Alien Nostromo Landing on LV 426

- 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 model in the landing shots in this sequence of the film, I do not detract from the incredible work of models that they did at the time without a doubt of very high quality.

I saw it in '79 at age 11 with my father. It was my first R rated movie. Amazing production design.
My dad died yesterday. Rest in peace, dad...😢
He seemed to be a very nice man. Taking your 11 year old son to an R rated is something that doesn't exist anymore.
My dad passed away exactly 6 years ago, I still miss him very much
He comes in the dreams
I share your pain
Take care
My condolences. 🙏
My deepest condolences, friend. He lives on in you 🙏🏻👼

This movie is about 40 years old. But why, it seems to be more realistic than today’s full CG space movies.
Because this is a cgi reworked version.
@@dcolb121 no way
The guy who uploaded this spiced the original. Awesome 😎
It is about 45 years old, not 40.

I'm a die hard fan of the original, and I loved this. This really adds to the scene. We never really get a decent feel for the shape of the ship. I suppose it was never about beauty shots of the ship, keeping us disoriented, but I love seeing it here like this. Really well done.
Nothing beautiful about the ship. It was a workship. Similiar to a garbage scow..Notice the dining room scene where there is food, cups, trash, and flotsam all over. Not the USS Enterprise, more like some Polish freighter hauling scrap Iron to Nigeria
This movie still rocks today after 45 years
This isn't the original special effects though.
Когда впервые смотрел "Чужой" в детстве (1987 году) кирпичи откладывал. Потом ночью заснуть не мог. Все было круто - сюжет, спецэффекты, визуальная часть, музыка.
Спасибо Р.Скотту за фильм, Х.Гигеру за ксеноморфа, Д.Голдсмиту за музыку.
Вы еще легко отделались. Я после просмотра фильма лет 15 еще потом при каждом посещении туалета, заглядывал в унитаз, проверяя все ли норм?!😟
И Горбачеву за то что бы ты смог посмотреть этот фильм . Правда страну разнес , словно "Чужой".
И мне ,-за поддержку коммента!
Beautiful work. Almost seems like this was what I watched 40 years ago.
Amazing!
Never thought I'd be able to accept a CGI Nostromo but you've done an outstanding job here. 👏👏👏
That was such an amazing classic movie. Everything about it was incredible The graphics on the computer monitor wasn't what would likely be seen today, but it was still jaw-dropping at the time. The cast was top notch. It's got to be one of the best movies made. Even seeing it now, it's still filled with almost non-stop tension, jump scares and excitement.
I think the effects hold up nicely, including the computer graphics. They represented the state of the art in 1978, but who's to say that things would not come full-circle, and graphic displays are once again simplified? After all, "glass cockpits" in today's fighter jets merely mimic their analog forebears. Just sayin'.
@@spudeleven5124 it was meant to be a B grade monster flick cashing in in Star Wars success but turned into a top tier production. .
Saw it in theaters on opening weekend 1979. I was 12 years old and it was the first “R” rated movie I’d ever seen. Dad took me to see it. I’ve been a fan of the series ever since. RIP pop..
Im reporting your dad to the authorities
I didn't see it until 1981! I got really stoned before going inside! It blew my mind!!
I took my girlfriend and by the end of it I had a badly bruised upper arm! Of course I comforted her afterward!
I was 17 and took a date to see it.
I loved the movie.
Amen, I saw it to when it opened. It changed everything.
This was what I've been wanting most of my life. More external shots of the Nostromo in LV426.
This was more than I could hope.
Utterly fascinating and greatly adds to the sequence for a long time Alien obsessive.
Me and you both buddy lol😊
I like this too; yet there is something about the sparseness of the effects in the original which gives it so much authenticity. That is, unlike movies today, SFX were a part of the story and they helped to move the narrative along, but were NOT the main reason to see the picture.
@@spudeleven5124 know what you mean.
