Denis Villeneuve's Arrival was released 7 years ago today.
I love this "close encounter".
"A linguist is recruited by the army to communicate with an extraterrestrial life-form after twelve mysterious spaceships land around the world." #scifi#arrival#movie#spaceship#alien#villeneuve
When otherwise reliable Gravync engines fail, the field disturbance can lead to an extreme warping capable of tearing the fabric itself.
One can only imagine how stressed the engineers aboard this ship must be while trying to fix this glaring malfunction before it gets worse.
A half backed mess and lacking lots of basic features for the type, the SOCO deep research lab was finally launched after years of misguided development and budget miscalculations.
But what a hell of hull design!
Andor started one year ago today with the first Ferrix arc (3 episodes).
For the occasion, my piece on the history of the Arrestor Cruiser, from 1974 to Andor, is available to everyone.
"This is the short story of a design that took more than four decades to go from paper to screen. It is also an opportunity to pay tribute to the late designer Colin Cantwell."
Reminder: the USCSS Nostromo, which lands on LV-426, is a massive tug, and yet this ship is tiny compared to the huge refinery it pulls through space. #alien#scifi#horror#model#miniature#spaceship
It is done. the SRS Bogavante, ready to take off to explore the surface of new worlds. I’ve been detailing up to 2:30 am, so now I’m lacking of some sleep hours, but I like the result. Problem, as usual, is to stop adding details. You need to know when to stop or risk ruining the work. I hope you like it.
