Alien Nostromo Landing on LV 426 

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...😢

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.

Masterpiece of artistic creation... special mention to H.R.Giger❤❤❤❤❤

..Вот фильм..-на века..💕👍👍

I was born right about the same time it was released in movie theatres. Spring of 79'

Wow, one of the few times a 3D enhanced recreation pairs almost PERFECTLY with scenes from the original film...very impressive, my friend!!!

Just finished watching the movie. Your reimagining of the special effects for this scene is EXCELLENT!

Believe it or not, I was bored shitless during the opening scenes when this came out (I was 20). It seemed to drag on forever, then BAM, the happening. I went to see it again a week or so later and learned what 'lead up' and atmosphere was all about. Nobody had made openings that lured you in like this before, it was too much for my uneducated mind to grasp.

Most epic scene in history of sci fi cinema

Congratulations! Good work tech- sargent Marcelo!

Amazing landing sequence, nothing or few scenes in science fiction come to mind maybe 2001 Space Odyssey.

I went to see this movie when I was 22 years old. While I was watching it, in suspense, the deodorant I was using at the time seemed unpleasant and since then I thought it was the scent of the Alien. Every time I smell that perfume on others (it is a standard perfume that is still sold and added to deodorants) I remember the movie.

Awesome thanks

With today's technology they could re do a lot of the Cgi scenes and make it so much better

This movie is about 40 years old. But why, it seems to be more realistic than today’s full CG space movies.

Possibly the best sci-fi movie ever made. Nothing comes close to it today.

0:04 All the planets' crescents are facing the same direction. Take that, _Star_ _Wars._ 😄

Crazy how many people here think this is the original sequence in the film. However this is still a cool fan made reimagining of it, some parts of it were downright impressive. Excellent job for what it's worth.

This movie still rocks today after 45 years

Never thought I'd be able to accept a CGI Nostromo but you've done an outstanding job here. 👏👏👏

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.

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 choice as best sci-fi movie. Original, scary, brilliant direction and very capable cast.

This is beautifully reworked, would like to see this 'sympathetic restoration' to the whole film. Well done! 10/10 👍🏻

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.

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.

Dude, this is awesome! I've been thinking about this scene and details since childhood. You have to understand - the Nostromo itself is a ship that flies in outer space for many years, without maintenance. And upon entering the planet’s atmosphere, under overloads, it broke! True astrophobia.

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..

Jerry Goldsmith's score is fabulous and is a vital element of both the scene and the general movie.

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.

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.

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.

After all that time though, it has not lost any of its fascination. Every now and then I have to watch it again, and never get bored.

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.

Ugh. That landing would’ve been enough for me to scrap the mission.

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!

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.

One of the best films ever. The music is excellent. Great work!!!

This movie will never get old, just like 2001 Space Odyssey....WOW❤

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 like how these effects stay true to the atmospheric quality of the original for Alien. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

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.

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 !

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.

The only thing what was strange was that the cockpit started burning after they landed on a rock lol

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, ❤

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.

Best 5 minutes of any sci fi film in the last 46 year's

Actually i am so scare on this scene very creepiest landing

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!

Very impressive Marcelo! To those of us who savor this film, you really gave it the glory it deserves!

That was incredible. That scene alone is better than most movies these days

Bravo! Still one of my top 10 films after all this time. Thank you for creating this! 😎👍☮

I'm impressed how seamlessly your 3D animated scenes fit into the live-action ones. Well done.

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

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. 👍👏

Probably the best movie of all time

That was nicely done. Ron Cobb would have been proud.

Finally I see straight lights

One of the best if not the best space sci fi movie ever made , then destroyed it with cheesy sequels

1st time ive seen this footage, thanks ! i shared it on youtube .

This is really well done, I especially appreciate the addition of the boulders collapsing under the ship's weight when the landing gear touches down, to explain why everything suddenly goes to hell as soon as they hit the ground.

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 !

Well done, and it's possibly one of the (minor) things that's lacking in the original movie, ie. a proper sense of descent during the Nostromo atmospheric entry and landing.

L'un des meilleurs films de sciences fiction. Le vaisseau et sa navette sont troublants de réalisme. 👍

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!

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.

This movie destroyed me. I slept with the light on for years.

Beautiful work. Almost seems like this was what I watched 40 years ago. Amazing!

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.

I saw this movie for first time in 1990 ,I was 8 years old.

Ahhh... thought those missing bits were a director cut or something....but fan-made... impressive

The music is nice and that tridimensional plug on the Wow Signal, also popularized through the mythical Joy Division album, is simply irresistible. ❤

Something that has always slightly bothered me about this scene. They are transporting a hugely valuable cargo in a massively expensive towing vessel. I have never understood why they took the entire crew on the shuttle with them. If anything goes wrong, the Nostromo is stranded and the cargo potentially lost and they can’t bring Nostromo down to the planet to rescue them because it doesn’t look it was designed for planetary landing (at least with cargo attached). A bit like Ripley not letting Kane in the airlock, I would have thought that there would be a protocol for this. Is there anything in canon that might touch on this? Anyway. Fantastic piece of work adding to the already spectacular original clip. Very well done!

I saw this movie in 1979 at 15 years old. It has really held up over time.

Dude, this is AMAZING! Like WOW. You should do more of these!

This is an extended edition. Thank you.

Always thought the landing scene was a bit too short and needed more exterior shots especially of the approach. Excellent job.

Tremendous work, truly. Almost wish the OV looked this good. (Almost)

AMAZING WORK!! Subtle upgrades are the best!

This is great! The way you have seamlessly integrated your new visuals with the original film is impressive!

Why does everything explode in the cockpit on a hard landing 🤦🏻‍♂️

Смотрел этот фильм когда был маленьким (не помню, сколько лет). Было это в пионерском лагере, в Советском Союзе. Это было круто 👍

Fantastic landing scene , i especially like the extra footage that's been incorporated with the original film.

Still remember watching this on home video as a kid. Great work as always. Hope to see more from the Aliens Universe.

🤔 A ship flies through space and gets F up from a rock on landing, weird.

Awesome, just awesome. I always imagined that scene to get some updates like that.

"This isn't a rescue ship" Right!

This is just gorgeous! I love how the final descent conjures the landing of Prometheus. Top-drawer work, sir!

So gripping how can they not reproduce this feeling in new movies?

*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 AS A YOUNG NERD ! RICK LONG CANBERRA NERDS INC ! KAMBAH RULES ! JOSH LONG IS MY BROTHER ❤

The suspense watching this on VHS back in the day

nice! this was the sequence that told us in 1979 we were definitely in for something new with the movie.

Nicely done. Just the right amount of new scenes to enhance the Nostromo landing on LV 426.

Modern special effects have been added,prefer the original version.

No CGI kids. Just pure art. Still looks good today.

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.

When they tell you there's no indigenous life on a planet...

I remember craping my pants watching this film as a kid 😅😮😢😢😊😊😊❤❤
