What's your review of Dune?

I'll add that as an army soldier, I appreciated the sci-fi interpretation of parades and military ceremonies. The odd juxtaposition of the futuristic space crafts and the wail of the bagpipes highlighted the anachronistic feel.

Also, I sympathised with Paul Atreides when he has to don the galla uniform instead of one of the more comfortable uniform types 😁

Bonus info: the name "Landsraadet" is Danish/Norwegian and means "The National Council" or similar.

Just dont fancy this one, sadly

I saw it in IMAX and I thought it was an amazing visual spectacle. It's coming back to IMAX on Dec 3, so I'd highly recommend seeing it then if you haven't seen it yet or haven't seen it in IMAX.

In terms of the movie, I was thrown off by the ending, which seemed kind of abrupt. I had this weird feeling where I felt like the movie was too long (because it's legitimately a long movie) and that it was too short because it ends so abruptly (because this is just Part I, after all). I also felt like Chalamet didn't have the gravitas to carry a movie, especially an action movie. He's a great actor, but I feel like he can only be a great actor in a smaller, more drama-focused movie.

Also, I was kind of disappointed because it wasn't as good as some of Villeneuve's other movies. Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Prisoners, and Arrival are all amazing movies.

Loved it, and this analysis of the film’s vfx and lighting/cinematography made my second watching even better.
