Raumschiff Surprise
According to IMDB the movie was not that cool, but this trailer certainly seems..... weird :D
And the fact that my German knowledge is barely superior to my Klingon one doesn't help much ;)

Well that movie has a long history. The man behind it is called Michael "Bully" Herbig and he is a comedian. Besides several movie project he used to have TV show over here in Germany which ran for 7 years ( only ended because one of the three main stars decided to leave ). The show was called "Bully Parade" and was basically just showing sketches. Once series of sketches was a parody of Star Trek ( Mr. Herbig is the one playing "Spock", another one was about Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, western classics oiver here in GErmany ( written by Carl May, I do not know how much they are distributed in other countries ).
He then decided to make a movie about Winnetou which turned out to be the best domestic movie ever. As a consequence he launched an internet poll so that the fans could decide what should be next made into a movie - they choose the Star Trek parody and hence the movie.
Traumschiff Surprise as it is called correctly ( meaning something like Dreamship surprise, relating to another in my eyes pathetic TV series called "Dreamship" ), is quite an entertaining movie and makes fun of many recent sci-fi movies/ themes. There is Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Files and various others. However there are many puns and language jokes which are probably lost in translation and therefore I do not know if non-germans would find it terribly funny and it is not as good as Bully's western movie "Der Schuh des Manitu" ( the shoe of manitu ) which even was shown in the US - with one copy.
Okayyy... thanks for the background info, Evan :)
Guess I'd have to resume my German studies, then :p
