First off, I have no idea why people liked Avatar.
Secondly, as someone who hasn't read the Dune books, or really knew nothing about this until I sat down to watch, I was pleasantly surprised. It felt Star Wars-ish - not in a bad way. There were some slow moving parts, but overall I really enjoyed it. My only complaint was that my wife & I were really getting into it and then..... it's over. :-) [Reply]
Loved it. My favorite film of this year and doubt it'll be topped. It was great to see this sci fi epic in theaters. And I can give it a re watch on HBO Max whenever I want to pick out things I may have missed.
9/10
(I still think Blade Runner 2049 is the superior film but what Vileneuve pulled off here with Dune was incredible too ) Can't wait for Part 2
Here's how I'd rank Denis Villeneuve's filmography

I like the way you think. I disagree slightly on the first two, though. I enjoyed the shit out of 2049 but Dune took me to places very few movies have. [Reply]

As someone who not only didn't read the book but didn't even know about it's existence until this movie was announced, I really liked it. Sucks having to wait 2 years for part 2 though.
I think it's also interesting that I found 2049 kind of boring while I was into this movie the whole time even while knowing it was only half a story. [Reply]

Same.
I didn't know Villanueve (or whatever) did Arrival. I didn't really like that movie either, but loved Sicario and Prisoners. [Reply]
So the books are somewhat independent of each other in that the this two part movie is based on only the first book and will still have a satisfactory conclusion? [Reply]
