Star Wreck Released as Download
Arto Rantala writes "After seven years of production, Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning, the Finnish Star Trek / Babylon 5 parody movie, was finally released on DVD a month ago and is now available for download. In spite of its practically zero budget, the film has a hilariously captivating story, top notch CGI and even a couple of performances from professional actors. Download it now and buy the DVD if you like it! I know I did. You can also obtain it directly from the .torrent"
Please use http://www.starwreck.com/torrent/star_wreck_itp_su btitled_xvid.torrent to get the torrent. That will serve the file from the fastest server depending on load and your location.
Please note that movie is released under Creative Commons license. I wonder if they will release it in US ? May be not. different copyright laws etc
i bet you that this will be the biggest torrent pool ever!
Or is slashdot promoting piracy? It would be nice to see some info in the summary.
I wonder who plays "Data."
Reality test... am I dreaming?
Bit Torrent makes for a very strange comment: "Hey! Cool! This link is slashdotted!"
Those crazy finns have done it again! My review of the movie: ** 1/2 stars out of 5. Special effects are very nicely done, but the story is kind of dull. Acting is not very good either, but this I can understand because it's an amateur movie. And I didn't find it even funny. Is it just me? I don't get that type of humor.
Plot Summary for
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (2005) (V)
The future looks bleak for Captain Pirk. Originally from the far future, he traveled back to save the world, but was shipwrecked on the 21st century. The world of the past is a dangerous place and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future. To make things right Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...

Gotta see it to believe it. Unless the creators of the movie are the only finns with a sense of humour in all Finland or members of their Swedish minority...

The movie is released under Creative Commons, as you can see from the site itself.
So if you can, mirrors would be greatly appreciated. We have a fast setup, but there are a lot of people downloading the movie.

All I read looks like pure Star Trek spoofage, except it the Slashdot article.
Tell me I'm not downloading this for nothing...

"Did that ever take a *damned* long time." People have waited this movie for years, it was out in the midnight local time and Slashdot publishes an article full 23 hours later. Is this still News for Nerds? Get some priorities! =)
Anyways, enjoy the movie - I pre-ordered the DVD and I've only watched it three and half times, but even based on such flimsy conclusions I can say I seriously think this thing just rules, one of the best scifi special effect movies I've seen, parody or not.
What I find it interesting is that the website also has the .srt subtitles *and* a fairly detailed explanation from the translator on the intricacies of the translation - I sure hope this will make fan-provided translations a little bit better. Right now, I'm waiting for them to release the kind-of-promised SW:ITP soundtrack. This movie has some damn good music.
Overall rating a 6 (8 if you are familiar with Startrek AND Babylon 5).
Technically the movie was very good. The sound quality was good and the special effects were solid. There were a few spots I think could use polish- for example with the ship takes off the first time it goes straight up- I think a little tilt would have been used in the real series. But the quality was pro level in my opinion- "B" movie, not "A" movie- but pro.
Costumes. The costumes were pretty solid but one of the lower parts of the movie. This makes sense and you have to spend -real- money to buy fabric. This is probably one of the limiting factors of non-big budget productions going forward. You can simulate the sets, you can get actors cheap, but you have to spend real money on things like costumes, chairs, etc.
Production Quality. It was decent but suffered from having a small cast. You would see scores of starships but then only 20-30 people. I think some crowd scenes could be digitally multiplied to make them more effect.
Tone. This is where the movie is uneven. It can't decide if it wants to be serious with humor or outright parody. Some parts are excellent, tense, serious and then it will veer sharply into stupid things that would not happen in real life. On the other hand- a lot of other scenes were much more like what WOULD happen in real life than you typically see in movies. The tone may be required to avoid lawsuits since parody is protected.
Acting. To be honest- there is a lot higher quality acting than you might expect. Some of it is that the actors already know the character they are playing so they don't have to make it up. I think some actors play multiple roles. There are at least a dozen major characters in the movie and ALL are distinct and stand out (which is quite a feat in a 2 hour film). None of it felt "wooden". A fair amount of it was a bit overblown.
Makeup. The costuming for Dwarf was a bit weak- and the costuming for a non alien was cheesy (a choice they made for a nose joke I think). Info was well done. General costumes are solid. The females looked pretty hot in some cases (but tall thin in a short black leather skirt is going to work in most cases).
Action Scenes. These were very weak. Probably the weakest part of the film. I guess hollywood stuntpersons deserve a lot more credit than they get. I can understand- actors just can't hit and be hit without hurting themselves or getting hurt. Stuntpeople mitigate injury through training and they still get hurt.
In Jokes. This is where SW rules. They really have a lot of fun poking jokes at the characters- even to the point of using them to advance the plot. Some are dead on, some are stupid, some misfire. But a lot more hits than misses.
Plot. The plot is very well thought out- much better than many "A" hollywood movies. It has plenty of twists and turns. You don't know what to expect at any given time. I won't give much away but it is NOT just about a bunch of CGI ships flying around fighting- they ADVANCE the plot with those battles, but the plot is about characters and character conflict.
Ending. The ending was solid- and well I won't say more but apparently there are some mistaken data assumptions.

