That you just uploaded. Reminds me some of the silver-metal color grading school I hinted to from Terminator Salvation. I'm sure you familar with it was quiet hyped when that movie was around some 2006 and color grading was becoming that new crazy thing.
Another possibility is the darkness introduces some 3d effect when viewed on LCD displays (yes I have one shitty LCD display, god I miss my good old solid CRT, I think they're still unbeatable.)
There are no CRT anymore. Same with mobile phones. Can't even buy one with classic keypads. Because business takes away all freedom. And tags it freedom, individuality and personality.
So that very thing you've just taken away from us? blah-blah, I can't hear you anymore.
btw: I like that restoration. It makes it look like a well lit working space, which makes sense. Reminds me of movies from the 60-70s where they literally spent every dollar to light every inch on screen. I love bright colorful pictures. Especially Technicolor era