I just liked the added detail this gives.
Watched this movie last year with a Bose sound bar and new flat screen. My God it still holds up! One of my top ten movies to this day.
and what are the other 9?
Bose soundbar 😂. That's the Prius of sound systems. You need the full meat and gravey driver units and AV amp for this film.
Prius is the extent I want to go.
The reason why this movie is the best and i love Aliens is the fact youve no idea what they are going down to find. The tension this film gives throughout the movie is non stop, to the facehugger to the chestburst. As soon as that happens your on the edge with tensions nerves just like the characters.
Then the plot twist and i wont go into spoilers but its one of the best horror movies ever.
My grandmother started taking me to do things when we moved to Denver. I was 10, she thought I might like this as I was a sci-fi space nerd. Loved this movie!
Thanks nana, good call! Within a year, she was taking me to see LaserRock: Rush at the planetarium. Seriously...awesome!
What they got RIGHT was that since space is vacuum, you don't constantly run the engines like you hear in star wars and other space movies. This was done with sets, scale models and practical effects and for the 1970s was simple amazing
Some of the best Goldsmith music to this scene.
Possibly the best sci-fi movie ever made. Nothing comes close to it today.
Not in the likes of "2001: A space odyssey", "Duna" or "Blade Runner", but "Alien" deserves to be in the top 10 for sure.
@@paulocarvalho7877 a matter of taste. I think it's in that club.
Aliens....beat it
Totally different movies. Aliens was very good but don't even go there.
2001, Blade Runner, Alien, Forbidden Planet, Silent Running, Solaris... all up there. I'd even include The Black Hole and the first Star Trek movie, superb!
Ridley Scott - really lifted the game in the sci-fi genre. And pretty much anything else he directed.
Saw it at the drive-in with friends, my mouth hanging open for the 1st half hour.
It is my understanding that when the production team started they sought out engineers from NASA to help. They asked the NASA engineers what a space freighter and its planetary landing craft might look like in the year 2122 and came up with the craft. Hats off to the Alien production team for going that far to create what seems so very real 143 years ahead of 1979.
Especially the florescent light bulbs. Very advanced....
CRT screens look very current to 1979.
As a teen, a friend who had contacts got the pair of us tickets to a preview screening of the full movie. Some others who attended were adults who turned up with their kids with them, thinking it was another ET. And then the chest burster happened, and they were scurrying out. Good times.
@@mrmoss149 LEDs in protective housings look remarkably similar today, I find. Nice work, I wish I had such ability.
Great comment
Jerry Goldsmith's score is fabulous and is a vital element of both the scene and the general movie.
Agreed. Jerry Goldsmith is one of the best film score composers Hollywood has ever found. Right up on the top tier with John Williams, in my opinion. His work for Alien was outstanding for tension, drama and mood. Interesting that some music included in the film was actually composed for an earlier film called “Freud” also composed by Goldsmith, but about which inclusion he was not happy.
I remember my jaw dropping in the cinema. This landing sequence was so impressive at the time. Real gritty SF. Thanks for adding to the experience. I loved it.
It was kind of fake and a little bit gay as well
@@Jiimys187 It's special effects of one kind or another, so of course it's fake. Don't get the gay bit though.
@@Geffo555 are you gay?
@@Jiimys187 No. Sorry to disappoint. But hey, it's 2024. Each to their own eh.
So tell me, what's eating you?
@@Geffo555 For the Night is Dark and Full of Terrors
Probably the best movie of all time
There no such thing….
@@rgs6236 sorry sir it’s my opinion you have yours
Personally, I'd say it all depends on specific genres, as each category will have its own classics. For my money though, Alien and John Carpenter's The Thing are the two finest examples of horror ever created, while Blade Runner is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest fantasy sci-fi film that I've ever watched, bar none. It's all in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
@peterwebster6955 he's right,each to their own, some like Horror, war, crime, musicals, westerns etc but as you say, we are all allowed an opinion though in this day & age alot of people think your not unless it fits a narrative
@@Turrican60All your pics are great not a poor film in any.