There are MANY hollywood films out that I would not watch for free. This movie, I would have happily paid 6 bucks to see (maybe 7).

Is there an Azureus plugin that would automatically block peers that aren't in my side of the pond? Seems to me that it's ridiculous for the packets to start in Finland, cross the Atlantic, then back to other european countries. Perhaps not as drastic as block, but at least traffic shape/prioritize by physical proximity. (Yes I STFGoogle)

Please use the torrent file for maximized download. The servers are a bit crowded at the moment. There are several servers in New York, London and in Finland servicing the website and the direct downloads. However those servers typically have only a FE-network interface (100mbps) so it gets pretty crowded in an instant.
;-)
However right now at the time of this post it's almost midnight in local Finnish time (EET) so downloading from the Finnish servers might be the fastest direct download link ATM. Lots of fins are either partying/boozing or sleeping at the moment, or have downloaded the movie earlier today.
The Finnish servers are:
http://www-fi.starwreck.com/
http://www-fi2.starwreck.com/
However it is strongly adviced that you use bittorrent - if you want to get the movie a bit faster
Does anyone have an ed2k link for this file?
Using the torrent linked in the article, I'm pumping outbound at over 30k/sec, but my inbound is less than 1k/sec. Seed up, people!

Sorry, the only Finnish Star Trek parody worth spending time on is the Internet classic "DAMN YOU PIRARD". Anything else pales in comparison.
We are seeding the torrent as fast as we can. Please try to be patient. And, as usual, remember your speed problems when you have downloaded the whole thing: try to seed it at least until your ratio is over 1, preferably even longer. Otherwise the torrent just won't spread fast enough.

So although I want to watch this movie, I won't till I've seen at least some substantial part of Babylon 5. That's always the trouble with a parody, if you don't know the original(s) you'll miss all those subtle or even not so subtle jokes...
but not via a download. Come on, give us a 4GB iso that can be burnt to a DVD and watched like a regular DVD. Sigh. It's not like it's costing them that much in the way of bandwidth as it's torrented. I imagine that it will probably cost more (bandwidth wise) if they decide to release a full DVD version for download in the future because their won't be so many peers.
I used to have a better sig but it broke.
...for that link. Seems the only thing limiting my downloadspeed at around 400 KB is the speed of my wireless network. :-)

Who says? Do they? Or do others? Most of these fanfilms suffer from totally patheticly inept acting. The graphics are have reached a point where they are usually cool, but the acting is terrible (someone should do a fan movie where R2D2 is the lead!) - and quite often the editing is also awful - it needs to be much tighter - but ooh, its granma/dad/the cute guy next door/the dog who is on and we can't cut here. YES YOU CAN.

I see I have ten seeds in 30 peers. My DSL connection is typcially rated at 650Kb.sec up 280Kb.sec down. I'm seeing about 6 to 14KiB/sec torrent download rate with an average near 9KiB, and 12 to 50 KiB/sec upload rate with an average near 39KiB.
when I look at my internet connection's packets I see lower values: 3 to 8 KB/sev and 8 to 50KB/sec
I'm about 30 minutes into what looks like a 13 hours download.
is that good for the download rate? I would have expected more upload rate, higher than or at least on par with the upload rate.
is the apparent difference bwteen torrents KiB and the KB on my internet something to do with headers and compression?

