Finally saw part 2, and it was absolutely amazing. This the kind of film I go out of my way to see on the big big screen, and I’m so glad I did. The sound design makes it visceral, and the already intense action scenes have such impact you really feel it. It’s hard for me to get through some of these scenes and even comprehend how someone could label it boring. It is an epic like I’ve not seen before, and the build up for the next (final?) installment was hear pounding. Wow.
- This was the vision this film deserves. It really brought to life one of the finest sci fi stories of all time and did it justice.monospaced
- I can’t wait to see it.Ramanisky2
- Not boring...just a piss poor script and story. I agree that the cinematography and sound design were both stunning. Some of the acting was also pretty lame.utopian
- I was hoping they would get more into the sci-fi aspect of it. The effects of spice, their relationship with it, bending space/travel, spice guild. None of thattoemaas
- But a nice film either waytoemaas
- +1 utopWordsworth
- never will raise cult status like blade runner, alien, 2001 ... etc though...neverscared
- omahadesigns things you talk shitmilfhunter
- It’s hard for me to accept this opinion it’s a bad story when we’re talking about one of the best stories written.monospaced
- Agree that the importance of spice relayed, but not explained well.monospaced
- It reminds me of what an occasion going to the cinema really is. I have a decent set up at home with projector and whatnot, but you can't beat IMAXIanbolton
- Denis Villeneuve really knows how to build a world to get lost in. Even some of the shitty dialogue didn't really bother meIanbolton
- best part was Stilgar and he's unwavering believe. lolpango

- Maybe you’d enjoy a movie more suited for you, like Ready Player One or John Wick. No thinking required and lots of shooty bang bang punching.monospaced
- I felt like the first one was so good I couldn’t even blink or look away. Quite a masterpiece in every sense and not a slow or boring second.monospaced

Saw it yesterday on the big screen (it's only just opened here in prison). Definitely one for the cinema not the sofa. It looks spectacular. One of the best bits of world-building in ages and mum steals the show. Loved it.
And only for those familiar with '80s UK TV...
Hard to believe but my mate's wife was completely unfamiliar with the entire thing, new film, old film, book - everything. For quite a while we had her convinced we were off to see the light-hearted origin story of June, part two will be Terry's.
- Lol. I'd watch Terry in Dune.Fax_Benson
- lol_me_
- Caught it yesterday too. Im fresh from a re read and they have done a cracking a job of translating to screen.thumb_screws

Prison island perhaps..autoflavour - lol I thought I'd piss less people off if I just said Sydney.MrT
- Damn prisoners have it cushy these days. I’m a free man living in America and haven’t seen it yetnb
- It's an alright movie. Looks very nice, and ends in such a retarded way.babydick

Am I the only one who feels like this is a bit underwhelming?
It's good, and I'll watch it, but it doesn't raise the hairs in my neck. Maybe that's not what they were shooting for, trying not to get sucked into the trap of high expectations?
- It looks like it might stand the test of time, which imho is a better target than your neck hairsnb
- ^^^^^grafician
- That's fair.cannonball1978
- Based on the trailer, I'm very disappointed and completely underwhelmed by the Games of Thrones look and feel of the movie. Looks more like a slasher flick.utopian

- u r right, don´t expect to much extraordinary from villeneuve. he is solid no doubt, but dynamics never excel in his flicks.neverscared
- Didn’t David Lynch disown his version of the movie because he hated it so much? Lolnb
- Yes like any good man wouldi_was
- Game of thrones looks like a fucking soap opera. It’s ok by TV standards, but visually it’s not interesting or impressive compared to top tier filmsnb

- fuck, did I miss the release in march?Ianbolton
- lol, never do dots in the date with releases. It confuses those over the pond.garbage
- But also no list, no splash to the E on the title, and no characters. Drop the subtext to where they shouldn't be.garbage
- Whoever made this poster doesn't get that Arrakis is the main character, don't shit it up.garbage
- Paul is the messiah. Makes perfect sense. To me at least.monospaced
- I'll just go full spoilers and save you from reading the canon books: Paul as Muad'Dib is a false messiah, being manipulated by a cult of witches.garbage
- He was actually supposed to be born a girl, so that the could be bred to the Harkonnens, but Jessica willed him to be a boy.garbage
- So the witches used him to form a cult, and in the middle of it all he let himself get killed, which is pretty Christlike.garbage
- But he's more of a pawn, more of a mistake than a messiah.garbage
- fooking prawns.Nairn
- ^ lol, when are we getting District 10? Answer: never.garbage
- I did read the book. A couple of tile. He was also prophesied and fulfilled it regardless of being a pawn.monospaced
- Maybe read it another tile. He was foisted as a false prophet, and they pushed him as far as he could go. He was literally a false messiah, hence the title.garbage
- A messiah saves people. Paul was responsible for galactic jihad and the deaths of billions at the behest of the Bene Gesserit.garbage
- I think they will probably gloss over that. In the trailer Chani calls him "Paul Atreides", and not "Usul".garbage
- But Paul was 100% a pawn.garbage

