10 Coolest Sci-Fi Movie & TV Worlds

10. LV-426 - Aliens

One need only take one look at this place to wonder why anyone thought colonizing LV-426 for a human colony would in any way end well for anyone. Well, I guess when you're Waylan Yutani, danger is something that happens to someone else.

LV-426 is the setting for both the original Ridley Scott horror film "Alien" and the James Cameron sequel "Aliens". A dismal, gloomy planet of spire-like rocks and constant cloudy weather. Oh and there's one other thing that somewhat defines this backwater hellscape of a planet, oh what was it now? Oh yes, that terrifying monster from the first movie? Yeah this is where they're from, and they just can't WAIT to meet their new neighbors!

Yeah, as you can imagine, the colony that was stationed on the newly terraformed planet did not last that long once the Xenomorphs picked up their scent. But beyond the terror of the Xenomorphs, the planet just has this dense atmosphere of dread and horror that makes you clench up the minute you see it, way before any aliens show up and start making with the chompy chompy on poor stupid marines.
