Star Wreck Trailer

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."

    Got the trailer, got the teasers, am i missing something? This is a spoof on star trek obviously, but i didn't laugh.

    It doesn't help that the whole trailer isn't in english. So that takes away from the humor for me. That, and the fact that they have really GOOD special effects in the trailer takes away from the humor.

    Most spoofs i've seen are cheezy, hilarious knock-offs of the orignials with a heavy dose of humor. hell, make the actors a bit more convincing, and use real black actors, i would have taken this trailer as a trailer for a new star trek series, not a spoof.

    Anyway, analysis complete. :)
