| curl-6 said: Finally got around to seeing the movie itself; thought it was just as brilliant as the first part. Visually stunning, well acted, epic in scope and masterfully directed. It definitely deserves its box office success, and Villeneuev continues to prove himself one of the most skilled directors working today. |
Glad to see someone around here finally talking about this movie. Was a very emotional experience for me in the theater, especially since I've read the book three times. The sandworm scene had me in tears, I'm not ashamed to admit. I've always liked aspects of the Lynch version (casting, tone, set design) but I'm so glad to see the actual story (with its core message intact) come to life, albeit with some changes which I think Denis has earned the right to make.
I've watched it in a regular theater and in an Imax Lite and both experiences were incredibly moving. I hope we get a third part to finish out Paul's arc. And even more so, I hope we eventually get Children of Dune, but Denis has said he has no interest in anything beyond Messiah.
