"Azarkant" (2013) - Written and Directed by Andrey Klimov. In a future, a team of astronauts are sent on a ten year journey to a distant planet to find new life. On their way, they encounter a large, abandoned spaceship that is drifting in the orbit of a mysterious planet. Superb 3D animation and all done by one guy in Russia! There are elements that are taken by other Sci-fi movies and/or even games (i.e. Alien, Terminator, Halo, etc.) but still a great short. Enjoy!

Where'd the gravity come from? The ship didn't appear to be rotating.

You sound like Colonel Worf in ST6. Perhaps they have magnetic boots, too.

Maybe the Director/Writer did not pay much attention to his Advanced Physics professor during class in a cold winter night somewhere in Northern Siberia where not even the Yeti dares to take a poop break.

I always have a hard time with the idea of people
who can make their own gravity, yet seem to still
need to wield projectile launching hand weapons.
This is the sort of stuff at the core of lazy SF.
And if you're doing animation, you can't even plead
SFX costs.
