Review: Star Wreck - The Pirkinning
This is a free Finnish sci-fi spoof available here.
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning begins with Captain James B. Pirk of the starship Kickstart shipwrecked on the 21st century Earth with his crew. Originally from the distant future, Pirk and his crew travelled back in time to save the Earth from hostile aliens, but lost their ship and became stranded. Pirk's daily routine consists mainly of stuffing his face at the local fast food restaurant, and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future...The quality of the production is amazing given that this is essentially a home-brew project. Unfortunately most of the humor gets lost in translation, nonetheless it's a good laugh for any sci-fi fans out there.
