I am so fucking excited! I loved the first part. I also lived the mini series scifi channel did back in the early 2000s

That series tried to be so true to the books, but just didn't have the acting muscle behind it to really shine.

I do love it though.

The scale of this looked fucking epic, I can't wait to go see it!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is definitely one that I absolutely must watch in the theater. I can't wait!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's the first non-marvel move other than Oppenheimer that I'm truly geeked for.

Like, I'm a huge Ant-Man fan, (we do exist) but even for Quantumania, I was.... Rightfully cautious..

But I don't feel that way about Dune and... Christopher Nolan movies.

It's a nice change of pace to not have the trepidation.

I dunno. I kind of felt cheated after the first one. It was good, but it was half a movie.

I’ll probably watch this one at home on bluray or whatever so I can watch both parts in one sitting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No one is going to sit through a 5-6 hour movie. Well. Most people won't. They broke it at the perfect moment. While I wasn't initially thrilled about the long wait between both halves, it does add a sense of realism in that time has passed in the real world too and the younger actors might look a bit older now. They weren't shy about it being only part of the adaptation either.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

They could have released them 2 weeks apart (which is still too much) or just skipped the theatrical release so you can watch the 5-6 hour movie at your pace. People regularly binge through entire seasons of TV series on Netflix.

I agree that you don’t want to be in the theater for that long, but who says movies have to be released in cinemas? Watching at home is a much better experience than even the best cinemas can offer.

I'm so fucking hyped for this! I hope that some theaters will present a double feature

[–] Minyaden 1 points 1 year ago

I'd imagine some major chains will. I'm probably going to see it at the drive in though, since they always do a double feature for this kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

My pulse rate shot up to near double while watching this thing.

Gurney!

I forgot this movie existed. I guess I will have to watch part 2

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Throwing my hype in the comments here as well. Went in blind to the first movie and loved it. Can't wait for more

[–] sovietafro 5 points 1 year ago

My once-a-year foray into the movie theaters will be in THE LARGEST IMAX SCREENING AVAILABLE. November can get here faster And Villeuenue is working on Dune: Messiah as well, the man is saving sci-fi cinema by himself

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, I forgot. I still have like 150 pages to read. Cheers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd bet you still have 5 more books to add to your reading list...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hope this one is as fun as the first one was on acid!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

i still don't understand why Geidi Prime just missed out on that whole "color" concept

also why the fuck does the trailer spoil so much, you know what part I'm referring to.

but still I'm hyped as fuck for this, I was prompted to read the book thanks to the first movie, and i only have the appendix left, such an awesome ~~and long~~ book.

[–] ArtVandelay12 2 points 1 year ago

I had always meant to get around to reading the books, but then the movie came out so I watched that first. Anyway it's an amazing world and I immediately started reading the books as well and I love those too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Watching this trailer makes me want to watch part one again, shame I don't own it! Better start looking for a cheap copy in 4K.
