This vid by Kiki miserychic expresses the widespread fannish joy over the 2009 Star Trek movie; it also captures the reboot's younger, more frat-boyish tone compared to the original series.
It was featured in both the "24/7" 2010: The State of the Art in DIY Video and the Open Video Conference 2010 vidshows.
Like sparkly_stuff's Reboot Star Trek picspam I'm On A Ship, the vid was inspired by The Lonely Island's hip hop song I'm on a Boat.
Recs and Reactions
- "This was SO much fun! Not only that, it's extremely well put together. Like wow. The connections and motion are unrelentingly brilliant."[1]
- "[...] this vid is fantastic fun. As always kiki_miserychic makes superb use of camera movement, internal motion and quick cuts to create a really awesome visual experience. The vid moves with the song and captures the cracked-out optimistic, aggressive feel of the movie perfectly. I think, though, what I really love about it is how the song, despite being, on the face of it, another song about how awesome some rapper is, is so...naive and, um, sweet? Like, OMFG, I HAVE A THING!! Which really, is the entirety of Star Trek, both in terms of the characters getting their boat, and us watching it."[2]
- "Star Trek (the film) didn't press my buttons but the vid totally did. So much damn FUN! Makes me wish I were in the fandom so that this could be my anthem!"[3]
