Theme

This week’s theme is Retro Sci-Fi!
Specifically any science fiction from the 40’s - 60’s. It’s all about clunky robots, giant computers with dials, ray guns, and all the other old cheesy sci-fi tropes you can think of :)
There’s a bonus point if the image matches the media of that era, for example by including cheap effects, obvious costumes, blurry film or anything else you can think of.

Prompt for post image:

a 50s cinemascope movie still of a clunky robot with an blinking lights on it's chest, in a fake looking space ship, a pilot is flying the ship, scene is shot with 8mm film --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
The image turned out better than how I intended :)

8mm film in a cinemascope movie?

I’m no film expert, I just juggle the different variables until I get a result I like :)
That being said, including Cinemascope and 8- or 16mm does give the kind of effect to make it look more realistic for this challenge (in Midjourney anyway)

It doesn’t need to make sense to push the image generator in the right direction.