Seen this move on opening week 1979,
It's stay with me all my life.
Thank you for adding to the movie. It doesn't distract at all from an already perfect film, ❤
Sigourney Weavers panties!
Oh my God. This is just gorgeous. You really enhanced an already established work of art. I need this added to a special edition.
I was 13 years old in 1979 and I went to the theater to see it with my cousin. It was the first R-rated movie either of us had ever been to and we were by ourselves.
It’s cause of films like this that when I play VR alien stuff it really hits hard.
I'm a die-hard fan of the original and remember seeing it on release back in 1979. I've watched it many times since throughout all its special editions but this was what I wish might have been. Congratulations on a brilliant job! I'm sure all of us aficionados who sit there gazing at their replica Nostromos will look at it in a new light after seeing this. Thank you for your considerable effort.
Finally I see straight lights
The suspense watching this on VHS back in the day
This is just gorgeous!
I love how the final descent conjures the landing of Prometheus.
Top-drawer work, sir!
Very well done. But I still love the originals shot of the Nostromo and refinery entering stationary orbit for LV-426 from afar. It’s just so beautiful and ominous.
0:04 All the planets' crescents are facing the same direction. Take that, _Star_ _Wars._ 😄
LOL
Amazing work ! For the space part, i still prefer the movie version (i feel it's more moody, slow and darker but it's my personal taste too !), but you 100% nailed the atmospheric part, i really like what you did there !
Wow, this is FANTASTIC! Never thought that the 40 yrs. old movie would make my heart skip the beat here.
Excellent job on this CGI update!
I remember seeing this for the first time, and noticing that @03:01 Ash is saying the reading is Dropping, when the numbers are actually Climbing. It was one of the first reasons given to not trust his character.
IT DOESENT NEED ANY MODERN STUPID CGI !!!! THE ORIGINAL IS THE BEST VERSION !!!!
Good one. I'm sure it was just dialog but still fun to note.
Somebody was creative in this fine adaptation. I even liked, no, even loved the CGI showing the loss of one of nostromo's shields. And the hydraulics- a CGI masterpiece. And the moon & planetary surfaces, excellent. One thing was missing however, the terrain on LV426 didn't look like bones. That was It's only set back.
None of this is CGI (not in the modern sense, the displays in the ship use basic graphics), it's 'Visual effects' incorporating model work, matte paintings, scaled down weather effects scenes and composites of the above.
This was all possible because of the physical skill of the craftsmen involved and the editing team.
@@domedwards5256 This version has added CGI. And the displays on screen in the original elements were not basic graphics in 78 either, they were custom built animations by noted graphic effects designer Bernard Lodge.
this movie was actually ahead of its time
I saw this when it came out in 79 at the Charles in Boston.
Old school 2 level theater with the side opera seats.
Perfect for it.
I'll never forget the audience as they exited when it was over.
Nobody was saying a fucking word.
Everyone was completely stunned, in shock, by what they just witnessed.
Ridley Scott's finest work for my money..
I love this, it feels a lot more like an actual spacecraft entering orbit, atmosphere and landing, but most importantly, the exact entirety of Nostromo. I always got confused by its scale, and just what part of the whole thing is Nostromo exactly, the interior seems both claustrophobic and gigantic at the same time. 1:52 Now I know it all happened on that ship.
Very impressive Marcelo! To those of us who savor this film, you really gave it the glory it deserves!
Saw this film 45 years ago and I lost count at how many times I have watched this film since then and it's an embarrassing number I assure you. Yet it's just as awesome today as it was for me 45 years ago. And there's nothing that comes close in my humble opinion. I recently introduced to a friend who had never seen it before and we go back and forth about it. having discussions that go on fours hours before, during and after the film. If there's a such thing as after, we might pause the film and discuss for hours a scene. The film study can go on and on. I mean fascinating like I'm seeing it for the first time SMH. I know that's crazy but
I agree with you. And I too have watched the film many, many times along with all related "making of" docos and all the literature including its origins with dark Star and Jodorowsky's Dune.. Alien is a unique work and gets better with age.
