What it certainly wouldn't be is Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke's epic, ponderous 2001: A Space Odyssey.

We simply can't believe how well this edit from Brandon C. Long works. The music's perfect, the non-nonsense astronauts now sound like hipster dorks, and even the special effects look like they're stop motion toys.

Nice work, and a reminder that Anderson can be surprisingly versatile.
