Star Wreck Trailer

Posted by michael on from the crazy-finns dept.

ultramarweeni writes "'Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning', a very fascinating feature-length Finnish Star Trek satire is now nearing its completion. Today, December 13th, the trailer was published at 0:00 GMT after 14 hours of technical problems. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning tells the story of the crew of P-Fleet starship C.P.P. Kickstart, which was stranded on Earth after an accident after a battle against the Korg. With the help of the technology to come, their leader, Captain Pirk claims himself as the emperor of the Earth. He conquers the world and rebuilds the P-Fleet. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning has been in the making since 1999 and will probably be completed in spring 2004. Or maybe not. Time will tell."

    The site is quite slow (although they do have enough bandwidth), probably because it's all done in PHP. Mega-bandwidth doesn't help there..

    Here's the direct link to the trailer: http://www.starwreck.com/media/itp/star_wreck_itp_ trailer_divx.avi

    If you look at the trailer at all, you'd notice that the CGI sequences are not clips from ST episodes. After all, how many times did we see B5... B13, I mean, in Star Trek?

    The 3d models used could be a problem, though.
