The Inner Life of a Cell
(shorter preview trailer, no dialogue)

Detailed 3D animation of a leucocyte's daily grind. Lots of sciency moon-language, but you don't need to know what is said to find it awesome.

For me, it was a total blast; I mean, I've heard about the endoplasmic reticulum and the lipid bi-layer of cells, but to actually see it as fluid, individual molecules? Seeing mRNA being decoded right in front of your eyes? Motor proteins transporting vesicles? Awesomesauce.

[edit:
Less impressive YouTube version, in case you can't see the above links:

I'm an ignorant 14-year-old in high school who only knows what a few of the organelles and proteins even are, but I found it interesting, whatever was happening.
