By RAThasReturned Go To Post1 week from now, ~3PM Pacific, I'll be in the theater for Dune: Part Two. I'm incredibly interested in how it will handle all the new characters and the context surrounding the visual flair that I remember from the first teaser.
A week from now? Why are you seeing it so late?

Once again, the biblical solemnity of Villeneuve’s approach — along with the tactile brutalism of his design — have combined into a Timothée Chalamet movie that shimmers with the patina of an epic myth. And once again, the awesome spectacle that Villeneuve mines from all that scenery is betrayed by the smallness of the human drama he stages against it, with the majesty of the movie’s first hour desiccating into the stuff of pure tedium as Paul Atreides struggles to find his voice amid the visions that compel him forward. It’s a struggle that “Dune: Part Two” continues to embody all too well.damn. banger confirmed

damn. banger confirmed
ROTK probably my least favorite. Still around the same level of quality but they leaned even harder into the CG and that's aged the worst of the three. Those elephant scenes especially
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostA week from now? Why are you seeing it so late?Those of us in America who don't have critic screen access have to wait until Thursday afternoon at the earliest.

It’s being shown on Sunday due to fan fest screening. Fake fans not buying those tickets the moment they went on sale
Watching cop land, begining to realize if I watch any 90s crime based movie I'm going to see at least 5 sopranos actors

Just caught dune 1 for the first time. This is incredible sci fi man, thought this would be shit like blade runner but looks and sounds incredible. Big big fan only criticism which isn't really one, at 2 and half hours it feels very tip of the ice berg.
I cannot believe Denis went hard as fuck on the more extremist parts of the book.
Dude was not going to let Paul off the hook and wait for Messiah to clear up what kind of person Paul is.

Hyped.
Have my ticket for Dune Part One on Thursday. Will be the third time I see it in the cinema and fifth time overall, which is crazy because I don't tend to rewatch films.

6 more days until Dune Part Two in Imax.
Almost pulled the trigger on the Marathon Imax setup with both movies but 6 hours in those seats, no thanks.

By WoodenLung Go To PostPoor things is outthanks for letting me know
I think Dune II was fully filmed in 1.43(only a few scenes were in the 1st) so I might just wait till Sunday so I can watch non-cropped at the Laser SSJ3 IMAX which is thankfully nearby.
Manhattan has one of the few proper 70MM IMAXes but it's quite a trek for me to get there. Decisions, decisions.
Rewatched Dune. First viewing since cinema.
Not quite as good this time round; I don’t have the set up at home to replicate the cinematic experience (my ceiling TV m8s) so shit like the first sandworm attack which was genuinely chill-inducing first time round didn’t affect me so much here. I also think Chalamet is miscast; he has to tone down his natural charisma too much, but also be believable as someone that people would follow into battle. When Isaac dies, the narrative loses a lot of its propulsion (props to a never-better Momoa for trying though).
Wish it had a bit more heart and emotional draw; it feels very cold and clinical. By the time the hobbits leave the Shire, I’m fully invested in them. The film keeps Paul at such a distance, and there’s inherent flaw of him being the anointed engineered chosen one which means he isn’t quite so relatable and endearing. I appreciate that this all makes far more sense in the context of Part 2, so perhaps retrospectively the build up is worthwhile for the pay off.
Looks and sounds incredible, though. #tactility. 7/10

Himothée comes through big time during part 2, the whole cast does to be fair.Wish it had a bit more heart and emotional draw; it feels very cold and clinical.

Mescal is probably going to be great in Gladiator 2 but Butler might have delivered an all-time perfomance if him playing Feyd-Rautha is any indication.
Watched in IMAX yesterday. Going to watch it in 70mm at the local cinema Thursday.
