Mood and world building over plot just like the OG masterpiece

Two classics of the sci-fi genre

Deakins, Debie & Lubezki my favorite cinematographers atm

I’d take Annihilation over Ex Machina every day

Villeneuve doesnt have the soul

It was there 100% sorry to hear you didnt like it

No one else in mainstream cinema is touching him. 2049 is deliberately soulless but Dune was on point with the Middle Eastern allusions

ngl (atm anyways) i prefer dune: pt 1 to br2049

might be cuz of the theater experience tho cuz i didn't get watch br2049 in theater like i did dune LOL

we'll see how i feel w/ the other part(s) tho

Love that movie

Absolutely it did it on 50 million budget too

some star power but didnt rely on it with great performances

The plot in Dune is nothing special. BR49 is much better plot wise and visually. And the main character. Also those short films. Dune isn't touching it

SO WHAT YALL ARE SAYING IS YOU OVERRATED DUNE BASED ON HYPE, GROUP THINK AND IMAX HIGH

Not me. Its just ok. I gave it a 6.5 I think

BR2049 had me in the first half, blew a 30 point lead in the second

This is accurate for me i think

@Backlava YOU SEE THIS

crazy accurate

Dune and BR2049 both had uninteresting lead protagonists. I understand why with BR given what his character is.

The Birthday cake scene still my favorite scene in BR tho

DID YOU SEE IT IN IMAX WITH POPCORN SOBER ?

I saw it on my TV

your review and opinion is not valid IT WAS MADE FOR IMAX BRO GO SEE IT IN IMAX NOW

The story was just ok. Imax wouldn't change that
