Directed by: Timo Vuorensola
The first Finnish science fiction parody and feature-length FX film. Featuring gorgeous visual effects and dark humour, Star Wreck tells the epic story of starship captain Pirk (Samuli Torssonen) who sets out to conquer the universe. Famine, wars, overpopulation and other problems begin to weigh heavily on the shoulders of Pirk, self-styled Emperor of the world. The situation seems hopeless, but Pirk's luck chances when one of his less trusted captains, Mr Fukov (Janos Honkonen), finds a strange worm hole. On the other side, they discover a whole new dimension full of new possibilities. But this new dimension is not up for grabs. Captain Sherrypie (Atte Joutsen) of the space station Babel 13 stands between Pirk and his lust for power.

In fact, without the Nazis, cinema might not have had so many great war films, POW films or other kinds of films necessitating a personification of evil. Of course, like many others I would wish for them to have never existed, because millions of lives are more important than any number of classic movies ... " [More]
