Mood: 
I just watched two fan films with jaw-dropping special effects. If fans can do this now, it won’t be long before we throw off the Hollywood yoke and get some really good “communist” entertainment going!
Here they are:
- Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Despite the silly name, the acting in this spoof is passable and geeks get the answer to a long-standing question: who would win, Star Trek or Babylon 5 (including Crusade)? Unfortunately in Finnish, but with subtitles. Full-length feature!
- Star Wars: Revelations
Takes place between the first and second trilogies. Acting’s not great, but nice (if dark) special effects.
While I’m thinking about it, have a look at these other favourites of mine:
- 405 - Created on home computers. Holy crap!
- Grayson - What if Batman was murdered and Robin wanted revenge? Keep an eye out for the guy playing Superman…exactly what an older Superman would look like.
- Legacy of the Jedi - First Star Wars film to show dual-wielding light sabres. Also, a surprise!
- TROOPS - The one that started it all!
