Found this high school fan film saga on YouTube

It's actually quite funny and rather impressive with what they had to work with...

The opening battle goes a bit long, but if you need to skip ahead, check out their homage to the STVI zero G sequence, haha!

The additional parts afterward are pretty funny, too.

Not too bad all things considered. Just one thing puzzles me - They go though all that work yet no one can hem up their sleeves?

Wowbagger · April 8 2008, 12:11 AM

Niiiice zero-gee sequence. Seriously. That must have been a ton of work.

What's with the subtitles?

Mark_Nguyen · April 8 2008, 07:17 PM

It has to do with the language they're speaking. Apparently, not everyone understands English.

I really like the camera work. It's a neat little treat eerily reminiscent of stuff I did when I was that age...

That was impressive!

Ace1701A · April 9 2008, 05:52 AM

One element I found really well done was the background chatter in both parts of "Part 2." It made the setting seem larger, as if it really were a ship and not just some hallways.

Pretty good for high school students! I was impressed! It had a good seat-of-the-pants feel!

Data Holmes · April 15 2008, 02:10 AM

These kids where impressive...

Anyone catch that bit at the start of part on about not attempting the stunts and that two students where suspended after doing them?

Thalek · April 20 2008, 07:35 AM

Not bad at all, especially considering their resources.

Wish I'd been that good at that age.

J. Allen · April 20 2008, 09:12 AM

Loved it! And all I can say about that is, God bless Micro Machines.

Maurice · April 21 2008, 09:24 AM

Fun for them who made it but essentially unwatchable. I mean, there's no story.

And remember: if it doesn't say "Micro Machines," it's not the real thing!

I love the tripods-as-phaser rifles.
