Dune (2020) by Dennis Villeneuve

[Wor-Gar]

This seems like the kind of movie theaters were made for. Epic scale.

I still hope to see this in the theater.

Besides, my HBOMax always starts buffering after about 1.5 to 2 hours.

And some people say blu ray is pointless. Wait until Disney Fahrenheit 451s all their physical media and puts "Hutt Slayer" Leia in a parka and slacks.

Yeah, nothing like watching a movie with picture compression artifacts and compressed audio..

Streaming always looks better on my OLED than a 4k BD...

And of course, revisiting it a few years later and feeling like something was different, changed, or missing...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I'm watching this film in theaters.

I feel like this same comment can be applied to BR2049. And Sicario. And Sicario 2. And the last 3 Bonds. All meh.

 

[Wor-Gar]

BR2049 I get... but Sicario? Epic scale? No.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Sicario....2?

I think he means all those films were average and not theater worthy, not that they're epic.

 

[matticus]

Great cinematography. Don't see great scale in a lot of movies but 2 had a little. I don't see much scale with just being in the desert like Dune, but we'll see.

Lawrence of Arabia.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I'm not a fan of Villeneuve's minimalist production designs. I don't think it was a good look for BR. It didn't feel like the same world,imo. His minimalist style might be a good fit for Dune tho.

 

[matticus]

Can't wait till the cliffhanger.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Maybe they'll go full Lynch and have a voice over ending:


Paul: The worms... the spice... is there a connection?

Chani: The worms... the spice... is there a connection?

NARRATOR: The worms... the spice... is there a connection?

Cinema is the only way. Get to IMAX if you can.

I saw DUNE a month ago in IMAX (in Europe) and it was spectacular. Definitely one for the big screen.

 

[The Entity]

Definitely recommended to go and see this in the cinema if you can! And then, when you get home, watch it on HBO Max. We need to make sure the sequel will be greenlit!

I know nothing of the story. Knowing it ends on this note is concerning as the sequel may never happen.

 

[jye4ever]

Not even a cliffhanger it just ends lol

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Not even a cliffhanger it just ends lol

Paul is in a restaurant, Don't Stop Believin' by Journey is playing and the screen fades to black.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Seeing this at a screening Monday evening.

Let us know how it goes.

It has to be continued. It's one of those classics which actually has had a very checkered history of attempts at being made if you look into it.

With Discovery taking over and wanting to hold talent, surely they will go with Part 2 and not want to lose Villeneuve as well as Nolan.
