I think the ceiling/wall-crawling is done with physical effects, by the look of the lighting, but that one shot seems to beat what was similarly tried in 'Alien 3', by miles. Very impressive.
Yes, it is 'easy' now with CGI, but even with practical camera tricks, like shooting Tom crawling on the floor and reverse the camera so that he looks like up on the ceiling, or use CG to isolate that same shot or shots with Tom moving slightly different and use computers to place him on the ceiling and walls...
And that can be used always with the Alien as a man in suit, not as a CGI...At least, those shots could...
Jim Cameron was a source of practical effects... I miss him...
