Overview

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...

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A wildly inventive Finnish parody that lovingly dismantles space opera tropes while building something genuinely weird and entertaining from shoestring ambition. It's scrappy, ridiculous, and surprisingly fun, a fan passion project that refuses to apologize for its low-fi charm.
