It looks like they just wanted flat lighting. Alien, Aliens was shot using either Technicolor or Eastman color. Celluloid film had a whole different visual feel to it. More painterly, less graphic than video used today. They may have been trying to replicate the color palette of the original films.
I can see that, but I feel it has to do more with a set having more natural light blocking, then a "set" that is nothing but green screen or nearly all green screen.
Totally agree with you. There is a beauty to practical effects that is totally lost with CGI. Star Wars really fell victim to this over the years. There's a much bigger problem with the Alien franchise which is 'how many times can you make the same movie?' even if the scenario is slightly different each time.
Bro that aliens pulldown was cold
Was actually proud I thought of that. Wanting to try new things to make my videos more then just me talking with the occasional B roll.

Agreed. These 'subtle' differences are overwhelmingly palpable, in the 'finished' product.
