Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott, theatrical cut, custom SDR trimpass from a hybrid 4k HDR remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, original theatrical 4.1, two commentary tracks, RedLetterMedia commentary, Jaboody Dubs riff commentary, two versions of the score, and subtitles in thirty-seven languages. IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/ Per-sequence HDR to SDR manually trimmed video from UHD HDR remux and encoded in two-pass 13.5 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Text subtitles converted to SRT, image subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned. Note : Some of you already guessed this was coming up after last week's Predator upload, and yes, since there's never been a Blu-Ray release of an SDR version of the 4k remaster, we've turned our SDR-loving gaze to this absolute, stone-cold classic, creating again what I think is the definitive way to see it. This has all the beautiful detail of the 4k remaster, but colors and contrast faithful to the original film. See below for technical details. This is the film that redefined the look of sci-fi for a couple of decades at least, as well as being probably the best sci-fi horror film ever made, and it holds up so well aesthetically, technically, and plotwise that you don't really notice it was released in 1979, except maybe for all the indoor smoking. The run-down, worn, chunky technology, designed by the legendary Ron Cobb and Chris Foss, feels infinitely more real and lived in than anything that had come before it, the characters are relatable working joes, tired and exploited "truckers in space", and that's all before we drop in a psychosexually charged, metallic, insectoid rapist murder nightmare of an alien designed by a Swiss pervert with a fixation on phalluses and pharyngeal jaws. It's one of my absolute favorite films of all time, and of course has a stellar cast as well, which consists entirely of Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto, Bolaji Badejo, and Helen Horton as YOUR MOM. Commercial space tug Nostromo is on its way back to Earth with a cargo of mineral ore, with the ship's complement of seven in suspended animation for the duration. The ship's computer, "Mother", picks up a transmission from a nearby, uncharted planet, and wakes up the crew. The company that owns the Nostromo has a policy of investigating signals that might indicate intelligent life, so the crew begrudgingly detaches the ship from the enormous cargo and make their way planetside, where they find a huge, derelict alien space ship. Upon investigating, it contains an oversized skeleton with unusual signs of chest trauma, and a deep chamber containing hundreds of egg-like capsules. XO Kane promptly sticks his head in front of one of them, and is attacked by a spider-like creature that attaches itself to his face. Warrant officer Ripley does not want to allow the away team back on the ship, citing quarantine protocols, but science officer Ash overrides her and opens the airlock. Upon examination, the creature on Kane's face seems to be symbiotic, keeping him alive by pumping oxygen into his lungs, but it also has an extremely powerful acid for blood, and a tail that threatens to strangle him if disturbed. Eventually, the creature detaches on its own and dies, but during a crew meal before returning to stasis, Kane convulses, and a new, small alien creature, which has incubated in his body, bloodily bursts out through his chest, killing him, and disappears into the bowels of the ship. The crew sets out with flame throwers and nets to try to capture it, but the new arrival is growing quickly, is highly aggressive, and might actually have some help from one of the crew... The 4k remaster of Alien is an extremely high-quality transfer, but unfortunately the HDR grading is pretty bad, even if you generally like HDR. The highlights are far too hot, hitting distracting-to-retina-searing levels even on trivial highlights like a light through a window. The highlights weren't too hard to fix, but unfortunately the blacks are also slightly crushed. We did what we could to recover them, but there's unavoidably slightly less detail in the blacks on this version than on previous SDR releases, which is mostly noticeable (and a shame) on the scenes involving the excellent miniature work (space ship exteriors, etc.) This aside, this SDR trimpass looks very good, I think, and the exceptional sharpness and detail level is a marvel to behold. The 5.1 remaster also sounds very good, as does the original theatrical 4.1, both the cast/crew and director's commentary tracks are very interesting and full of information about the production, the RLM commentary track is chatty but also full of trivia and opinionated bullshit, the Jaboody Dubs commentary track is quite funny, and it's a treat to both have the final version of the score as well as Jerry Goldsmith's original version, since the score to this film is pretty amazing on its own. Again, I think this should be the definitive version. Hot tip
