I’m fascinated by the cinematography of this video.

The photographic quality has elements of 2001: A Space Odyssey and perhaps a little Exorcist thrown in for good measure.

The shot of the Earth, Moon, and Sun (at 0:59) is almost undoubtedly inspired by a [similar shot from 2001](http://www.2001aspaceodyssey.org/BigImages/Sun_Earth_Moon.jpg).

The set reminds me of the “Planet Hell” set which was regularly used in Star Trek: The Next Generation – particularly in the episode “[Skin of Evil](http://tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/1x23/skinofevil_hd_386.jpg).”
