16:9, ultra-realistic cinematic sci-fi, physically believable, immense scale, no dialogue. An interceptor races low across the surface of a dead planet covered in colossal mechanical structures. Suddenly the entire planet begins awakening. Mountain-sized engine rings rise from beneath the crust. Oceans of molten energy surge through gigantic channels. Continental plates rotate like gears. The interceptor dives through collapsing machinery while skyscraper-sized pistons slam together behind it. The horizon suddenly bends as the entire planet starts accelerating through space. Camera ends pulling back to reveal the whole world is actually a gigantic engine leaving a glowing trail across the galaxy.
