One of my favorite movies with one of the most remembered spaceship designs from my childhood, yes, the use of Christmas lights and spotlights that appear meaninglessly at the end of the landing always caught my attention, I tried to give it a focus more modern to the landing including my 3D…

I would not have landed there is I was them……
Excellent work, it's always bugged me that the landing sequence seemed rushed, the cgi blended well.
a very realistic scene it will happen in the near future, a spaceship landing on Alpha Centauri !
ALWAYS WONDERED IF THAT SHRILL SCREAM TYPE NOISE WAS ONE OF THE XENOS AS THEY'RE COMING IN TO LAND ❤
I have to say the same as others on this, I really don’t think this can be surpassed by anything ! For me this is definitely the best sci fi movie ever made and I think that will stand forever. It simply is a combination of factors that are spot on. The trailer and its originality, the suspense, the sets, production and genuine fear with the actors. Nothing else comes close.
No C.G.I.!..NEAT!
Nostromo is not capable of landing on any planet.
Nostromo is the spacecraft which tows stuff.
What landed on LV426 was…. a landing craft.
DUH.

OH MY! I am going to edit my version of Alien and slice this into it. Mind blowing work!
Это лучшее
I love how your parts work very well with the original sequence. The hard science fiction elements are tight and grounded. The horror aspects are built around that.
Doesn't feel outdated at all. Phenomenal film.
Still holds up today. Unbelievable. Now compare it to the latest MCU woke garbage…
4:18 That's what happens when you land a rock! lol!
Are you trying to pass this off as a renewal by throwing in some cheap CGI? Don’t you think that’s disrespectful to the original?
Well done

A few friends and I watched the sneak preview in 79 at the Heights theater in Dallas, not knowing it was going to screen. Scared the shit out of us. People were running for the exit when the chest burster came out. One of many events in my life that defines me.
I saw it in 1978. In 1979 Sigorney became my lover.
Each additional 'Alien' movie is weaker and makes this one seem even better.
Call me old fashioned. But to me this landing scene looks so much more realistic and thrilling than all the smooth-speedy-tensionless-CGI-crap with over-cool relaxing crew we get these days. I don't want everything going on as planned. I want the adventure, the struggle, the dirt and the unknown being allowed to happen. I don't need to have 1000 cuts for one scene in 3 seconds. I wanna have time to dive in, time to let the feeling grow, to emerge into the happening. I don't want to have a crew of fashion models, I'm interested in real characters that I probably could meet anywhere. Please Holywood: Find your courage and your way back to real story telling 🙏
Instead of making more and better sci fi movies, we have gone in reverse gear. Sad situation
The best sci-fi movie of all-time 🙌
Great work but the original has still the deeper atmosphere
I like it very much.
A few notes.
Black levels need to look a little worse to match original film's limited dynamic range. (or at least the quality of the footage you are using).
yours look very sharp and clean. Has a little too much "edge" to it.
Way too much horizontal descent and movement of ship exterior shots doesn't have that vertical "feel" to it that you see on the original film's monitors and graphs of the moon's landscape. It doesn't cut together really.
Color timing of final exterior shots has a little too harsh "white light" feel to it and doesn't feel like the blue – green – ish subdued light of the original film.
I think you re-animated the landing gear first sitting on top of a rock and then the weight of the Nostromo crushes the rock sending the ship on a sudden fall before it hits the ground.
Nice touch. It explains the sudden jolt in the cockpit before the fire outbreak much better.
But great job. Like it a lot :-)))))
Great work with the enhanced external shots. Thanks ! As well as being the finest sci fi horror film ever made, this classic revived Veronica Cartwright's career. She had previously been one of the best, busiest and most popular child actresses of the 60s after getting started in the late 50s. She was no stranger to the horror genre, having been cast in Alfred Hitchcock's immortal The Birds when she was just a kid.
I was 11 years old when this movie released. I remember the trailers on TV. Scared the crap out me.
In 1979, the entire landing pressed me into the movie theater seat. And after that, this additional gravity didn't let go of me until the end of the movie.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Alien el octavo pasajero replanteo la manera de hacerte reír y suspenso Aportó un nuevo género alcibe de ficción: (Espacio sucio)
Я смотрел и продолжаю смотреть этот шедевр, не то что сейчас снимпют фильмы, чисто для сборов….
Now thats a ship
Great edit. I bet if they were to do a remake of this, this is EXACTLY what it would look like.
Never seen Alien 1979 in that amazing quality WOW
By my, for many reasons, one of the best SF movies ever if not the best.
That was sexy as f**k. I got chills and shed a little tear watching the craft land. Always loved this sequence since I watched it on a recorded VHS back in 1986/87.
: Well done, sir.