I remember my first thought when I saw 'Alien' was the opening sequence. It felt that scene was foreshadowing as the camera was tracking through the Nostromo. I said to myself death had entered the ship to awaken them and they were doomed the moment 'Mother' woke them up. From that moment on they had no control over their fate because at some point even the ship itself appeared to be against them. This crossed my thoughts in the scene where Parker, Brett and Ripley are looking for the a small Xeno. At the beginning of their search the lights flicker and one of them comment, "I thought you fixed that..." It occurred to me that the creature had already integrated the ships system not to mention it could take on the shape of its environment. It had adapted itself to the 'Nostromo' in under 24 hours. Imagine the psychological doom one would feel in a crisis like that? The ship they called home is now conspiring in their fate. They are now trapped in this mysterious Labyrinth. This film digs into the core of human experience in fear. It's an exercise in pure terror which is different from horror. This creature attacks your nervous badly 😂😂😂 and they had so very little time to even ponder that aspect of their experience. It was happening too fast.
Excellent ! ! !
Ces images devraient intégrer le film original car elle sont fabuleuses ! ! Magnifique ! Splendide !
De plus elles ne dénaturent pas le film. Au contraire, elles apportent un plus phénoménale.
Bravo !
Alien is like Drum and bass ..... Timeless.
Bravo! Still one of my top 10 films after all this time. Thank you for creating this! 😎👍☮
WELL DONE! Alien is my all-time favourite and I'm very leery about anyone messing with it, but you got all the technical details right and the blue hue of the planet fitted with the on-the ground scenes. The landing leg hitting the rock was the only detraction, it looked a bit cartoonish, and I would have liked to have seen a more Giger-inspired landscape, but I'm nitpicking, I loved this updating of the landing scene. Thanks for taking the trouble it must have been a lot of work.
This looks beautiful. It's wild that everything about this movie was ominous, even the descent to the planet's surface.
I saw it when it was released in the cinema (in 1979 from memory). For me, it is the best of the saga but that is only my personal opinion. Thank you for sharing. / Je l'avais vue lors de sa sortie au cinéma (en 1979 de mémoire). Pour moi, c’est le meilleur de la saga mais cela n’engage que mon avis personnel. Merci pour votre partage.
The original looked incredible even by today's standards. But, this one is as good-perhaps in some areas even more so-as the original. I loved the extra details that you don't see on the original since making things obscure would hide the "model look" of the props. (0:03) The planetoid system looks more beautiful and you get to see a more realistic atmosphere (0:40, 2:04), even lighting strikes (1:43). I love the extra details on the functionality of the Nostromo (2:25, 2:40, 3:15, 3:22, 3:37). (2:15) I loved the shot of the entire Nostromo flying through the atmosphere rather than just closeups. Amazing work!
wow, thank you very much for your comments, as I had put in the description my motivation was to pay tribute, I am very clear that the use of models and inclusion of 3D elements is the perfect combination, in my case I only have a computer, but I am happy I would work with models if I had the means to do so.
I'm impressed how seamlessly your 3D animated scenes fit into the live-action ones. Well done.
That was nicely done. Ron Cobb would have been proud.
Beautiful work, Marcelo! I can tell that you have much respect for the source material. I was a teenager when this film premiered, and it has long been one of my faves. The landing sequence in the original transported me, and you have done a wonderful job of "enhancing" it here. Bravo, sir!
The music is nice and that tridimensional plug on the Wow Signal, also popularized through the mythical Joy Division album, is simply irresistible. ❤
I remember seeing that album cover (a bit after this came out, I think my older brother got it for Christmas that year) and thinking they had taken it from this movie. In 1979 we didn't have the Internet to tell us these things.
