Sci-Fi Short Film: 'The Looking Planet' | DUST

During the construction of the universe, a young spacetime engineer dreams of doing something more than his menial job of planetary ring construction, so he sets out on his own, breaking some fundamental laws in the name of self-expression -- and discovering there is more going on behind the scenes of this new universe than anyone imagined.

I’ve watched so many of these on Dust, but this one really stuck with me. Not only because it shows how lucky we are to live on this beautiful blue marble full of life in a cold, dead universe, but it also reminds me that if we united as a species, we could become Type 3 civilization and actually master the galaxy. There should be a sense of urgency to become interplanetary species before we’re wiped out by a Great Filter. Unfortunately, too many of us are still tribal people, ignorant of the big picture.

Interestingly Zulu mythology about the moon says it was rolled here by two brothers hundreds of generations ago.

Don't have to have villains and violence to make a good film like this one is.

[AnnavelleLoc]

Having the “one small step…” recording for the first stepping out of the water is an amazing scene

[JVIPER]

This was an amazing short film!

I'm just gonna say though... the Earth-Moon system is not a double planet system. The center of mass between the two objects sits within the Earth's mantle.

Best watched with a glass of wine, brilliant, mesmerising, humbling.

I like the subtle nod to A Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy book by saying Earth was in phase 42. 42 being the Meaning Of Life

Im so proud of Humanity and at the same time absolutely horrified by it. We have done so much in such a short time, alas we still have much to learn.
