Must be the camera angle. The guy who did it made the Animatrix short with the track runner. Then spent seven years making Redline.
If I recall correctly, the Aeon Flux creator also made a short for it; the one with the girl collecting samples on the surface.

It's already the same width as an S5, but look at the weight.

If BBRY had matched the height, thereby increasing screen ratio to something sensible, like 4:3 (albeit the wrong loving way), it would probably be a good 2.5 ounces heavier.
