Star Wreck In The Pirkinning is a Finnish no-budget sci-fi parody making fun of Star Trek, Babylon 5 and various other SF series, featuring better special effects than the programmes it's spoofing. It was created by an entirely unpaid group of amateur film-makers, with most of the film shot in the producer's house using bluescreen techniques. The film was then given away on the internet under a Creative Commons licence, with over 8 million people downloading it so far through official torrents and many more passing it on to their friends. The original translation was in simple American English in order to reach a wide global audience. However, I've done a slightly more detailed UK English translation as I think this better fits the feel of the original Finnish script. I think UK English also fits the comedy sci-fi genre better, as seen in Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Doctor Who. Some of the jokes may seem a bit baffling to non-British people, but hopefully most of it can be appreciated by all English-speakers.
