In the latest VFX breakdown from Spine VFX for the sci-fi series The Expanse, based on the book series of the same name by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, things are visually banging – with intergalactic explosive force. The Amazon Prime series takes you into a speculative 24th century in which a dysfunctional group of people must avert a threat that threatens the entire solar system.

No material for a relaxed Sunday afternoon stroll on the beach.
