Could give a fuck about Avatar, but as for Dune, I'm very cautiously optimistic. It's the same director that did the new Blade Runner movie, which I loved.
Maybe he'll get it right. Maybe he has enough respect/reverence for the source material not to fuck it up. Maybe there won't be stupid shit like weirding modules and heart plugs. Maybe the Baron will actually be sinister instead of ridiculous. And maybe the desert scenes won't look like they were filmed in an abandoned warehouse with a couple of dump truck loads of sand like the Sci-Fi series.

I really don't understand what is so bad about it. It's James Cameron near his best. And there is so much they can do with it for sequels.
Cause it's alien Pocahontas.
The visuals are really cool though if you have a good set up. That's basically the only reason I'll end up watching the 2nd one. Just to see how far Cameron takes the visuals and how much bigger they make that world. [Reply]

This. I find Costner extremely grating and annoying so never watched Dance with Wolves. Who cares if it's about "Outerspace Aliens", I love SciFi. [Reply]

So I read back through this complete thread. I previously posted how blown away I was by the special effects for when they came out and how meh the plot was.
If all you got is special effects, that doesn't usually age well. Not too many think the King Kong from the 30's or Godzilla films from the 50's are the all time cinematic masterpieces of that era. [Reply]