No CGI kids. Just pure art. Still looks good today.
Some of these shots were CGI, especially with the landing legs crushing the rock. In the original it was much slower and one of the toes of the landing leg bent upwards, it didnt destroy the rock. This was a pretty damn good fan made remake of some of the ship shots, keeping true to the style of the original esthetic, but this wasnt all original footage.
@@Bennyboy087THERE WHERE NOO CGI IN THE ORIGINAL MOVIE !!!!! ONLY PAINTINGS AND MODELS !!!!
@@bengtwahlstedt1021 He was talking about this video on you tube you numpty with caps on!
@@bengtwahlstedt1021 True, but this isn't the original movie, it's original movie footage spliced with new fan made visual FX of the Nostromo landing.
This isn't the original scene. Its a fan-made CGI enhanced version:)
This is an extended edition. Thank you.
No. It isn't. It's someone's personal project.
Dude, the poster literally notes that they added the "new" shots.
I was 19 when I watched this on a London trip with mates, we still talk about this now. Way ahead of it's time and clashed with Star Wars but they both hold strong to this day! Look at the fantastic Games and follow up movies these two movies gave birth too! The world is going to shit so I'll keep going to the movies! Peace.
This is one of the few sci-fi movies or programs where the main thrusters aren't always firing. There is the short burn to move them away from the platform, then the landing thrusters during decent. It's one of the few real sci-fi movies out there.
I remember this film. I went to see it at night at a nearby movie theater that had once been a large auditorium with a large stage and a balcony - really nice place. This film TERRIFIED ME. As I was walking home, I kept jumping at noises in the shadows.
EDIT: it appears that some new 'footage' has been added.
If only they made movies liked this any more.
Dude, this is AMAZING! Like WOW. You should do more of these!
When the landing gear came down I said SWEET 😮 can’t wait till it comes out again in a few months on the big screen
Just... decades ahead of its time, superb!!!!
I have to admit, I like this version a lot.
At first I thought, hey I don’t recall these external shots, then I checked the comments and clicked on ‘more’. Very nicely done sir and the editing between what you added and the original…spot on, I think Ridley would approve. 👍👏
God bless Ridley for paying attention to landings. The Prometheus landing was spectacular, but with less screen time than the Nostromo’s.
Wow, one of the few times a 3D enhanced recreation pairs almost PERFECTLY with scenes from the original film...very impressive, my friend!!!
Still remember watching this on home video as a kid. Great work as always. Hope to see more from the Aliens Universe.
This is so good man. It's genuinely hard to improve on the original visuals considering the film stock and compositing they were using, but I think all of this could be slipped in to someone's video library and I don't think they'd mind at all. If they didn't know what they were looking for they probably wouldn't know the difference.
Also one of my favorite movies. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
Смотрел этот фильм когда был маленьким (не помню, сколько лет). Было это в пионерском лагере, в Советском Союзе. Это было круто 👍
This is great! The way you have seamlessly integrated your new visuals with the original film is impressive!
*I want to go back and live it all over again. The 70’s and 80’s were the best years of my life. We had the best music that had meaning and the best TV shows and special back then and lived in the last of the best decades in America..it was the party of a life time and we lived it well. We had great shows like, Falcon Crest, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty,The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, ALF, The Six Million dollar man, The Dukes of Hazard, BJ and the Bear, Air Wolf, Battle Star Galactica! Knight Rider *and for the first time ever the motion pictures of, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Spider Man, Close Encounters of the third kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Aliens, (No not the ones being aloud to just walk into our country right now in 2024), Predator and many more*… We also celebrated the bicentennial in the 70’s when the entire country celebrated it from Apr 1, 1975 - Jul 4, 1976. It was like the 4th of July every day. It was fantastic!.…it was such a better time to be alive in this county. We never had the problems that are here today. It was unheard of for kids being shot and men walking around dressed as women. It was the best years of my life, It was the last of America and we were lucky to have experienced it.*
I saw this movie for first time in 1990 ,I was 8 years old.
