Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Certified Crap. CrapScore 69, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Stranded future officers attempt to rebuild their power in a Finnish parody of televised space adventure. The homemade production's digital ships and virtual sets are remarkably ambitious. The story assumes some familiarity with earlier shorts, but the scale of fan filmmaking is a substantial attraction.

Synopsis and movie facts
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning begins with Captain James B. Pirk of the starship Kickstart shipwrecked on the 21st century Earth with his crew. Originally from the distant future, Pirk and his crew traveled back in time to save the Earth from hostile aliens, but lost their ship and became stranded. Pirk's daily routine consists mainly of stuffing his face at the local fast food restaurant, and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future. As the prospects for humanity's conquest of space look increasingly bleaker, Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...
