Trivia

During the fight between our heroes and the Star Trek (1966) fans at the dedication of the Captain James T. Kirk statue, Spock's ears are ripped off. This is reminiscent of the 1976 Saturday Night Live (1975) skit titled "The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise" where Spock's (played by Chevy Chase) ears are removed as Spock calls out, "My ears!", as part of the dismantling of the Star Trek (1966) set and series cancellation.

Goofs

In the opening sequence when we see the words come across the screen it states "the year is 1998". On the bottom it says "sent from my iPhone". The film is told as a story, so the crawl would have been written later. See more »

Yes, it's full of clichés, so what?
3 May 2009 | by (Sweden) – See all my reviews

Although this product is far from inventive, or full of carefully orchestrated comedy. It is by no matter of means, slow and boring. If anything, it makes the time fly.

The humour is rather stupid and vulgar, but if you're even close to being a sci-fi geek yourself, or able to appreciate how hilarious this kind of archetype can be. You won't be disappointed.

However, there is a failed attempt at adding heartfelt drama to this movie, no doubt trying to inspire people to follow their dreams and remind them that the time for doing so, is limited. Which isn't a bad thing to do, obviously. It just seemed a little bit out of place. On that note; I have no clue as to why drama and crime are added to this film's genre, you might as well add romance and sci-fi.

Disconnect your brain and laugh your aches away!