Yea me too. Such a classic
You were as traumatised as me then 😂😂.
11 in 1982, and right after ET the extraterrestrial. And traumatised!
I saw it in theatres when it was released in 1979, I was 20. Spooked the hell out of me. Few movies did that to me. Another was 1982's The Thing.
I bet you sh1t your underwear
Excellent job! Thank you fot fixing this. Now, if you can do something about the explosion at the end, this will truly be a perfect film.
Looks amazing. It also stresses one thing from the Alien novelization, that's not included in the film. Parker did not want to land on LV-426 because the Nostromo was not build to land in uncertain terrain and the poisonous athmosphere could damage the engine. And that's exactly what happened.
Parker knew his stuff. I like to think his spirit is out there somewhere and it earned a bonus and got to go home to so he could party!
@@BrucknerMotet Right.
This is a jaw dropping fan made movie ! 6 points on 5 ! !
One of the best if not the best space sci fi movie ever made , then destroyed it with cheesy sequels
Except that Aliens was also excellent.
That was ri-goddamn-diculous. Hats off!!
Best cgi Nostromo i have seen it took me a while to realize it wasn't just the film well done. I heard in a doc that they wanted the chrismas lights to be straight as you have them but run out of time.
Oh man! that´s awesome, this animations could be added into the movie, but I know that´s impossible lol. As a fan of ALIEN saga I would like to thank you, the sequence when landing struts are extended, is similar to the sequences for landing of Prometheus.
Dude... you pick the best subjects to do this work on!
I mean, I love me some CONSTITUTION CLASS/D7 Star Trek and all, but really, everyone's doing that... no one has taken this on yet. Beautiful.
It's a great pity film isn't made like this anymore.
Very impressive. Nice work. Having seen the original in 1979 in Yongsan, Korea, I'm still nostalgic for the original, but this is damn good.
A true classic.
Thank you so much!!
It’s one of my favourite films but the continuity errors between the monitors and where the craft was always bugged me! As well as what seemed like “missing scenes” that you have lovingly made.
Great work!
I like the way you can hear the computer outside the ship even though you really wouldn't be able to hear anything.
I so much love this reimagined scene. Great Job! 👍
The special effects are far more realistic to what we would probably see out in space than the cgi of today.
When I lived in Hollywood, we went to the showing at Grummans Chinese Theatre. They had a full mockup of one of the hallways and the Navigator. You walked through the corridor, steam blowing, lights flashing, horn blaring, and then you saw the Navigator sitting in his reclined position. That set you up pretty good to have nightmares before you even saw the movie!
Shit this is amazing. I love it.that landing shit with the floods on, pure joy. Seeing Nostromo shoot through the sky? Beautiful.
Nicely done. Just the right amount of new scenes to enhance the Nostromo landing on LV 426.
I remember watching this Masterpiece first time in TV! 📺 even that way was Magical and top of galaxy!
I love that movie❤
One of the best series of movies ever made I have all of them.
This movie destroyed me. I slept with the light on for years.
My Hats off to Mr Arias here Man for the extra footage, looks real good!
Saw it in 1980 on hotel pay per view in the Bahamas age 8, while mother and father were down at the hotel bar😂 Shit me up, but loved it.
AMAZING LANDING!!!!! really outstanding work!!!!!
Dan ganas de verla otra vez !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!! Beautiful work classing up the ole Nostromo. Really tastefully done. Alien has a special place in my theatrical movie experience.
Two things in Alien I think would benefit from some modern SFX. This landing sequence and the final explosion. This was a really good attempt.
Excellent work!
..Вот фильм..-на века..💕👍👍
Awesome, just awesome. I always imagined that scene to get some updates like that.
