There's a difference between darkly lit, and just turning down the brightness level on the film in the editing.

The Alien films are the former, AvPR is the latter.

Well-said.

I just wanted to bring this topic to the fore because I left the boards for a time after AVP:R was released, and at the time, the majority opinion was that people "didn't see what the big deal was." Now, I see that most people agree that this movie is too dark for the sake of just being freaking dark. And I"m glad that the opinion around here has shifted to that.

if i turn up the brightness then i can see some stuff but the picture becomes grainy. and if i leave it like that and watch star wars, i can see the outlines around the ships.
