So IMAX or Dolby or 'laser', wtf that is?
Yep, he says he wants to make three films in total by adapting Dune Messiah next. As that takes place 12 years after the events at the end of Dune, he says he is going to wait a few years to do it.I was going through those a bit the other day, and I did find people saying that Part 2 takes a bit of a sledgehammer approach compared to the more subtle tones of Part 1, so it's not unanimous. But yeah, I'm also really looking forward to this. Apparently, the film also ends a bit open-ended, setting the state for a third film based on the second Dune book - which Villeneuve has already said he would love to film, to make this a trilogy.
My favourite director working today.Villeneuve never misses
I can’t wait!!!!Experienced this masterpiece in IMAX today. 10/10. Perfection.
Still not watched it
You still have a few days so you're prepared for part 2!Still not watched it
So did I.Seems like I‘m one of the few that found the first one quite dull.
I’m not sure how well it will work on a small screen. If you do watch it on Netflix be sure to turn the volume up loud.Still not watched it
I'm not a huge fan if the first but I think it did a great job of putting down the foundation for the series to lift off now.So did I.
If I found the first dull will I not like the second?
I enjoyed it but it wasn't that exciting. Felt very much like half a film (which it was).Seems like I‘m one of the few that found the first one quite dull.
That was my issue. Too much foundation building not enough plot.I'm not a huge fan if the first but I think it did a great job of putting down the foundation for the series to lift off now.
I'm expecting this sequel to be far more involved and exciting for general audiences.
Yep. It was a film purely built for a sequel.That was my issue. Too much foundation building not enough plot.

Think of it as a set up/foundation for the second part of the story. They ramp up the adrenaline tenfolds in the second one.So did I.

Wow big call! Okay I’m sold.Think of it as a set up/foundation for the second part of the story. They ramp up the adrenaline tenfolds in the second one.
It's right up there with Fury Road as one of the most visually stunning/impressive movies I've ever seen, and they balance everything perfectly. Not one scene feels like filler.
Probably my favorite cinema experience ever.

It was a bit slow, so if you don't like that aspect of Villeneuve's work, I get that Pt 1 didn't excite you too much. Pt 2 is supposed to be much more action though, from what I've read. A rather different overall tone.So did I.

Yeah, 100% positive isn't going to happen anyway!Yep, he says he wants to make three films in total by adapting Dune Messiah next. As that takes place 12 years after the events at the end of Dune, he says he is going to wait a few years to do it.
I did read a couple of negative reviews, but there are always some. The vast bulk I read were mouth frothingly effusive in their praise for it.
Honestly can‘t remember much of it, sure pretty shots and high production values but I‘m one of the few that actually likes Lynch‘s version - at least most of it - and thought for example the Harkonnen were depicted very tame in the new version and I adore their portrayal by Lynch. Also the set design felt far more progressive in the old movie. Dunno, wasn‘t a fan of Villeneuves Bladerunner movie too.It was a bit slow, so if you don't like that aspect of Villeneuve's work, I get that Pt 1 didn't excite you too much.

It's a long time since I've seen it, but I think I mostly thought it was rather awkward, especially the whispered voiceovers. It's been ages though, I might be misremembering by now.Honestly can‘t remember much of it, sure pretty shots and high production values but I‘m one of the few that actually likes Lynch‘s version - at least most of it - and thought for example the Harkonnen were depicted very tame in the new version and I adore their portrayal by Lynch.

Awkward sounds about right. I have a sweet spot for the cast, props and overall atmosphere and its overall unique style - but it has many flaws obviously and Lynch distanced himself from it not for no reason. But in comparison the new version looks like a streamlined, no risk approach which made it a bit soulless and dull in my opinion. Glad you guys like it though.It's a long time since I've seen it, but I think I mostly thought it was rather awkward, especially the whispered voiceovers.

He's an actor, they tend to end up in films.How is Austin Butler in this?

I made this thread on 2016. Time flies!Legendary Pictures have bought the rights. Too early to say what they're going to do with them, hopefully a big budget TV series or a few films.
I love the original books (the prequels by his son read like bad fan-fic and are an utter disgrace).

Any other Dune fans?
And for all your other threads, it's been downhill since then. Or should I say... downdune?I made this thread on 2016. Time flies!
I was just going to say 'downdune' and now I see the white text.And for all your other threads, it's been downhill since then. Or should I say... downdune?
I found it slow and very boring to be honest.Seems like I‘m one of the few that found the first one quite dull.
My manI was just going to say 'downdune' and now I see the white text.
Well.
But I still wanted to have this thought reflect poorly on me in public, so I'm posting this anyway.
Amazon had the rights but I think the estate backed out of it in the end, which, judging by their LotR series, I'm thankful for.I made this thread on 2016. Time flies!
I think these movies are about as good as they could've been.
Now, where's my big budget adaptation of Iain M Banks Culture novels?
After all the posts in this thread explaining why people thought the first one was great, I think it's justified to ask: why didn't you see anything in it?What did people really see in the first one? Seems to me that people are just jumping on the hype train.
Why would people "jump on a hype train"? Is it not possible that they'd just like different stuff than you?What did people really see in the first one? Seems to me that people are just jumping on the hype train.
