Will be Villeneuve's 4th scifi classic in a row. Arrival, BR2049, Dune P1 & P2

Denis has put out nothing but classics. His catalogue is getting crazy. 'Prisoners' and 'Sicario'

Could end up being the GOAT. Only one of his that I wasn't a huge fan of is Enemy, but I need to give it a rewatch. Everything else has been incredible.

I'm seeing this with my dad when it comes out
over Christmas break he was talking about the whole series
he knew everything about it and is excited as hell for this
I never saw him talk about that with any other property before. comic books were the closest

Christmas!?

This shyt looked good but was boring as fukk. I assume yall hyped cause this some shyt from the 1985 book fair yall loved or something lol. Im in for pt 2 but i hope its a little more amped

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

I just actually copped tickets, almost every single showing was nearly sold out. No middle seats. I’m hoping far right seats won’t be too bad of an angle considering the screen is so massive.

I’m seeing it with my dad first and then again with my girlfriend. Definitely a Dad movie. He was about 16 when the first book came out and read them all as they were originally released.

I live in a shyt area of the country where there are actually no legitimate real IMAX screens in the entire state. We drove 2 hours for Dune Part 1 to experience it in real IMAX, we’ll be doing the same for Part 2 he’s hyped.

He told me the other day that he thought Dune Messiah was almost better than Dune, so I’m hoping Denis gets to make it.

Are you guys brothers or should we all be seeing this with our dads

I guess it's just that type of franchise that works for older men

I mean... 'Madame Web' is a complete flop but yeah that's decent for a re-release.

Dunno how/why people saying the first one runs out of energy after 90 minutes or is poorly paced. That film is very well done and rips from beginning to end.

My brother tried to say it builds up to nothing, I told him it was a water down version of Foundation but still pretty pulpy.

He refuses to see Oppenheimer because that movie jumps around too much.

I like Dune way more than Foundation, novel wise. But I get your point. I haven't seen the Foundation TV show tho.


I guess I can see why the ending wasn't popular with some point but it's still a pretty traditional "one adventure ends, another begins" ending. I'd compare it to the ending of Fellowship Of The Ring in that regard.

I didn't love the ending either but I knew it wasn't really the "ending" as it was only Part 1. I don't think there's a perfect way to end it with that being the case.
