I do wish it looked a bit... grittier, more like the first 2 movies, it has a bit too much of a modern movie shine to it. The future technology looks too "modern" to be a futuristic setting based from the 80's. Case in point; Alien Isolation, while being a modern video game, it still keeps the esthetics of the first movie's design of the future intact with casettes and olden times computer screens.

Not to start an argument but it really annoys me when people say modern movies look too new or shiny. I recently got into a discussion over Jurassic World on imdb.

How do people expect movies to look? Of course they look new. They're made today. Just like 90s looked newer than 80s and 80s looked newer than the 70s etc. It just sounds like more "back in the day" talk when I see this.

Also what do you mean by the future technology looks too modern? This makes no sense. The future in the series is not set in the 80s.

The future looked 80s in the original because the movie was made in the 80s. Not because the future was meant to look retro or whatever.

The future is set in 2029. How is it supposed to look? It's meant to portray a long time from the present with really high technology. Obviously in real life were not close to this but in the series it's this way.
