Was Aliens vs. Predator Requiem too dark?

[LastSurvivor92]

I thought it was honestly a tad too dark at times. I should of wore my sunglasses at night watching this film. Probably wouldn't of made any difference

Yes.

If you're watching the dvd it's too dark.  The bluray is perfectly fine, however.  Good detail in the blacks.

The darkness was a problem when i watched it in theaters and on the bluray as well.

Although its probably a good thing. Actually seeing more of the film would only make it worse.

It was a bit too dark but I prefer that than a too shiny one

Any word on when AVPR in 4k gets released?

It was so dark that I don't remember much of the movie except for the darkness.

The movie was all over for me when the blonde girlfriend was gone.

The darkness makes the cgi effects look better.  Back in 2007, the software was not as sophisticated, they still can't reproduce accurate lighting and textures in cgi, but they're getting closer all the time.

When I saw it in theaters, it looked completely fine, but everyone was complaining online.  I thought people were just being drama queens and I was frustrated.

Then when it came out on home media, I popped the DVD in and couldn't see a thing without shutting off the lights and cranking the brightness up to the point that the blacks became grey.

The blu-ray, however, does seem to be better.  But I did watch that in a dark room on a projector.

Even the daylight scenes are so dark it's like they were filmed in the twilight.

The Darkness was too much for me to see anything. Even on blu it was way to dark imo.

[P-Rock]

When it's dark even in broad daylight, then you know there's something wrong.

Yes.  I remember saying, "what is that bloody blob in the blackness?"

[happypred]

It was OK at the cinema...it was bewilderingly dark when I watched it at home

[Nukiemorph]

I'd never heard the "east coast got prints that were too dark" thing until I'd listened to the new podcast.  I personally saw a screening in Billings, Montana and it looked fine there.  Being in the western half of the country, this makes sense to me.  I'd be curious to hear where other positive and negative screening experiences happened in America.
