lancerman Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 7 hours ago, August4th said: WB looking like amatuers why would they not run this by Legendary before announcing Dune was going to HBO to the world?lol There was a rumor that basically when films were being pushed back there was some clause that said Dune and Tenet couldn't release within a month of each other or something and they wanted Legendary to push a date they had scheduled for Tenet so they could fit Dune in a specific spot in their new schedule. Legendary wouldn't budge and it was part of the reason Tenet was released the way it was because they were already in a bind for a release date and WB was pissed. That said, massive show of bad faith on WB's part to basically use distributions rights to power flex on the studio that put up 75% of the budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I could never even make it through the previous adaptation but this one looks incredible. Denis Villenueve is such a special filmmaker and this cast is crazy deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) This was an enjoyable movie, and I'm interested in the story. Quote Spoiler alert: Shame it leaves it as a cliffhanger, but I hope they have a sequel lined up already. Would recommend it for others, but it is lengthy.

Too much content to fit it all into a 2-3 hour window and do it justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished it and there's a chance I go on $5 Tuesday after work for that very reason. Feel like the score was meant to be heard in a theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yeah I watched it on HBO but agreed, would want to have a theater experience on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMAX for me and it was awesome. I just finished rewatching on HBOMax and it was still good and didn't seem as long. I actually do like the book and the original Lynch version of the movie so this was familiar to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Ducks Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Dune was beautiful and was a fairly strict adaption of the book. The visuals and score were absolutely stunning. Some great performances by big name actors, too. Where it fell a little flat for me, is where the book fell flat. Paul is not likeable or relatable and I wish they would have changed that from the book. Excited for the next one but knowing the limitations that the source material has, I’m not expecting much different than this one - which is a beautiful movie with decent substance, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 pretty cool analysis of this scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) I enjoyed the film esp the world building and ambitious scope. But I gotta say this movie ended much like The Empire Strikes Back did yet without the A New Hope that preceded it so it doesn't quite stand on its own. I know this is part 1 of 2 but as we've seen, there's no guarantee of that happening thanks to Covid. I would imagine this movie cost a fortune and likely will not recoup itself but I still hope WB lets Villeneuve finish his story anyway. Also, Timothy Chalamet is a MF rock star. He's so good in The King and this film further cements his status imo as one of the best young actors today. Edited October 23, 2021 by thrILL!

JonStark Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Really good movie overall, but it's a must see in theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It was a beautiful film, loved the world building…but it just felt lacking in…something. If they come out with 2nd one, I’ll definitely watch it just to see the conclusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
