Out on HBO Max? Will watch this weekend.

How is it half the story? They showed everything already.
It would be stupid to make a movie out of the visions that were shown. Is there a sequel?

hahaha. Dune itself was a huge book, but there were many many sequels of similar size.

There better be a sequel given all the positive press its getting plus good reviews from Ragers that have gotten to see it already. I'm going to try to delay watching it so my month of HBO max covers some stuff coming out in November (or I'll just go the my local AMC).

The first book is pretty big. The movie is listed as "Part 1" and only goes up to a point about half-way in the book.

KAC · Oct 21, 2021, 09:28 AM

But it seemed that the movie is same as the Dune from the 1970s. Will read up on it.

Only the first 3 books tell a relatively cohesive story. After that, things get...weird. I read up to Chapterhouse Dune and just couldn't anymore.

Dune

Loved it, can't wait for the next one.

Greasy · Oct 22, 2021, 09:03 PM

I watched Dune 1984. Those special effects.

Now on to the new one.

NIGELG · Oct 22, 2021, 10:01 PM

Second to last Dune 2021.(Yesterday).

Last Alien 3.(Today).

Jankan · Oct 23, 2021, 07:16 AM

Dune. Also liked it, thought it was a really good sci-fi. Made me want to watch blade runner which I haven’t seen yet, looks to be in the same mold

**Cyko** · Oct 23, 2021, 12:22 PM

Dune - 9/10

Great VFX and sound. Actors doing a great job (even though I want to punch the lead kid in the mouth whenever he speaks). Can’t wait for the sequel.

Insidious / Insidious 2 - 9/10

With the OLED and ATMOS setup holy ****. Creepy factor jumped by 1,000.

mizzer · Oct 23, 2021, 07:34 PM

Dune. A cinematic masterpiece: sound, music, cinematography. So good! My most enjoyable movie since the LOTR series.

JZL · Oct 23, 2021, 08:51 PM

No Time to Die . . . 7.5/10

The end of the Daniel Craig era.

These were mostly solid movies. I agree with whoever said these have been up and down but even the not-so-good ones weren't horrible. It's nice that his era ended on an uptick.

BTW, for someone who likes the series but has never seen any of the Brosnan ones, which one to start?

pax · Oct 23, 2021, 09:20 PM

Dune second viewing.

This shouldve been a 10 hr HBO show. So much character development and story is left behind. Villeneuve said this was his Star Wars cept SW wasnt based on a richly detailed book just a bunch of sci fi ideas. So to go about it the same way to do quick character introductions and thin storytelling doesnt quite work here. And its sanitized not only vs the book but even vs the Lynch film which was darker. Harkonnens werent just brutal rich corrupt shitheads they were seriously ****ed up. PG13
but shouldve been an R rated flick. Cast is good cept Paul who shouldve been latino. Atreides was a mediterranean/latino type society.

But yea good effects, sound and pacing as well...

6-10 but it needs its second half.

jimmyboy · Oct 23, 2021, 09:23 PM

"V", the original 80s series. Just started and so far it's good but irritating in how gullible humans are. "Oh look, there's a sudden, unannounced fleet of hundreds of giant carrier ships that took over the air space of all our major metropolitan areas. But they said they come in peace so let's believe them."

Idiots.

Greasy · Oct 23, 2021, 09:23 PM

The new Dune was very good. Glad I watched the original first. They really changed it up enough to make it fresh, and left plenty of room for the second movie. 9/10 for me.

well the 80s had some cringeworthy series, but they still have that certain kind of charme

Dune - as close to 10/10 as I've ever seen. Incredible movie, glad we saw it in the theater.

We traveled an hour just to see it in a Cinemark XD theater. We are so glad we did. The sound and music (Hans Zimmer) were incredible. The scene with the Sardaukar initiates... haunting.

I get that they had to clean up some of the Harkonnen lore. The Baron was a pedophile after all.
