What admittedly rustles my jimmies are movies set in the world of an earlier work, supposedly within the same time-frame, but they totally destroy the whole stylistic integrity of the original work in order to make it more contemporary, as opposed to embracing what was at the original's time contemporary but now would be part of its art form and image.

Like anything set in the Alien universe. The original Alien movie leaned on the late seventies interpretation of the future and is in part related to the sort of sci-fi futuristic vision as 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a sort of thing where the visual design can be described as being "fiber glass and plastic".

And then the aesthetic is altered and divorces it from the original completely. Like Prometheus' space suits compared to the 1979 Alien spacesuits.

And if Prometheus is supposed to be a prequel somehow to Alien, it seems to carry more of an upgrade aesthetic to its "sequels".

It's honestly why I liked Alien: Isolation. The game managed to re-capture the late 70's aesthetic as opposed to new Star Trek.
