Dune thread

We'll be hitting the IMAX later this week to check it out. Anybody seen it yet ? I'm a fan of the books. The David Lynch movie was actually not bad. I'm kind.of cautiously excited about the new movie but Villeneuve has slightly disappointed me in the past with his overly ambitious projects.

 

I haven't seen the original and I haven't read the book(s?), but watched the movie a couple days ago.

I'd say it was just okay. I wasn't aware it was meant to be a trilogy of 3 long movies until after it ended so I felt it was really unfinished and ended on a weird note, then I looked up when to expect the 2nd part and it hasn't even officially been approved yet and earliest it might be released is well over 2 years from now which I don't understand but I'm assuming Covid has disrupted plans.

Overall the movie was not bad. No cool parts, no funny parts, no real combat or fight scenes that stood out, and just a lot of dream sequences/flashbacks that seemingly never went anywhere. Maybe if I read the novels I'd have appreciated it more, who knows.

 

I got Duned out decades ago.

 

It wasn't great. It was good. Some awesome visuals but I found the combat scenes to be a bit silly. Shai-Halud on the other hand was pretty bad Ass.

 

I liked it. If you liked the new Bladerunner you’ll like this one.
I knew going in that it was gonna be first of x movies so I knew not to expect an actual ending to the story.

 

I want to see it in the theater, but being in my late 50's, I know there's no way I can get through the 2:30 running time without a bathroom run. It's available on HBO Max, so I'd be able to pause it, but I'd really prefer the big screen.

 

I recommend big screen on this one ,IMAX if possible.
Good movie, real science fiction flim, missing a little bit of story telling.

 

This 61 year old made it through Bond last week with only one run It had been so long since I've been to a theater that I didn't know about all the cool new stuff. I'm watching the previews in the seat between my wife and son and notice that they're all reclined with their feet in the air. I looked over at my wife like WTF. She showed me the magic button, I was in heaven. That and the fact that you can't even see anyone other than the people in your aisle (of which there weren't any) made it a quite enjoyable viewing. I may not wait 6 years to go back again.

 

Gatorade bottle.

 

I thought the new Bladerunner was entertaining, but not awesome. I'm expecting the same with Dune.

 

Truckers.....

 

We solve problems.

 

Is this the movie with Joe Roberts in it?

 

i watched it friday night on HBO Max in my living room. no mega audio set up or whatever the dave Ks have, just a sound bar.

i enjoyed it. i knew it was going to be first of XX movies so didnt have expectations of closure, and i have zero knowledge of the books or previous films. enjoyable sci fi flick, shai hulud was very cool. i didnt hate the main actor either although just looking at his photo in the weeks leading up i thought i would dislike him.

 

Don't do it. It's not worth the pain and suffering. It's probably where they got the inspiration for the last season of GoT. Especially Sandworms. I did it since I thought I should as a fan of the series. It's just a bunch of go-nowhere plot, and then in the last 50-100 pages, they realized they needed to end the story and just made up stuff and called it a day.

 

So it sucks. I had high hopes. Oh well thanks for saving me some money.

 

Anything Dennis velanuve makes is fucking gold.

I loved it.

I loved the realism of the cgi (especially on my 4K oled Samsung 65”) I liked the slow pace. Action movies today are all about bombastic scenes and ridiculous action.

Blade runner 2049 was the best film I’ve seen since... well... the arrival.... since.... well.... Sicario...

 

Watched it Saturday night on my 4K blah blah blah tv and it looked amazing. I enjoyed the film, honestly don't remember much of the original because I was too young at the time, but I did enjoy it. The ending left me wanting Part 2.
