We saw that in AvP and AvP 2.

Did we though? Because I couldn’t see shit in AvP 2. One of the darkest movies I’ve ever seen with regards to lighting.

It really is bizarre how dark that film is.

Here is a piece of trivia for you. AVPR's DP intentionally made this decision to avoid what its predecessor did. I.e. showing too much of the creatures due to too much lighting thereby defeating the horror element. Of course his efforts went too much in reverse instead, and what we got was very dark and very shaky.

That DP made a horrendous mistake. I can only imagine the production cringing at the dailies haha
