Thanks for that Jesper!
I've tried watching it in sync with the video, I really like the beginning very much indeed. It sounds a lot more timeless than the current electronic soundtrack.
The second half perhaps needs a bit more punch. There's nothing wrong with it as such, but I think it needs to shift gears a bit more, to keep viewers watching. Perhaps the music could change significantly when it gets to the sequence where the camera zooms in on the planet?
Incidentally, I'm basing these comments on the latest version of the video from May:

I Don't fully agree with the length criticism, because I keep asking myself: What would I cut out. It takes 2.13 to introduce the start idea and the10 films. I don't think that the time should be cut, if all the productions are presented. For those of us who haven't seen most of the films those seconds are needed to get the idea that they are (or will be) great films. And the big (youtube) audience must get the idea that productions via WAM are great. That is essential for them to join us. And the other 2.20 minutes are great and educational entertainment showing the potential of the site.
Then what would I do?
- Keep this one the way it is, make some alterations in the music. Maybe even use the real music of Star Wrek in the latter part.
- If the length issue is an issue cut in half: You'd have two 2 minutes 20 second commercials. One featuring the projects one featuring the site.
- Make two totally new clips (a 30 sec and a 1,15 minutes) with captain Pirk narrating :"Before we could take over the galaxy we had to take over the internet."
That's what I would do

Sami, I agree with this.
I think as we said earlier, we should have three versions: one like it is now, one at 90 sec and another at 30 sec.
I was at a press event for Jyväskylän Kesä (which the Wreckamovie event will be part of) and they had a number of publicity films being shown about all the singers, bands, groups etc taking part. There were so many being shown, they cut some of them short. They usually allowed about 90 sec before they cut them short, so perhaps that's a good length to have too.

Thanks,
I'll be looking into that production shortly.
If you think the You Tube audience they can look at the length and title of the film, which one they want to see. Tv. wants 30 sec, trailer is over 2 minutes (is there a requirement, I don't know).
Is there a funding for WAM from Energia? A liltle tv spot costs a lot not to mention a Film trailer.

Really like the "Before we could take over the galaxy we had to take over the internet." idea and having Pirk involved. Would make for some really cool wreckommercials (we have a production for that as well).
Boils down to what was discussed earlier, doesn't make sense to try to address everything with just one vid, we need several to address different needs.

Peter asked to write something:
I think it's a bit too long. The presentation of some of the movie could be a shorter. It could be shortened to 3 min without losing any information.
PS:There is nothing from 2pi.
