Very cool! Knowing nothing about the complexities of 3D animation, this looks great to me, including your background, textures and lighting. Next step: sound.
After that: Pixar!

A good effort, though I wish the background treatment didn't compete with the journal texture and look so flat.

Ahhhhh author,maybe this will happened but is it possible that all flaming meteors will hit Americas (South and North)...just joke...i say that only because in every Sci-Fi movie meteors,aliens, volcanoes and other disasters hits America...

A lot more stars in the sky would help this image, since there are billions of them. The few you have are hardly visible at all...
Technically, of course, there would be no smoke trails, since there is no atmosphere in space, but you've created a very dynamic scene!

I find this artistique, cause of the Square format in which you see other rectangular patterns of different proportions and all having a relation with the other elements around. There was an artist using mate colors and this principle- his name escapes me know.
D'apres moi this shot makes sense beyond the urban decay theme, because of what i previously stated and it would make sense even if it was an abstract drawing.

look at his global illumination settings, this will definitely reduce your render time and still give good results.

I'm sorry to, just trying to be honest, you have so many wonderful photos that I love, so don't feel insulted. It was only my opinion, and there are lots of great paintings I don't like or understand either.

i don't think the why of the photo is all that important. i love shots of urban decay, and even though this isn't a full on "decay" it does show alot of age. i like the color tones you chose to go with.. and most of all, i find the conduit paths to be really quite pleasing to the eye. it makes you follow it around the entire image.

after the contest, for future processing where photoshop filters and stuff are allowed, i'd consider doing a dramatic vignette and some heavy contrast on it. it would give it a really creepy feel.
