You know that definitely could be it I guess. The special effects I feel like were not good enough to make a movie like the original Star Wars so it just looked and felt way, way too corny for me.
I imagine if I watched 1984 Dune it would be super duper cheese. [Reply]

I'm sure it sucks. Trying to create great Sci-Fi without the processing power we have this century is a tall task.
Oh look, their ship is just hurdling thru space right now!!

"Dune 2(IMAX)": an audiovisual spectacle the likes of which not seen since "1917", featuring an uncompelling pair of leads and a forgettable script [Reply]
I do wish we had gotten the poison blade sequence at the end, but DV actually made me believe he was going to kill Paul.
And just an incredible transition from Paul Atreides to Usul after the Water of Life sequence. Chamalet nailed it. The whole sequence with the Fremen council was spellbinding.
Only two criticisms:
Kinda wish we had gotten music when the giant sandworm breached during the mounting sequence, and the rest of the fremen climbing on board. I still prefer the '84 sequence.
Walken kinda sucked. I felt that role was miscast. [Reply]
I get why people don't like it, but I think it was played to great dramatic effect.
It will make their uniting again in Messiah that much stronger.
Oh no.
They Strong Womaned her, didn't they?
I mean damn, she wasn't some wilting daisy in the books. But yeah, I can probably guess what happened here - Didn't like him marrying Irulan and wasn't gonna be some Royal Consort so she peaced out.
I mean that was exactly what Jessica was and she's one of the strongest female characters in modern literary history but nope - can't have that in a modern blockbuster.... [Reply]

Nah it isn't that bad. Like it's not Rey level problems.
I'm interested to see where her character goes. [Reply]
