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"

Well, according to a post a few posts up, the movie is under a Creative Commons license, hence, it is legal.

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...

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.

Here's a mirror, only has the highres content right now, since the torrent was way faster than the plain http download. But it will get there eventually too.

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/media/StarWreck-InThe Pirkinning/

Feel free to hit that, we can handle the load. :) If you need to offload your servers, you can provide http redirects to that host, once we have the wmv properly downloaded too.

In Pirk's words...

"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.

oh p155 off... I've just finished watching it and have been in fits of laughter... you must have had you sense of humour extracted some time ago... there are several very deep in jokes in it... I especially liked the bit where Pirk and the Babel 13 captain were fighting each other in what appeared to be a tunnel... rather reminiscent of an early star trek episode where one protagonist was locked in eternal combat with his opposite from the anti-matter universe... and Pirks' female bridge officer... hmmm... seriously hot, those legs just seem to go on forever... especially when she's pulling her boots up most of the time...
