You should compare Alien to its sequel Aliens. It too used people in suits and puppets to portray the xenomorphs, however due to improved creature design I think it looks miles better.
I recommend watching the entire movie instead of clips of the effects, but even on their own I think Aliens's hold up very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp7SNoYOQmY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp7SNoYOQmY
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoI think there's just more clever camera work in Aliens. There aren't as many full bodied shots and they spent more time working with puppets than people in suits. The last scene with Ripley fighting off the Alien in the airlock looks especially terrible. The alien just looks like a pile of latex. Its laughably bad by today's standards.
