Intro movie

The intro movie shown at the beginning of Startopia is a spoof on 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Trek.

It shows an ape in a desert landscape and its encounter with a tall, black obelisk. The ape investigates the obelisk and accidentally activates it, causing it to replicate a donut. The ape takes a bite of the donut then throws it into the sky and beyond. The donut shape then morphs into the space station that becomes the setting for the game.
