Where no Finn has gone before.

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a Finnish Star Trek spoof made over seven years by some three hundred volunteers. You can view the trailer and download the full movie (Finnish with English subtitles) via Bittorrent. Be sure to check out the behind the scenes gallery.

That looks just great. It looks sometimes like technology will turn us all into passive couch potatoes: it's great to see readly-available computer power and media equipment instead put to create as well as consume. Even if it is a Star Trek parody. I hope their next project will be something different and new and creative.

Finnish? They should've performed it in the original Klingon.

The difference between real sci-fi movies and fan movies is: ponytails on men.

I downloaded this but it apparently requires a special codec. Anyone know where I obtain it?

The codec may be downloaded by following the original poster's "BitTorrent" link.

I saw posters of another Star Trek spoof in Austria last year. I didn't watched it yet, however is seems to be really funny.

Wow. Volunteers made this? I was expecting jerky footage and schlocky looking sets but it looks RAD!!

One more time, another effort: Starship Exeter.

Finally ... it can be settled ...

Wow, some of the scenes were mind blowing. Totally awesome. I love how the P fleet were like a bizarro Starfleet.
