Just saw it last night, was excellent. I'll admit that at the end of part one I was uncertain whether Chalamet could convincingly pull off the latter half of Paul's arc, but he did a great job (and so did makeup/hair to make him look less babyfaced). Similarly, Rebecca Ferguson's part was a lot more prominent this time and she really nailed it. Easily my best theatre experience since... well, part one.  I do have one incredibly petty complaint, though: when Gurney got to get his revenge against Rabban, I was really hoping for a callback to the bagpipes part of the Atreides theme. I can see why they didn't go for it, but it still would've owned. Perestroika fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Didnt they still use bagpipes for that scene?, if the soundtrack is accurate to the film at least.

I knew Chalamet would pull off the authority and gravity after I saw The King. I didn’t think he’d be so scary though. A lot of terrific camerawork and sound design going into that. As for the spoilered part… I think that would have been too triumphant. I don’t think Denis wanted the vengeance to be very positive.

Heh, was thinking that Paul's giving me Revenge of the Sith Anakin vibes there, not unfittingly. And probably not unintentionally either. The babyface look kinda actually works with an unkempt appearance and piercing gaze for looking scary and unsettling. I love that they stuck with the hard monochrome aesthetic for Giedi Prime, even the fireworks are monochrome there. Just stylish as gently caress. Kinda funny how the Harkonnens look a lot different in Dune's less cooperative lighting, suggesting that they're out of their element. Also the Corrinos out of their peaceful, idyllic park. They definitely took a lot of liberties with the ending... though I feel like it mostly works. Definitely mostly to make it more cinematic, if you'll excuse my term, but well, I think Dennis would make no apologies for that. Wonder if there's meant to be some symbology to the focus on ants covering the Baron's corpse, with their monochrome insect appearance recalling the Harkonnen troops and general aesthetic themselves.

I feel bad correcting the use of symbology (partially because I know it’s cringe to be so anal about words but mostly because I hate that doing so reminds me of Boondocks Saints), but symbology is the study of symbols. The use of symbols is symbolism.

Paul and Gurney getting to have their personal revenge against the Harkonnens annoys me. Frank chose not to do that for good reason. Admittedly his chosen way of handling it was pretty silly.

I do like that Gurney is a lot more opinionated and active than he is in the book's final act, that's for sure.

If so, yes. If it’s just an IMAX branded screen that isn’t showing the full aspect ratio, not really. It’ll be bigger and louder than a typical screen but not a very different experience. Here’s a google map with the location of all screens showing the full IMAX format. You can check if yours is on there: https://www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1NPKQZXW4ElHXw0ghyTEbuNlNWGCX-oc&hl=ko

IMO more for the sound than the visuals, but also for the visuals. Man if not for external circumstances and this was out at the same time as Godzilla Minus One last year, the two might have done structural damage to IMAX movie houses from the subwoofers alone.

Aside from the soundtrack, the movie gets very close to some very big moving things, and feeling your entire seat rumble with the absurd bass really adds to it.

I don't have that super fancy imax near me (closest is hundreds of miles away). But I remember when I watched Oppenheimer there was a regular imax and a more fancy imax at a different theater. I guess I should look up what the technology actually is.

Arglebargle III posted:Can this be right? It shows only one imax theater in the Chicago area Yeah, it’s from IMAX’s own published list. There are surprisingly few projectors actually equipped for the full ratio worldwide. It requires either a 70mm print (only 12 exist) or the duel laser projectors (very few exist per-continent). There are other screens branded as IMAX, but as they’re single laser projectors they will only show a 1.90 ratio image (which due to how the film was shot actually winds up having the narrowest image of the three formats. It doesn’t have the extra vertical of 1.43 or the extra horizontal of 2.35). Most of those also have 6 channel audio, instead of the 12 channel audio of the classic format screens. For example, in my city there are five screens labeled as being IMAX. But only one screen in the entire country is actually showing the 1.43 IMAX image. It is possible that the 6 channel audio is better than your nearby screens though. Probably not if there are some solid Atmos setups, but maybe? Edit: Here's a visual guide to help clearly illustrate the difference between standard/1.90 imax/true 1.43 imax ratios:  And a youtube video briefly showing how the different ratios were handled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHnMbKIxhv4 (He's wrong about the camera format... but otherwise the information is correct) Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Feb 29, 2024 |

I'm curious whether there's a disclaimer

I think I am in the camp of, the Harkonnen look silly in all white. Like we know they are wearing white paint, but the Baron soaks in some black liquid? Keeping the Harkonnen as human might make them more of a threat. They seemed too cartoony in the bad way and not threatening at all in the Dune 2.

Part 2 has the normal 15 minutes of previews before, right? Skipping out of work early to see it, and want to get the popcorn and all that lined up. I know it's a long movie, so who knows if they keep all the previews or not.

I know it's a long movie, so who knows if they keep all the previews or not. Seat selection in advance was perhaps the greatest invention of mankind. I do not miss the days when a blockbuster release meant showing up with friends an hour early to claim good seats and then sit through an endless slideshow, then commercials, then previews, etc.

I saw this tuesday night, it's easily a better movie than the first. More spectacular and confident, and the characters and intrigue felt a bit meatier too. My quibbles are mostly that the Emperor falling right into Paul's trap doesn't feel very earned, and Stilgar lays it on a bit thick with his faith in Paul, including a part which is straight out of Life of Brian. No Luck Needed posted:I think I am in the camp of, the Harkonnen look silly in all white. Like we know they are wearing white paint, but the Baron soaks in some black liquid? Keeping the Harkonnen as human might make them more of a threat. They seemed too cartoony in the bad way and not threatening at all in the Dune 2. I think DUNC 2 did an okay job with them. They're classic villains increasingly overwhelmed by forces beyond their control. I must say though that I laughed seeing Feyd does the "lick my blade to show how craaazy I am" bit but it fits the exaggerated tone of the movie. OTOH I agree that Batista was given little to do, but so was Walken. It's an ensemble movie with too large a cast to give every actor their chance to shine.

I know it's a long movie, so who knows if they keep all the previews or not. Depends on the cinema but I wouldn't risk it, especially for a midnight showing. I saw Part 1 on opening weekend on a proper (commercial) IMAX screen and they only had 10 minutes of trailers - by the time some people were arriving, they were already on Arrakis.

YaketySass posted:My quibbles are mostly that the Emperor falling right into Paul's trap doesn't feel very earned This was my big problem with the third act. I saw it two days ago and I'm still sure I must have missed something because it was baffling how ALL the bad guys just voluntarily set themselves up for such an obvious trap in the middle of an open area. And was it necessary for all of them to be there? You'd think they leave some important people behind just in case it was a set up so they could have some back up. It can't be explained just by "yeah well they were blinded by their overconfidence and arrogance" because with such a lovely strategic mindset how could they have ever gotten so big in the first place? I hope someone can explain this to me because I really believe I missed some important plot point/dialogue that made it clearer and it's not the film's fault. Or if someone can tell me how it happened in the book because I haven't read it and I'm genuinely interested. Thanks!

not trolled not crying posted:I hope someone can explain this to me because I really believe I missed some important plot point/dialogue that made it clearer and it's not the film's fault. In the books, Rabban's death is a 1-sentence report. I always saw that as a miss from Herbert. The Baron is killed by Alia because he didn't have time to fully grasp that she's a fully sentient adult in a toddler's body. I'm ok with the first retcon because it was sorely missing in the book but the second one is a big departure from the plot.
