I mean they are basically the same thing. Two slow sci-fi films where Denis Villeneuve puts the most emphasis on world building, scale & mood

It’s just that BR2049 has the better OST/score, more vibrant color grading, a lil bit more interesting characters (the female villain >>>>) and more memorable cinematography

Something that also helps ofc is that BR2049 was a solitary experience with a satisfying ending, while Dune is only part of the full experience

TLDR: BR2049 and Dune are very similar in execution by Villeneuve but BR2049 is more memorable, have we just been spoiled by getting that film before seeing Dune?

Im not saying Dune isnt great on its own but Denis just did a similar thing already and better

agreed

2049 is eons better then Dune

That being said Dune is the first part of a grander story.

and both have completely different aesthetics going for them overall.

Just like Arrival and Sicario (both two films that i also prefer over Dune)

Dune is >>>>>>> 2048

Why?

2048 is just a Blade Runner rehash. Ridleys is much better.

Dune is more original and overall a better movie.

if Dune wasn't released during a pandemic it would get more love

Dune is the better movie tho

What Denis did with 2048 is impressive, sequels don’t usually pan out

But it’s in the shadow of the original and can’t come out of it

Dune Pt. 1 is just a great prologue to what is about to come, either way it wouldn't have gotten more love
More hype of course, Pt. 2 is gonna break some records for sure

2049 beats the dog s*** out of the first BR

2 blassics

Lol

Dune lowkey one of the best movies i ever seen

i still need to see BR2049

I don't get what the argument is tho? How is "love" being measured

Dune outperformed BR2049 substantially while also releasing in a pandemic. And it only told about 40-45% of the story its adapting. There's not really thaaaat much concrete fandom of BR2049 among general audiences

It has the love already

Dune def. more casual friendly.

What

A lot of scenes were literally in Lynch version of Dune

Can’t say the same for BR2049 which was just set in the same universe

I respect your opinion if you prefer one over the other but this explanation is not it fam

but didnt dune got more love and commercial success than br2049?

He has no idea what he is talking about tbh

BR2077

I could have worded it in another way but i felt like even tho Dune got love it felt “expected”

We already knew it was gonna be good given Denis Villeneuve history, especially with BR2049 being a similar project and being so good

I just felt like Dune would have been more exciting if it came before BR

first blade runner a snooze fest but go off