The language doesn't help. I have no troubles following subs and have watched my fair share off, to me, foreign language shows from germany, france, italy, asia etc. I just can't seem to get into finnish. If you are going to spend 7 years on a movie learn english. It is not that hard.
The special effects are sorta okay. Oh the space scenes are okay but the problem is with the take off scene. We have had similar scenes in all the real Star Trek movies with one tiny little difference. Humans. For a long time now shots of spaceships taking off have included human beings. The famous shot off the Millenium Falcon taking off with stormtroopers in the foreground now close to two decades ago makes the star wreck scene look, well look like a nicely rendered 3d studio scene. It is a nice 3d model but it is also extremely clear that it is no more. Remember that Final Fantasy that was so beautifull but lacked live? This is worse.
Decor, there was or maybe still is a fad for showing news programs in a virtual studio so they can all kinds of fancy decors without actually having to build them. Star Wreck is filled with them, especially the star trek bridges. THEY LOOK HUGE. Gigantic. Also grainy and empty. All the elements are there but for some reason it just doesn't seem to connect. It doesn't LOOK trek in the way even a cheap skit from the BBC or Saturday Night Life does.
The battles. Mmmm, I think someone wanted to show off how many star ships could be rendered at the same time. Showy, flashy but well lacking. None of the explosions are followed up by interior shots showing the effects. The Babylon fighters don't dogfight. In short it lacks the spark that we have seen in tv episodes with the real thing.
The plot. Perhaps there is something I missed but I just couldn't get involved. This is personal, especially since humor is involved and what one person finds hilarious others find not. Good parody for me comes very close to the original. Simply put, this is not how the star trek crew would behave not even if you take them to extremes of their character. Exactly WHY does picard choose to rule the world? I must have missed that.
The cutting. Cutting makes or breaks a movie. A scene can be made or broken by lasting just a few seconds to long. There are to many pauses, to many wasted moments. CUT CUT CUT. Most home movies suffer from this. Learn from the pros. Cut fast and cut often, it stops the viewer from getting bored. It also stops them from noticing pixalation in your background or badly stitched uniforms.
The acting. Well as said the finnish didn't exactly help me to "read" the emotions. It all sounded like they were permantly angry and drunk. Granted knowing fins this might be actually true.
The cutting also made some scenes drag out to long where you had several seconds of the cast just standing around after everything had been said wasting any quality acting.
Truly this movie is a huge achievement but at the same time I think it also shows a direction Home movies SHOULD not go. Learn to walk before you learn to run. First learn to direct and cut basic acting on regular set before you try to add hollywood type effects.
Simply put this seems awfully similar to those parodie porn movies, just with slightly better cgi. For a 7 years production I expected better acting. After watching this I am finally ready to face the last chapter of Star Wars. At least George Lucas knows how to really direct quality actors. (Well he does compared to the fins).
It is mean to be hard but basically I seen better star trek spoofs on various comedy shows over the years.

You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
I love Hesburger but living in England I don't get them that often.
The weird technical terminology in SW:ITP (such as "hand twinkler") has been consistently used in the previous Star Wreck movies, as well. They names are equally silly in the original Finnish dialog. There isn't really much you can do about it any longer, as those terms have become an integral part of the Star Wreck series.
That being said, if you have already seen the movie in its entirety, and don't fear of being spoiled any more, you might want to take a look at the annotated English translation which gives some backround to of many of the more peculiar word choices and figures of speech in the English subtitles.
Anyone considering fansubbing or fandubbing In the Pirkinning should study that document very carefully in order not to miss the many in-jokes and subleties in the original script.
Moreover, it would be highly advisable to contact the authors before conceiving translation projects of any kind so that things can be kept well-coordinated and technically sound, and you don't end up needlessly duplicating projects that others have already started working on.
To get in touch with the authors, try dropping a message on the Star Wreck Forum, or simply emailing them.
Hehee, leave it up to slashdotters to mod a post with star trek in a negative light as a troll. But seriously, it really happens in the movie. And I did put a spoiler warning in the title, so that's probably not the reason for -1, troll. :P
I think you are mistaking any intention on my part to customize my personal copy with an intention to customize the public copy. There isn't a case of "really much you can do about it" because I didn't care to do anything about it in the first place. You are taking an off the cuff comment by me way more seriously than it warrants.

I just watched the whole thing: I have never seen such an enormous waste of CG-talent and render time on something so poorly acted, poorly written and generally inane. Conclusion: Big Waste-O-Time.

