German comedy based upon a German sketch show bit about the Starship Surprise and its gay crew. Think gay Trek Think funny, in a very wrong sort of way. Yes, I know Germany and comedy don't go together, but this movie actually works, and when you aren't laughing you find yourself curious enough to want to know how its all going to come out. Looking infinitely better than George Lucas's last three Star Wars films and made for a fraction of the budget this is a scifi spoof that plays like a twisted version of Spaceballs but where the jokes are not so scatter-shot and are tied to the plot. The plot has to do with the evil Martian Empire coming to take over or destroy earth depending on whether or not we want to surrender. The only hope is the crew of the Starship Surprise which the leaders of earth want to send back in time to prevent the events at Roswell New Mexico 300 years before. The crew isn't interested since they'd rather prepare for the Miss Waikiki Contest. Eventually they do go back but the time machine doesn't quite work right and we end up with knights and armor and western spoofs as well. If you're a Trek fan its worth seeing. If you're a Star Wars fan its worth seeing and the same goes for all scifi junkies. Yes its dumb, but its funny which is all that matters. If you can get your hands on this movie give it a shot, its definitely worth a bucket of popcorn and a soda.
