Out of all things Fede didn't imitate from the other Alien films it was a ship or a module (Alien 3) entering an atmosphere, which is practically synonymous with the series at this point. Here, it leaves(!) the atmosphere (twist!) but jokes aside that scene was indeed especially similar to the drop ship sequence in Aliens, with Bjorn here sort of mirroring Hudson's character by being the only one not sitting down and also acting cocky. Loved the scene nonetheless, especially the thrusters igniting, and Navarro's "here comes the hug" (probably referring to the g-forces) was a nice detail.