Anyway brave statement, and nice to see someone conjuring up bandwidth and helping getting this movie out to people who are interested.
Thanks!
As a Finn myself I'm still skeptical about the international appeal. The film has received very good reviews and feedback, but it's all domestic. Speaking with the authoritative voice of a person who hasn't actually seen it yet, the fact is that In The Pirkinning makes extensive use of its Finnishness.
The subtitles of the previous installments don't seem to be there for allowing English-speakers to comprehend what's going on as much as compounding the funniness inherent in Star Trek in Finnish. They certainly don't work half as well on their own. Not only are a lot of nuances lost when converting Finno-Ugric speech into terse Latin-influenced Germanic writing, but someone relying on subtitles won't even notice the overtranslations - replacements for words that usually are just lifted from English - and has to skip a crucial part of the constant wordplay. Calling 'warp' 'twist' isn't funny. Calling 'warp' a Finnish word that can mean 'warp' 'twist' or 'perversion' while simultaneously displaying an English translation calling it 'twist' to an audience that fully well knows that it's 'warp'... that is funny precisely in the way that good jokes mess with your head. If you can't see why, that likely was my point.
As TNG episode "Darmok" tells us, even universal translators wouldn't guarantee full understanding, unless they were superadvanced subspace translators that interfaced directly with their users' brains feeding them required knowledge, but I digress. Even if the language barrier was removed the average outlander would hardly notice that Info's named after a bookstore chain, much less that his motto is from the old advertisements of said chain. He likely wouldn't have the right misconceptions about the Russian Mafia (even, or in fact especially, if he was actually Russian). Even if I was explaining the hilarious multi-faceted pun that is Garibaldi-equivalent's name I wouldn't know how. Juxtapositions are kinda lost on those who aren't familiar with both of the juxtees, too. And these things go on throughout the movie!
Don't get me started on the onslaught of sight gags or how much is conveyed by tone of voice.
Just wanted to clear up that the terminology in the movie was not based on any arbitrary one-off random decision, but to keep continuity with the previous movies - that's all. No offense meant.
(The earlier episodes of Star Wreck are now temporarily offline, by the way, but will be re-released some time later. Or so it has been promised.)
Wow... GO SWEDISH!!!
I wish I could buy that kind of bandwith
Funny thing about torrents: you get too many people and you connect with your settings too low and those you are connected to arent uploading very fast.... = slow.
That's all. What else is there to say?
Uhhhh As a iowan, I didn't see the humor. And I jsut decided that I don't like the sound of drunken finnish.. It was funny to hear English tossed in,,, Ok Surr.
This movie isn't targetted at Americans , as such most Americans will not find this humorous. And I was very much misled thinking this would have some basis on the star wreck books, which are hilarious.
An itchy nose must be scratched.
- Gronk!
And mod grandparent down. For the sake of all the decent Americans that a) realise there's a world outside the United States of Arrogance and b) can read subtitles without feeling alienated.
I watched the whole thing, with English subtitles. The acting sucked, but that's to be expected. The dialogue either really really sucked or was really badly translated, but I'm guessing both - there is no way anything good was in Swedish that translated to English so terribly. And the plot was downright stupid - not funny. See Uncyclopedia's page on how to be funny and not just stupid.
...about this movie wasn't the decent-to-good acting of the main characters, or the humorous yet interesting story, the hillarious gags, or even the totally awesome special effects.
;)
No, I think the most suprising thing about this movie is just how many good looking girls they managed to convince to participate in a complete geek-fest of a film. (Hellloooo Bridge-Girls!)
I dunno about the rest of you, but if there's really that many hot girls in Finland who like nerdy stuff, i'm packing my bags!
From what I found poking around on their forums, I believe they used Lightwave for their (extensive) special effects.
Star Wreck is a fan movie. It's basically zero-budget. There is simply no other fan movie coming even close to it. I think it is quite interesting to notice that unlike on most fan films, people always start (intentionally or intentionally) comparing SW to real movies like Hollywood stuff. That never happens on discussions about fan films.
Somebody below this even said 'this shows that Hollywood still rules' and 'at least George Lucas can direct professional actors'. Yeah, and does he do that in his bedroom? :D
Hollywood never produces anything like this, because a term Hollywood movie means at least some $$$ put into it by default. Even the worst of the worst have some budget. The reviews which compare SW to Hollywood stuff are a massive victory to the makers of this movie.
They just show that the flick is so neat for a fan flick that people can't treat it as such anymore :D
-el
Don't waste your time.
From the previews, this is not a waste of time. Some of the criticisms are just wrong-headed moronic. This is fan made material done at next to zero budget, and it comes off a thousand percent better than some of the b-Grade skiffy trash I see being rented from the video shops.
It would be great if some big network like Sci-fi channel would pick it up, pay these guys a room full of cash, and do a commercial production version, tampering as little as possible with the original story line.
This will be a cult classic! It will be played on science fiction convention video channels for decades to come.
Actually, I don't know the tech behind phasers, but its probably alot more unreal than plasma and particle beams. They also did the warp thing, which is so far total Sci Fi even in B5 terms. If they had to actually dock with B5 (oops, what crazy tech do they use to propel themselves?) then run around punching everyone in the station out that'd fly as having their physics invalidated.
Actually shields have been demonstrated in B5 from an alternate universe of sorts before, They might actually be owed that (then they can deal with the elder races instead of picking on an immobile tin-can).

