Storyline

The story of one of the most important space exploration endeavours of this decade. Just as Gillen's enigmatic Master encourages Franciosi's Apprentice to seek out the key to life amidst a rugged alien landscape, ESA has been on a decade-long ambitious journey of its own, to unlock the mysteries of a comet and the origins of our Solar System with its Rosetta spacecraft, hundreds of millions of kilometres from Earth. Ambition complements the ongoing communication about Rosetta and adds a "human dimension" to the scientific and technological achievements of the mission, which include curiosity, drive and ambition.

Trivia

When the Master starts telling the Rosetta mission story, he begins with the common phrase "Once upon a time..." before being interrupted by the Apprentice. This is a continuity nod to a series of short animated cartoon released by ESA in the previous months via its official Youtube channel, all of them narrating the events of the Rosetta probe (and his lander Philae) as it were a traditional fable, and all of them theme-titled as "Once upon a time".

Short movie about the upcoming Rosetta mission left me wanting more!
28 October 2014 | by (Los Angeles) – See all my reviews

This is a beautifully produced short film to draw attention to the Rosetta mission that's sent a probe to a comet in order to determine if it contains water, and which then could explain how water ended up on earth.

Aidan Gillen from Game of Thrones is believable and brings presence to his role of 'Master', teaching a young girl the art of planet building, perhaps? That's not really explained. But it doesn't really matter for the purposes of this short film.

The effects are top notch and I'd happily watch a full length movie that expanded on the story and characters.
