I saw this on sky news today, a take off of star trek of course

here

it seems it has been down loaded loads and is a full length film

You have got to watch the trailer at least!!!!

Thanks Dax!

this likes a great laugh. I'm going to download the film later though, the file's a bit huge isn't it. I can't believe it's free - amazing!

Have you watched this film yet? What do you think of it if you did?

no I havent seen it yet, I will be downloading it too!
looks hilarious, wonder if its subtittled all the way through?
I dont mind if it is

it took about 2 hours to download! hope its worth it

My turn later, I'm going to set off the download before I go to bed.

Funnily enough I was reading about this the other day. Its been created by Star Trek and Babylon 5 fans apparantly. I'll have to get broadband to even attempt to download this!

Eckie,

I'll burn it onto a CD or DVD (I don't know if my new laptop can do DVD's yet) and send it to Sci_Fi Spectrum who could forward it to you if Sci-Fi Spectrum and you are happy with that. It's no trouble and would only take a few minutes for me to do it once it's all downloaded.

dont use real player to watch it as you cant but it seems to wpork ok with windows media player

well I watched it last night
it was very amusing if not very weird

to think they only spent 7 grand on making it is amazing! in some places it looks a little amature but on the whole very entertaining!

Well, I'm not sure what to say about this film.

I think 'interesting' sums it up. I don't want to be mean, partly because it was an absolutely amazing effort over 7 years to make what I thought was a technically brilliant film considering they were operating on a zero budget, using a lot of blue screen techniques (they used blue lino!), basically worked out of the directors living room using any computers he could get his hands on and also because the film is free. 10 out of 10 for effort and I thought the music was well edited into the film as well.

I think it's not my cup of tea because I felt the humour digs at Star Trek to such a degree that I actually wondered if they hated ST but now I've had a look at their earlier efforts from the early 1990's (animations) and I can see how their versions of humour and parody has developed over the years, I can see where they are coming from to a degree now. Bottom line I suppose is I find the humour pretty coarse and juvenile but there you go, that's just me I suppose. As it's been downloaded several hundred thousand times and has had thumbs up from all over the place it looks like my views will remain pretty much unique.

Regardless of what I thought of it, I would still recommend any sci-fi fan watch this - apart from anything else, I'm still in awe over what they have achieved with no money, limited resources and lots of will power. Absolutely brilliant from that aspect.

If you want to download their earlier efforts, here they are but be warned, they are pretty crudely done (although they have their funny moments) and will not be everyones cup of tea.

As soon as I have an hour or so to play with I shall watch it!

Watched it at last!. I thought it was very good. The effects were as good as ST. Better perhaps than B5? Good entertainment and amazing considering it was made by amateurs in Finland.
