This is The Leviathan. It’s probably the best way you can spend four minutes of your time, at least for today.
It’s by Ruairí Robinson (director of The Last Days on Mars), and is a pitch/proof of concept. One that shows, yes, the world might be ready for Moby Sky Dick.
Fingers crossed this gets turned into a movie! Or comic book! Or, even, a video game.

I’m reminded of Aliens in a way, not sure why.
