The group from Staffordshire University, known as Team Hourglass, created the 3D lego animation as part of an academic project that spanned "12 weeks, representing approx 1000 hours work".
The same team had previously created a Lego-based homage to the Matrix, although it failed to reach the viral heights of their take on Inception, which has racked up over 100k views in 5 days.