on Morning_star's advice i went back for another look (it's cheap on mondays, see). having had my expectations dashed on the first showing i wasn't expecting a loth and i have to say it was much better as a result.
there are still a couple of sections that need cutting out, and christopher walken still phones it in as emperor, but otherwise i enjoyed it much more than when i first saw it. fabulous visuals, fabulous sound and for some reason the plot stumbled along a lot better than on the first showing.
so thank you Morning_star!
- You're very welcome. A second viewing is definitely the key.Morning_star
- Walken and Pugh were disappointing. An empire of excesses, they should have raised the bar in some way.i_monk
- To hear that Pugh was disappointing hurts a bit. Normally, she's a first-rate scene stealer.Continuity
- Definitely think walken is the weakest part of it. They needed some one with more menace/gravitas.thumb_screws
- +1 Pugh and Walken didn't belong in this onegrafician
- ^ why not try Sienna Miller and Russell Crowe?grafician
- I think Pugh was good but Walken definitly didnt fit in there, his playing and caracter doesnt work.HAL9001
- interview said Pugh will have more to do next movie. like how zendaya was barely in the first movie.pango
- Reckon a Gary Oldman, Hugo Weaving or Jeremy Irons would of worked better. I thought Pugh was ok.thumb_screws

- I've read the books, my wife hasn't, I had to keep pausing the movie to explain things. That story can not be told any faster, sorry Tim.mathinc
- lol same. I turned the subtitles on, and she still thought Shai Hulud was another one of Paul's names.garbage
- I like the first Dune, is this slower? I don't remember to find the first slow, was long time ago I was almost a kid. but I liked the moviei_was
- @garbage You don't need to read a book before watching the movie of iti_was
- Agree and disagree. Herbert did some very intricate world-building in the first one. You're going to miss a lot of things because DV chose not to include..garbage
- ..the internal dialogues that Lynch did. If you've seen the first one, you probably won't need the exposition. But also, read Dune! It's pretty amazing.garbage
- It's a good slow burn of a film, but there's a ton to appreciate if you know what you're seeing. I have two major qualms, but I'll keep quiet about it for now.garbage
- I read it! when I was a kid, I couldn't get my eyes out of the book! read all Dune in a row. Fascinating to remember this.i_was

I've never watched Dune and I've been far more interested in watching that documentary about the original than ever watching the movie.
But when I watched the trailer for the first one, and for this one, they both just look dumb. Like it's a convoluted, uninteresting story to latch on to as an adult.
A couple weeks ago a neighbor admitted he'd never seen Star Wars. He mentioned that as an adult it just looks unengaging and cheesy to him. I think that's how I feel about Dune.
- sorta feel the same but Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors so I am compelled to give this one a go.Ramanisky2
- It was an influential book, that's why people liked it.
The feudal system as a scifi story. Same way people like Thrones.PhanLo - Good to know. I think somewhere along the way I also confused Dune with Time Bandits. LOLmg33
- I never took it seriously as a young kid either, but some of my more cultured pals were really into it.PhanLo
- I loved Dune as a kid, I was really really looking forward to this movie, until I watched the trailer. It has I was made for Hulu written all over it.utopian
- Agree on the trailer but can’t see denis fucking it up.ben_
- Ironic, as Star Wars is a ripoff of Dune.i_monk
- I was in an “advanced” class in the 5th grade and we read Dune. Hadn’t a clue about a lot of it and felt stupid when the teacher explained what had happened.Green_Pork
- I can see why they never made the Children of Dune into a movie, it's a bit of a dull end to the characters.
Will that be in this movie series?PhanLo - Children of Dune was made into a miniseries in the 90s.i_monk
- Dune, the book, is a true epic and great sci-fi book, following in footsteps of Asimov's Foundation series. It's scale and scope are huge, and at times, boring.monospaced
- The big picture is awe inspiring, and that's why it's hard to capture them in film. Certain things just don't transfer correctly.monospaced
- Ha! A true aesthete... The new one looks very straight, as does mg33.tbgoodwillie
- Watched the mini-series, first 3 edpisodes were good, but the Macavoy ones were quite boring. Maybe the bigger budget and fleshing of the story will helpPhanLo
- @Mg33 Just watched the documentary today. It's well worth checking. So cool to think of O'Bannon, Moebius, Giger and Foss hanging out together.PhanLo
- Without the failed Dune, there wouldn't be Alien, at least in the form we see it now. No way as good without Giger.PhanLo
- Star Wars is super juvenile, but the special effects in the originals are enough to keep you interestednb

