Brand, now stranded on a foreign planet, is left with nothing. Almost having to reinvent to stay alive.

Both meetings before the mission.

Grouped men observing/conversing about the planet.

Brand & Men are both standing above a lit up controlled environment then walk down to it.

A simple comparison with the astronauts lined up inspecting/exploring a strange object/environment.

Light touching the faces of our main character while they’re flying their ships.

Astronauts lined up.

Our spaceships with a planet in the background.

Being in space requires interesting gravity shots. 2001 is a bit more elegant while Interstellar doesn’t waste anytime; straight to business.

Our ships in the black of space.

Our quite opposite robots from each film.

The Wormholes.

Interacting with our strange new environments at the end of each film.

Interacting with our strange new objects at the end of each film.

Another comparison of Brand to the Apes. This time, funnily, they even have similar environments. Trying to survive.

Interacting with our strange objects.

Interacting through video screens.
