This was probably rendered on a modern laptop.

After finding this website, I would say you are correct.

There is also a "Step by Step into a Black Hole" of similar images as the video in TFA. Worth looking at if this is an interest.

I also found a cool animation of a simulated "Flight through a Wormhole".

It all just seems basic animation. Cool, but nothing really ground breaking.

I imagine that the models used to base the animation on could have taken some resources.

P.S. I would hope the comment you replied to was a failed attempt at humour. Surely he was jesting!

The animation at the end of this page explains it visually.

OK, read the article.

The Through the city at the speed of light demo is all very lens-effect-y, but there's no account of colour-shift. As you get faster the approaching wavelengths will shorten (Blue Shift) until you get fast enough that all (normally) visible light shifts up and out of our acuity.

Everything you'd see would be sub-infrared shifted into your spectrum, and this doesn't seem to take that into account.

It's in the this explanation. There's a diagram at the bottom which explains it much better than I can in words.
