Dune is a beautiful interpretation of the novel. The scenes he sacrificed gave room to a deep world full of nuance, detail and intensity. A profound visual and auditory experience on iMax.

Glad to hear from someone who read the book! Thanks!

@@PaulChapelMagic The movie experience blew my mind. I haven't felt this from a movie in a long long time.

[@PaulChapelMagic]

@@baraka99 Me as well. Science Fiction has been pretty stagnant, but this felt cool and new.

agree that Patrick Steward did Gurney better; more theatrical dialogue

[@PaulChapelMagic]

I have a greater appreciation for the David Lynch movie mpw. Another thing that I should have mentioned is that the music in the Lynch version was more memorable than this version, but it was still a superior film in almost every other way.

@@PaulChapelMagic i walked out the cinema this movie looks good but is trash

[@PaulChapelMagic]

@@obscuresoundz Why do you think it's trash? Explain please.

[@obscuresoundz]

@@PaulChapelMagic film pace was an issue; the wrong scenes were drawn out; while other scenes needed to develop characters were short or cut; some of the dialogue was poor, alot of coincidental plot developments made certain aspects of story telling appear lazy, i'd say from the invasion inwards the movie got bad so I left, it was passable up until that point.

[@PaulChapelMagic]

@@obscuresoundz Ok, I agree that some of the dialogue wasn't stellar, but I didn't know if it was representative of the book or not. I did point out the scene with Gurney and how it was better in the David Lynch version, but movies are primarily a visual experience and dialogue is notoriously hard to write because people aren't that articulate in real life, so anything you do write as dialogue will be the most contrived thing in any movie. Thanks for sharing!

I stop watching when he said that Denis Villeneuve is a strange name. Wtf

[@PaulChapelMagic]

It's a normal name? Since when? Maybe in France.

I still like the original
