Pictures as a sleeping pill
I am very glad that i did not see this movie in the cinema, because there I would not have had the chance to fast forward the first 90 minutes. The movie is incredilby long winded and actually, there's no reason for that.
Nonetheless, I gotta admit, some scenes were shot beautifully and had a unique style. That part liked very much. But Dune is definitely not my cup of tea when it comes to being liked as a holistic movie experience.
There are too many things I found pretty much annoying like mentioned before regarding the long winded storytelling, the noisy weird sound and the uninspired acting. I don't understand the hype on this movie at all.
Sure, it's not your average cinema sci-fi flick but it's certainly not a masterpiece either. And as for the ucomping Part Two; No thanks, I'm not gonna waste another 2.5 hours of my life for such a nonsense. - gillmurphydogg - 30 December 2022
Good film - looking forward to round 2
As a reader of Frank Herbert's Dune, I thought this was a decent homage to the book. It's a good film, but the pacing was slow. It's true to the book but there are moments where reading a page from the actual book would be more immersive. There were moments where I was left wondering "when are they going to get on with it?"
The acting and cinematography were spectacular, but what can you expect with a top tier director and all-star cast? The score was amazing, but Hans Zimmer has a track record of formulaic but amazing music that really sets the tone.
I can't wait to see the 2nd instalment, notably seeing more of the Harkonnen.
