    • Trivia
      The CGI were rendered using standard home computers. In some scenes a single frame could take over ten hours to render and in one second of footage there are 25 frames. Overall, the CGI seen in the movie took five years to render.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning, when Dwarf looks at Pirk's magazine, the magazine title says "Tiede"; when it's on table, it's "Tiedä". (Tiede is an actual Finnish monthly science magazine, and "Tiedä" would be a spoof of it.)
    • Quotes

      [subtitled version]

      Keisari James B. Pirk: Really, I did all I could for mankind, but did anybody thank me? No, they just whined about famine and overpopulation and stuff.

    • Alternate versions
      A special Imperial Edition is available on DVD. This version has been revamped for a wider distribution. It has completely new special effects, with space ships designed specially for this movie. The soundtrack is re-mastered for added speech clarity and more sound effects can be heard.

    Excellent!!
    No spoilers here :) A very funny and multi-layer film for the fan of science fiction. Nothing like this has ever been made in Finland, and this is bound to put Finland on the sci-fi -map.

    Some of the humor is very Finnish, a lot universal :) The structure of the film is nicely thought through and executed, with an ending that left me wondering if there is to be a sequel :) Considering that the actors excluding two or three if I am correct, were all amateurs, friends and volunteer fans, the movie was very skilfully over-acted and cast to the best possible Star Wreck -style. The actors were all charming and sure to win you over. To be noted that this is the 6th Star Wreck film made.

    The effects are excellent, the war scenes actually do work in spite of the comedy nature which is never made cliché or a boring repetition, a pitfall of many parodies. Two thumbs-up for the music as well.

    Hard to believe that this wasn't made by professionals.

    All in all, a well-made full-length feature film.

    Must-see for all sci-fi fans!
