Star Wreck: In the Pirkining (2005)

★★★★★ · VERY FUNNY - VERY WELL DONE -- STUDIO QUALITY EFFECTS! · DirectedBy · 2008-06-21

Once upon a time in Finland, some Trekkers and BABYLON 5 fans decided to make there own little film -- No-siree, I will not call it a 'fan film' as it is a movie that shoulda-woulda-coulda played in theaters with a healthy DVD sales / ad campaign to follow. The plot? (SPOILER WARNING: Think 'Mirror-Mirror' & 'Assignment Earth' from ST:TOS meets the universe of something from Babylon 5 ... as I never watched the show.) It's funny -- it has imagination -- it has professionalism despite a zero-budget .... but MOST OF ALL ----- it has heart! The Special Effects? Hold the modem! The visual effects…

If you want to see satire perfection, this is it! You have to pay attention since the character interplay never ceases. IMHO the special effects blows away anything from the original series. Just writing this makes me want to watch it again. And here it is on my screen. Ain't computers amazing!

Seriously funny and well done

★★★★ · Really punches above its weight class · il-Kaptan · 2026-10-27

Seeing as how this is a fan made film; you have to expect a certain level of quality, but this is surprisingly good looking. There are great sets, costumes, and the effects look like they could have come from an episode of Babylon 5 itself. The acting is a little hit and miss, but there are some legitimately good moments, in particular the reaction shots and freakouts of Pirk during the climatic battle. Unfortunately, that battle is why I have to give it a four (I might give it a four and a half if I could, but anyway). It's just too long, even though I was enjoying myself during it, I kept…

I am not sure why I like this enough for a 4. It was pretty funny, especially in the first half. The long battle in the second half didn't hold my attention as well. All in all it is much better than most other space comedies

★★★ · not that good · flickfdude · 2008-07-19

It was somewhat funny but it wasn't as good as a five nor well acted enough to get a 4 but a three and a half maybe. I gave it a three to bring down the hype it has gotten here. It is like a comedy bar movie, with weird comics and sci-fi buff in-humor. Don’t expect much more.