- haha there was definitely a moment of this where stilgar tells his men that paul refusing to accept he's the one means that he is definitely the onehans_glib

Saw it Friday night, late showing. Pre cinema warm up included 8 cocktails, mdma and about 2foot of reefer.
Absolutely loved it. Visually and aurally magnificent. The sweeping vistas and subtle technology effects like the shields were just right. It felt more personal than Bladerunner, more human.
Javier Bardem ruled every scene he was in. I was disappointed with Zendaya and Jason Mamoa and wanted more of Oscar Isaacs.
However, i cannot recall one single scene from it. And so i'm gonna watch it again this week, less 'adjusted'. :)
- I reckon it could do with a few re-watches, quite a lot to take in. Good going on being that melted to go see it.PhanLo
- Thanks. It took it's toll, the task of buying a Coke and some popcorn before hand was a test.... an epic test. We failed. Had to ask a twelve year old...Morning_star
- ...to order the drinks through the most overly complex UI. Before this we'd queued for 10mins not realizing you needed to order on the McDs-like screens.Morning_star

- lol...I think I'd declare any film a masterpiece after what you described.yuekit
- Went with my wife and a bunch of drinks; was fantastic. I’d say like the blade runner remake the tone was just right.ideaist
- can't imagine watching a movie on mdmaMilan
- It's different experience than you'd imagine and one that i find pleasant. Got to be the right kind of movie though.Morning_star
- Jason who?oey_oey
- lol, minus the kids and the mdma, that's how I watched The Lighthouse in theater. Dozed off for 15 minutes near the middle. I loved it, was beautiful.garbage
- I wish i'd got to see The Lighthouse in a theatre. Bloody love that film.Morning_star
- haha, I paid x2 £14 to see Madmax fury road in 3D stoned to fuck and pretty smashed on heavy stout. Was nicely asleep within 10 minutes!. Woke at end creditsIanbolton
- @morningstar Even though I missed one of the most crucial scenes, it was a wonderful and confusing experience.garbage
- @ian Did the same for Fury Road, and one of my friends slept through the entire movie. He sawed logs the entire time.garbage

Just got back from watching part 2.
It looks and sounds incredible and gets weird. It does change some things up from the source that I thought were intrinsic to character motives. I'm not sure they worked.
Geidi Prime looks incredible, feels like they have taken some influence from Geigers old concept art and incorporate brutalist elements.
We're totally getting Messiah.

Do I have to sit thru the first one to enjoy the sequel?
I started the first one twice and couldn’t get more than 15min into it. Oh my yawn another space world where there’s a trade war and a young hero’s journey yawwwwwn zzzzz
I love Villeneuve’s work so much but this story is tired

- probably not.... the first one lacks emotion and empathy... the second one is no different i guess.....not classic material there in terms of filmmaking..neverscared

- Different strokesnb
- Hope I didn’t offend anyone. I was just asking for your opinions on a movie in the very thread for that movienb
- Well, I for one am offended.
Sorry, 'offensive'. As you were.Nairn - You also implied the story was an unoriginal derivative bore, which obviously it isn’t, because it was a book and is regarded as a very good storymonospaced
- I too am deeply offended! I can't even enjoy my night now!pango
- I've read the canon books, and I agree they're not antiquated. Villeneuve 1 was amazing. Villeneuve 2 was harrowingly boring..garbage
- The pacing, the editing, the misuse of MCU shots. It felt like it was made in the mud. I tried rewatching it, and still couldn't.garbage
- I had hope because ol' V seemed to have finally caught Dune by the tale, but 2 is an absolute yawnfest.garbage
- I probs stil watch it, tho I know they will be zero inspo compared to the books. The first ones were waaaay to goodmaikel
- Watch it at home with the fast forward ready. The rare times that you start seeing something interesting..garbage
- ..it divorces itself from the cinematic interest of the first one, and falls into teen romance and sloppy foreverism.garbage
