I finally got around to watching Dune...I was pleasantly surprised how much that I enjoyed it. I couldn't believe that the movie was 2.5 hours long, it went by quick.
- I haven't seen it yet but loved the books. My wife hates SciFi so need a few hours spare to watch on my lonesomesausages
- @sausages sell it as a period drama in space. That's how i got my partner to watch it with me.thumb_screws

Saw it last night in IMAX. Absolutely amazing. Sets, costumes, visuals. The score was incredible, and the cast was top notch.
Seems part 2 is in the bag, I just hope it won't be too far away.
- We need to rewatch it a few times just to make sure the studio goes ahead for sure with Part 2grafician

"Villeneuve, a devotee of Herbert’s book from when he was a young teenager, knew immediately that in order for a feature film adaptation to be successful, “Dune” could not just be one movie.
“The story is so rich and complex that, in order to be faithful to the book, we’ll need to make at least two movies,” he said. “That was a deal right at the start.”"

This trailer is GARBAGE. The film looks like it was made in 2005 and has zero ambition to do what Lynch did (kinda of) or Jodorowsky attempted with their version - portray a world 8000 years away from today.
- I was expecting this comment from you. Mr AV Club comments come to life.tank02
- I smella bomb.utopian
- ofcourse its gonna bomb, in any form its way to smart for the grunts. Infotainment has turned our brains to muschtank02
- You sound like fun. I bet you get angry because they changed Kynes to a woman.face_melter
- Jodorowsky's vision was shite in comparison to Herbert's work; this rendition appears way more representative of the original work... as far as a trailer can.zarkonite
- The "voice guns" in Lynch's movie were an ambarassing substitute for all the fighting, it went against the principles the Butlerian jihad and is poor writing.zarkonite
- There is SOOOO much failure in Lynch's movie, no wonder he doesn't want his name on it.zarkonite

This should be an HBO series, not a movie. Too much great content to play with.

Watched it last night, it was above average at best.
To be honest it was a bit of a let down, more of a soap opera than a sci-fi movie. Dune 2021 was much better.- Any notes without spoilers (I mean I know what going to happen)?
I was planning on watching it on one of the fancy screens tonight.garbage - The cinematography and sound design are both incredible. Buy the story, script and acting were all subpar, bland and kitschy. Still a decent movie to watch.utopian
- i'd agree. it was a bit of a mess, storyline wise. looks and sounds great, but fuck me it was all over the place as far as the plot went.hans_glib
- and christopher walken did not convince as the emperor, he was just christopher walken wandering onto arakis for no apparent reasonhans_glib
- and was it just me or did paul atreides go a bit tetsuo with that cape an' all?hans_glib
- God, I should have listened. Every time there was a good shot, it immediately cut away into some TV movie shit.garbage
- There was no drive, the editing was horrible, the acting was horrible. It had no energy of the first one.garbage
- It had no business even trying to be that long, we walked out with an hour or so left. So fucking boring, they are 100% paying Rotten Tomatoes.garbage
- You walked out? LOLmonospaced
- Ha yeah, not dramatically or anything. I was hungry and the missus was only along for the ride. For one night, we were united in not giving a fuck about Dune.garbage
- I don’t think we saw the same movie. I just saw it and the acting was superb. Editing was masterclass. Story is as close to an archetype of perfectionmonospaced
- The action and pace was heart pounding and non stop. Maybe you’re just not used to thinking movies, or you failed to grasp the story completely?monospaced
- If that was heart-pounding, maybe get your pacemaker checked. While 1p1m isn't cemented, forcing the editors into a matching runtime has its disadvantages.garbage
- But I'm sure you know that, and recognized that the film was full of studio-induced fluff.garbage
- Or you're just constantly foaming at the mouth at me because I know what I'm talking about and you don't.garbage

I'm going to need to read Dune Messiah now, aren't I?
I think I have them all up to God Emperor, so... aiieee.
- I love the idea of it being titled, 'God Emperor of DUNC'.Continuity
