Very impressive.

Not quite as I pictured it (really not into the spacesuits, but it's easier to animate if you don't have see through helmets), but still very interesting.

It sounds like Watts was really into it, and helped guide some of the design process. But yeah, any adaptation will have differences between creator and adaptor.

My brain's production designer didn't succumb to the poorly lit spaceship trope.

If the ship's powerplant has enough power to boil a small ocean, it sure can power a couple nice LED bulbs.
