    The old school future tech its probably my favorite thing about this movie. I love a sci fi world that isnt super cleaned and polished but instead looks thrown together and lived in. The shot of the computer screens reflecting on the helmets has always been one of my favorites

    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 word.
    Everyone was completely stunned, in shock, by what they just witnessed.
    Ridley Scott's finest work for my money..

    This opening just gave one the impression that space was huge and impersonal. And giant corporations own and run the ships that travel through the enormous and vast cold space. It definitely makes space look dangerous and hostile to humans. So the overall impression was ominous and foreboding. Then when you see what they end up dealing with you realize space is not a place for humans. It’s just brutal and merciless.

The lights flickering on and the electronics, HVAC, and current flow noises echoing in the cold commercial ship, really just work so perfectly.

    Before "Alien" there were science fiction movies, good, bad, everything in between. Then this came out and completely changed EVERYTHING. Greatest sci-fi of all time. I saw it the first week it came out in '79. My girlfriend at the time, later wife, was a John Hurt fan. Otherwise we knew nothing about it. He had given an interview beforehand and said he was in this new "sci-fi horror flick" so off we went to see it. I have never been in a movie theater, before or since, where the tension grew minute by minute, not knowing was coming next. Then the famous first appearance of the alien. The audience at this point was slowly becoming more and more hysterical, my gf's head was in her lap at this point, people were screaming and climbing the walls. Then the grand finale...she was squeezing my hand and still couldn't look up at the screen. She was not alone! The last 5 minutes, the alarm noise, the flashing lights, Nostromo blows up, spectacularly, then, peace at last, into the escape pod, Ripley sheds her space suit, gets the kitty settled in and prepares for sleep, then...oh...look...up in under some equipment...did we just see something move...?

    • @captaincapitalism264
      @captaincapitalism264 Год назад

      Yep, agreed: changed Everything. I mean, Star Wars also changed sci-fi *action*, elevating it to a whole new level too, but...Alien? It took the realistic, stark sci-fi of the likes of 'Silent Running' and combined it with man-vs-nature horror to masterpiece levels.

    when I watched it (15 years old with my German pen pal - I said I heard it was a good film that we must watch so we did one sat night his mum and dad were out). we didn't know the story in any detail and we were terrified from the outset. The music and sounds build anticipation and anxiety. we thought something had happened already on the nostrum and couldn't relax and it was very clever manipulation and we were on the edge of our seats. Neither of us slept well but I was at that age I enjoyed the themes and scares and story and wasn't just frightened. intrigued.

    you did a great job i love the ambient sound of the ship only thing i personally would change is remove all sounds from the computer startup sometimes less can be more i would have no sound on the text parts just only when the computer switches on maybe i don't know why but at the very start looking at the corridors with the low rumbling sound of the ship i was getting David Lynch vibes when movies are remastered these days into 4k and things i often think if they re'work the visuals why don't they re'work the audio too like you have done here sometimes sound is far more important than visuals for setting a mood

    Really cool. Must have been a huge amount of work - thinking of playing around with sound when I start doing Bike reviews/ moto-vlogging. I'm thinking of recording all the commentary afterward and mixing it in with some recorded bike sounds (of the actual ride, but recorded to optimize the quality of the engine noise), Add a little performance to make it seem like I am physically working hard riding the bike and... Mainly thinking of doing this because I don't think I have a mike set-up that will manage wind noise adequately in the helmet. Bit more work, but might save me some money and result in a better quality vid.

    As a pilot I can testify aerospace is adept at making things last and reuse. A Garmin 430 from 1998 is still "cutting edge" for most small aircrafts and reliable computers that can withstand radiations and wear and tear will have to also last decades if not centuries with no maintenance and will rely on tech that isn't flashy but does the job. Old MIGs still use tubes because they can work after an EMP blast from a nuclear warhead. Spaceships that will need to travel light years will need hardware that can work forever with cosmic radiation and with materials that also don't degrade with time. Consumer electronics are flimsy and brittle and fragile.

    The studios didn't want to touch SiFi film making(even with after Star Wars). Then this movie came out and to me and a lot of other SiFi junkies set the standard for Alien encounter. They have tried repeating this formula but can't get it right because you know what's coming. The first time I saw it, it was the scariest (until the MIST) movie I had ever seen.

    Dated by, amongst other things, the use of the sound of a dot matrix printer when text appears on a CRO screen, I always thought that was silly.
    Edit: I now see that someone else commented in similar vein at an earlier date.

    Interesting soundscape. It would be interesting to have thos in the film, to see if it makes a positive impact or not.
    A lot of the horror is built up through subliminal methods, and this includes the sound. Still, nicely done.
