Star Wreck

The Science fiction universe boasts two great series, Star Trek and Babylon 5 (okay so there’s also Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Andromeda etc.). What happens when these two universes collide head on? You get a great spoofest courtesy of several dedicated Finnish nationals that took 7 years to make and is being distributed free. Star Wreck: in the Pirkinning is truly one of a kind. What started out as just a hobby it’s totally out of the world. In fact the quality of the scenes even rivals actual scene one would expect to find in a normal hour episode of Star Trek, photon torpedoes and all. Another plus is the actors though not professionals gives quite a show worthy of a Starfleet officer, or should I say P-fleet.

The film combines elements of Star Trek; with its head captain Pirk, later emperor Pirk along with his motley crew of Dwarf (ala Worf) and Info (Data) as well as Starfleet ships and Babylon 5; Captain Sherrypie (Sheridan), Ivanovitsa (Ivanova), GaryBrandy (Garibaldi), Babel 13 (Babylon 5) and more. So a two hour laugh fest ensues with banal jokes at times and silly spoofs that will sure put you in stitches, being a fan of both helps a lot in appreciating some of the subtler jokes. Though the movie is in Finnish, an English subtitled version is available for download, did I mention it was free? Go ahead watch it and I dare you not to laugh. The site can be found at the official download site found at the official download site at www.starwreck.com. Enjoy.
