Three hundred years in the future, Mars is colonized by humans and their leader Regulator Rogul (Hans-Michael Rehberg) plans to conquer Earth. Queen Königin Metapha (Anja Kling) is advised to send the gays Captain Kork (Christian Tramitz), the Vulcannette Brigitte Spuck (Michael Herbig) and the engineer Schrotty (Rick Kavanian) from the Surprise to the past in an experimental time machine to destroy the spaceship that human discovered in Area 51 in 2004 and avoid their technological knowledge in spacecrafts. She summons the trio and the taxi driver Rock Fertig Aus (Til Schweiger) brings them to the meeting but Rogul attacks Earth. In the havoc, Kork, Spuck, Rock and Metapha travel to the past but they are hunted down by the evil Lord Jean Maul (Rick Kavanian). Now the only hope for the human race depends on the success of their mission."(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1" has a promising storyline, with a parody to the cults "Star Trek" and "Star Wars". However this sci-fi comedy is not my type of humor and is indicated only for very specific audiences. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "A Espaçonave das Loucas" ("The Spacecraft of the Crazy Gays")

I just so loved this movie.As the first one also: Der Schuh Des Manitu. The three actors: Christian Tramitz, Bully and Rick Kavanian are just super. On this movie they successfully brought back the feeling of their legendary and amazing TV-show: Bullyparade. The performance of them is amazing and really funny, and their voice, i love it.(Everybody must watch this movie in original German, thats the best) I watched it a hundred times, but i cant get bored with it. Many of the great vignettes come back from the Bullyparades Traumschiff surprise, but they don't make the mistake making the same again. Its great to see commitments to the previously film (Sky Dumont, Jim and Jack), and Till Schweiger was also a great choice for the role of Rock. Usually the drama-actors are in the spotlight, but its also very hard to make a good comedy. They did it, i just love this German-sense of humor. 10/10

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.

I don't know whether the movie "Traumschiff Surprise" was translated in English. Because it's hard to understand all the gags, if you can't speak German well (and it's nearly impossible to translate all jokes, because many jokes who are funny in Germany, doesn't make sens in the US any more). Even the title is a funny pun: TRAUMSCHIFF Leave the T and it is RAUMSCHIFF (German word for space shuttle). Leave THe word SCHIFF and it is TRAUM (German word for dream). Or the gags with these US generals at the beginning: one of the name plates says "Reisfeld". A joke with the names: Donald RumsFELD and Condoleezza RICE (because Reis is the German word for rice). OK, that's very difficult to explain if you don't understand the German language, like I said (of course you've got to know the US politics in this case, too :). In my opinion, the film was funny; but not as funny as Michael Herbig's 1st film:Der Schuh Des Manitu (Manitou's Shoe). Of course they act as a bit gay guys, but I think we live in the 21th century and in this case, some people are really behind the times. Laugh above it, it's just a movie.
