    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?

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

    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...

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

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

    Not bad at all, especially considering their resources.

    Wish I'd been that good at that age.

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

    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!

    Ya know, I just watched this again, and it really is a lot of fun. I don't think they were trying to tell a grand story, just seeing what they could pull off. My hat is off to these guys! I love the zero-g effect!
