“I think this short film is really good, as the Rosetta mission is very relevant right now, and because it gives us an idea of what we could potentially learn from landing on this comet. Aidan Gillen and Aisling Franciosi both play very well and give a depth and mystique to the characters, even though we only know them very briefly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe special effects in Ambition are awesomely well made, and even though we donu0026#39;t have very much of an idea about whatu0026#39;s going on most of the time, it doesnu0026#39;t matter, because it keeps your attention and gets its point through. The effects are classic within Science Fiction movies and look extremely real. The music is also very intriguing and I could listen to it for many hours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis short film also teaches you about the mission in itself and what ESAu0026#39;s goals are with it, because Ambition takes place in the future, where the Rosetta mission has been the beginning of that society and our ability to colonize other places of the galaxy. This short film is all about the significance of water for our survival, and how, since comets are made up of ice and dust, we might be able to extract water from them, and therefore find another source of water, if we were to colonize other planets.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s very interesting, and I would strongly recommend it. It only takes 5 minutes, after all…”
