let's talk Dune - spoilers included

Ok, I think Dune part II is going to be big enough to have it's own thread... let's get to it now that the film is out.

What did you think?
Who wants in, but might wait?

I saw it on a full size (but not IMAX) screen... some of the sound and scale certainly says SEE IT IN THEATRE!

Movie is pretty epic... there are some serious aww moments. The emperor's ship is pretty awesome flying in.. and the fight sequences are great.

I do have one quip tho... how somehow great house battles are big one and done... while supposedly they are controlling half a planet... lol

Seeing it tomorrow afternoon. Very excited. I’ve read the book many times. Actually really like aspects of David Lynch’s version. Part 1 was beautiful and I enjoyed it but missed a lot of the character stuff from the book. Hopeful and looking forward to tomorrow.

It was a well made movie, but I felt that it took to long to get to the finale and then spent to little time on it once it got there.

Big drawback of planned ‘chapter’ films :/

I have to agree. I really felt that you have to be REALLY into Dune to totally have gotten absorbed by it.
