Big s Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 It’s definitely hard to see the blue. If you hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t have noticed. Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Zendaya is nowhere near as attractive as Sean Young 😍 Quote
electric indigo Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Ok but Zendaya looks more convincingly like a 14 year old. Quote

Chani in the novels is 15 at the start of Dune(16 if you follow the prequel timeline) then 17(or 18) by the end and is physically described as a skinny redhead with all blue eyes. So far no adaptation has gotten this right. Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Looks great but will bomb in the theater just like Blade Runner: 2049 did, ugh!!! Quote
Dobber Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Looks great! But I fear TangledThornes may be right. Quote
jealous37 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 The actual footage does the blue-within-blue of the eyes better than those posters from earlier in the week. Glad to see that's looking better. The baron doesn't look big enough to me. I always imagined him so big he had to use the suspensors to move around, as in his legs were no longer physically able to hold him he was so big. The movies never seem to get that detail right to me. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Yeah, that looks pretty good so far, I'm in for a watch. Maybe even in a theatre, if they still exist. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Definitely going to take advantage of my existing HBO Max subscription and watch this at home, but certain movies beg to be seen in theaters. This is one, so I'll be there on opening night. -b. Quote
electric indigo Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 LOVE the art direction, it's like those 80s SF book covers come to life. Quote
Dynaman Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Another one to watch in IMAX if it is released that way. (should be). Quote
CoryHolmes Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 I'm intrigued by this, but I have to admit that the Miniseries Baron has been the best Baron so far. I really hope this new Baron is more like him than like the Lynch version. Quote

Oh, so it is being released this year? Didn’t occur to me that it would be that way. I thought 22 meant the year since they weren’t sure if cinemas would be open in Fall 2021. I will definitely go see it on the big screen. Hopefully with popcorn and pop. 😁 Quote

The last movie I saw in theatres was... *Endgame* I want to say? I don't watch movies very often, and rarely in theatres even before the pandemic hit. I'll make an exception for *Dune*, though. Quote
Big s Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 I’ve been to the theaters a few times this year. I think the first one we checked out was Nobody. I actually enjoy paying that extra to get out of the house and make a day of the movies. I’ll probably check this one out on the big screen rather than sit at home. 2020 made me sick of home and I’m glad to be out and about. Going to the O.C. Fair tomorrow to make up for lost time eat some horrible food that I’ll regret later Quote

danth Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 I watched the trailer. Looks really dumb if I'm being honest. Quote

danth Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 To be more specific, what really made me laugh was the scene where they're all fighting with swords and the main guy stabs someone, then stops in the middle of battle to open his visor and try to look badass. And all the silly pseudo-religious wailing/singing. Who knows if the movie will be good or bad. But the trailer seemed pretty cheesy IMO. Quote

If you’re not familiar with Dune, I can definitely forgive you that perception. However it does deal heavily with religion/prophecy, they fight with bladed weapons because personal shields have made projectile weapons obsolete, the scene with Paul lifting his visor is likely from a vision, or the closing scenes of the movie revealing his transformation. Assuming the adaptation is well done it will be action packed, and very deep fate of humanity in the universe type of stuff. Anyway, it’s not a “light” movie. Quote
Big s Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 If I remember right they had to have special training to even be able to break through the shields. I remember it being like they almost had to meditate or something along those lines. Quote

The shields reject anything over a certain velocity, so training to both strike just slow enough to penetrate the shield, plus training to be able to actually hit someone with such a slow strike. From the early lessons with Gurney, there’s a focus on feints and counters. Quote

From the opening on Caladan in the 1984 movie, Gurney Hallack and Paul dueled; Gurney told Paul "Good...the slow blade penetrates the shield" (1:46): Quote
