Clip shown on the Graham Norton show

This is a bit like the Audi product placement promo, but in this case I cannot spot the product.

In another thread it's confirmed 'this' is in the movie but surely not in this form???

Wait, so it IS David and not Walter in this clip?

Apart from the bad CGI I just hate how the Alien moves towards that door. It appears to move on rails while it was so damn sneaky crawling through that went. And why does it have its tail proned like a scorpion?

It looked like it was sliding along the floor, like it was trying to stop to avoid slamming into the closing doors. That would also explain why the tail was whipped forward all scorpiony.

Just got back from seeing the movie. I was truly appalled at the low quality of some of the effects ie cgi.

It was as if they had run out of sfx budget and had to do some of these cgi pieces on the cheap. Oh well!

[Evanus]

Did it really look that bad?

I noticed in my second viewing when the Xeno climbs down the ladder (in this clip) the tubes on its back actually fold and bend, they don't just go through the metal floor like it looks to do here.

I hope for the home video release they go back and touch up some of the effects. From the trailers, everything I've seen looks good, but that clip with the Aliens tubes going through the floor just irritates me. Maybe I shouldn't be so picky, but little things like that can take you out of a scene.

Good deal!

So disappointed that this scene wasn't fixed. Ghost xeno confirmed. Come on Ridley.

. .i never noticed the tubes going thrue the floor. .will have to watch again. .i loved how it uses it's tail on the ladder. .alien looks very sleek to me. .dunno why the cg is getting so much hatred. On the other hand. .i don't want them tubes going thrue the floor. .will go have a look see again. .only downloaded that bit last night. .

It's pretty clear that the tubes bend and don't go through the floor.

[juxtapose]

cool. .no tube issues then!

To everyone worried about the back tubes going through the floor, I'm happy to confirm this does not happen in the final film. The tubes clearly fold back as it crawls into the hole. (Saw the film last night)

Ye of little faith

Per this post I just made, I'm happy to report that they fixed the effect in the home video version!: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=58641.0
