Star Trek Phoenix Flight (Star Trek First Contact & Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride)

After watching "Star Trek: First Contact" I wanted (ofcourse) to hear full version of "Magic Carpet Ride"...best watching the flight of Phoenix with it. After shuffling through few pages of related movies I've realized there's no movie that could satisfy me
Yep...so i decided to do it by myself :)
Hope You'll enjoy it!

I wanted to assign this video to Creative Commons but it was denied because of material used in it, so i write it here:
Sound and picture were taken from web pages where material is freely accessible. "Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride" is in unchanged form from beggining to the end (as oryginal as I could get it). "Star Trek: First Contact" frames (and a bit of sound) were matched to imitate music video clip, or something like that. As You can clearly see on handshake flash (that I hope is not too lame by the way) I didn't even use any professional tool...just MS Movie Maker...and I'm proud of it ;) . "cgrimm did it" stands only for cutting and putting together someone else's material for which I don't claim any rights. Therefore it is understandable that from my side no one will get any problems after sharing, remaking or whatever You want to do with this movie. I have a great hope that Paramount Pictures and holders of rights to Steppenwolf's work will feel the same way and will let us enjoy this tiny part of their great work. I hope You'll just add advertisements or something but please don't block this video...one way or another all material is Yours and I don't get any profit from it...I've made it and shared it only for the creeps :)
"Don't try to be a great man, just be a man. And let history make its own judgments"

P.S.
Sorry in advance for not responding for any comments. As You probably know we have to change our KZbin account names for this from Goolge...and it pisses me off like hell! I won't do that as long as it'll be possible ;)

[@dandaman2753]

I agree 100% and I've never even seen this Star Trek movie! I like the part at 00:19 , where Deanna gets blasted by Rock and Roll! Take that, all you future mind-reading girlfriends! I really think he should have said "Let's rock and roll baby!!!" because that would have been more in line to what someone around the Steppenwolf time frame generation would have said. My sincerest thanks to whoever posted this and the makers of that movie because now I've got to watch it. I gave up on this Star Trek movies. But maybe there's A New Hope. : )

[@WardenWolf]

I still think they did Cochrane dirty. His portrayal in the pocket novel Federation was much better, and tied in well with Encounter at Farpoint, where Q mentioned they used to control soldiers with drugs (they show that time period in the book). It portrayed him as a dedicated scientist and good man who nonetheless had a tragic life.

[@dandaman2753]

This is by far the best version of this rocket ship launch scene. And for me it is the best version of any scene in Any of the Star Trek movies, and that's saying something. This is just my opinion but I think you should put more rock songs to lots of the Star Trek TV show and movie special scenes. Starting with the paradise syndrome TV show episode, one of my favorites. Even if you don't ever get around to doing that suggestion I thank you for this great video, that I watch a lot. Thank you!

[@Ebeneezergoode1]

It wasnt warp flight that made Vulcan call us up, it was fucking Steppenwolf baby

[@EdiaStanfordBruce]

And I bet you can hear it blasting in every Starfleet dorm and every Vulcan Sci Institute dorm every first contact day. :)

[@rezadaneshi]

I always wondered why Enterprise didn’t create the warp signature for volcans to detect. Prime directive intent is not to change future’s direction at any cost especially keeping earth from becoming Borg which is not in violation pending on however we notify the Vulcans….

[@CharlieBrn]

Great work

[@MonteLeeMyPOV]

Funny but I never thought of them as astronauts till this scene but that's really what they are.

[@MsLogjam]

NASA is to Starfleet what the pioneers were to the West Coast transplants of the present. And a note to the New Yorkers who move to California: please don't bring your toaster, DVD player, etc. You can get new ones out here very easily and they won't have built-in cockroach nests.

[@davecrupel2817]

mlee2001 You forget what the word "astro-naut" really is. the suffix "naut" is a greek word. for all intents and purposes, naut is used to define an explorer. a pioneer. a frontiersman. and still very much means that today. an "aqua-naut" is an explorer of the seas, oceans, and other bodiesof water. a "Geo-naut" could be used for someone exploring the depths of a planet. A "helio-naut"might one day be used for someone who dives into a star (assuming we ever develop technology for that) to study how it works on the inside. An explorer of stars (directly) And, of course, the more commonly used "astro-naut" meaning one who explores Outer Space. I believe the most famous ancient example comes from "Jason and the Argonauts". The Argonauts were explorers berthed out of the ancient city of Argos. They explored the Meditteranean. Im sure other cities had such explorers too. The "Athenauts" perhaps. but yeah. by definition, Starfleet is an organization of Astronauts. perfectly legitimate word for them.