Well worth the download.
This is _the_ best Star Trek movie. None of the others come even close in terms of quality and plot development.
It is true that there are some Finnish inside jokes but for the most part any person versed in the sci-fi genre should get a kick out of this.
I personally do not know any of the people involved with this project, but with what they had to work with, it is the best movie produced out of a bedroom _ever_. Like someone said: "Hollywood doesn't direct movies with no budget, but they still can't do it as stylishly as this!"
It is a must see for movie freaks in general, and any Trekkie who has not seen it is not worth their salt.
Check it out, you will not be disappointed. Besides, this was probably the fastest torrent download I've ever experienced. Thanks everybody for making it available for such a wide audience in such a short period of time.
About the translation to english, the translator has done a wonderful job bringing the jokes to life in a different language. Hardly ever do you see such effort put into the language differences when translating parody.
It rocks!
They can produce a great film of this superior quality while hollywood can only hope to achieve this with millions! Ha ha, I just finished watching the movie (the non-subtitled version, as I am fluent in Finnish) and it was hilarious!
Meh.
This is an amazing movie! I just can imagine all the work that was needed to make it.
The movie is full of jokes everywhere, it takes serious attention to catch many of them. For STNG and B5 fans, it is a pure delight.
Seeing STNG and B5 fighting against each other put me in a strange position of not knowing for who I should cheer for, both are the "good" guys!
Seeing all those B5 scenes gave me a serious case of nostalgia, it made me want to see the serie all over again (knowing the ending makes me wonder if I would like it as much as I did though).
Lots of the CGI is remarkable in their quality and complexity, many of the big battle scenes gave me the same feeling I had when watch those from B5.
Really great work guy!
Well having watched that I think it's excellent and just as entertaining as Galaxy Quest ! And really this just shows what can be acheived without a bunch of focus groups and marketing mediocretins dumbing everything down to please the lowest common denominator.
:)

So much kudos to those involved and I think a DVD order will be forthcoming (if only to see those delightful bridge girls in better resolution

Sky subscribers are morons. They pay to be advertised at !
Ah, Slashdot once again shows its gross inability to accept dissenting opinions. Somewhat reasonable "the movie was okay, a little on the bad side" post is made... And the poster is told to "piss off" by some guy, just for being different. And to add insult to injury, the mods applaud this attack, giving the replier more points than the original.
Nice.
good movie
It sounds like a good idea until the creators of Star Trek and Babylon 5 send lawyers after them. Even parody is no longer considered "fair use" anymore due to new copyright and trademark laws.
Still I watched half of it, and it was quite funny, but has a twisted view of history that favors the Russians/CCCP/Soviet Union, etc. I think that it is the "Mirror Mirror" version of Pirk in this movie, the real Pirk would be appearing on commercials for Dotcom companies and trying to take off his singing career if he was stranded in the past, not try to form an Empire version of P-Fleet. Still the Babel 13 Commander Sherrypie tends to make too many speeches, and does not take enough actions.
Halfway through the film, I started to scream "Uggghhhhh my eyes, my eyes!" as I tried to read the subtitles that made no sense, look at the wooden acting, and tried to follow what little of a plot they had. As soon as my retinas heal up a bit, I'll watch the other half.
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
That was a great movie.
