Here's a cool SF short film uploaded to vimeo that hearkens back to the feel of classic SF movies such as Alien and Bladerunner - it captures the feel of that cinematic era spectacularly well:

It's worth noting that the use of CGI is minimal - most of the spaceships are scale models. As one reviewer notes:

The cinematography manages to convey the visual tone of big budget panavision shot movies of the 70's and 80's - and it does it without drawing attention to itself plus it avoids the current trend of overly processed pin-sharp HD that Hollywood seems to insist on nowadays.

Apparently the director wants to expand this into a full-length feature film if he can raise the money. This short film is merely a taste (hence the cliffhanger ending).

Personally, I'd love to see what this guy could do with something like Blake's 7
