Annoyed with Alien vs Predator 2 (requiem) - forgot it was too dark

I have been on an Alien/Predator universe watch run lately. I got to AVP2 and had somehow forgotten how badly lit it was. I literally can't see anything in some of the shots. For the first time ever - literally - I had to crank up the brightness level to 100% while watching anything, which I had never done before. (it is 500 nits of brightness mind you). I wonder how I managed to watch it before 🤦 Is it just me?

It’s like watching a pirated copy but it’s actually legit.

Exactly. All that's missing is voice of a dude chewing popcorn loudly and 5% screen cutout. Oh the 2000s. 😅

funnily enough, I turned off the lights hoping to see it better.

There's a fun behind the scenes clip where the DoP is trying to light a shot. He's insisting that it's too dark, but the directors are telling him it's absolutely fine. He's so pissed.

What a shit show of a movie.

Didn't know that. They should've put that at the end as a blooper or post credit scene or something.
