"Star Wreck" and amazing amateur movies
Posted: 2002-10-05 08:28pm
Star Wreck is an animation/live-action movie series that spoofs Trek. There are currently six films available for download at their website (SW 4½ is a prequel), and especially the newer movies are quite good. Star Wreck VI that is in post-production, has a budget over $10 000 and contains - among many other things, I hope - awesome CGI.
It's Babel 13 vs Wreck time!
If you are even slightly interested, I'd recommend at least downloading teaser 2 of SW VI. Quality for a home-made production is really impressive. If you want to watch some of the already finished movies, preferebly watch SW V or SW 4½ first. Older movies are a bit crude, at least graphically

If you have a Real-Player installed, then check out this trailer:

It's hard to imagine that a bunch of amateurs (with support from a few professional actors who did their roles for free) can do something like that. The movie is supposed to be a weird combination of horror/sci-fi/war/action/western. Movie is coming out later this year. I'd really like to see what these people could do with a multi-million dollar budget.

Then, of course, there is Star Wars parody "Troops" that everyone has probably seen. It probably needs no further introduction, but unless you haven't seen it then here's the URL:

"Shuttle Tyridium - The True Story" is a lesser-known serious Star Wars fan film from Germany. They've got nothing to be shamed of....
