OTOY has recreated scenes recapturing 2001 a Space Odyssey.
They are doing next level rendering.

And computer technology is only going to get better in the future:
“Scientists say they have cracked a decade-old problem that could bring the concept of a “quantum hard drive” closer to reality.
The solution involved developing a new type of error-correction system for stabilizing qubits — the building blocks of quantum information — against interference, overcoming a major hurdle facing the development of practical quantum computers.”

Octane (by Octoy) is a pretty good render engine. Not so long ago, most rendering was done with CPU. Today’s GPUs are just so much faster, not to mention the introduction of hardware-supported real-time ray tracing by the RTX series.
