It was overly bright @ red alert, it should have gotten darker to make the focus on the main screen, not on the bridge.
The Kelvin bridge had extremely subdued lighting, both in cruising mode and red alert. Maybe you and I were watching a different film.
THAT'S why he didn't like it! He was watching Crimson Tide!
