eh
boring, plus the sand Black person terminology gave the world its charm and different feel to other sci-fi shit. I really enjoyed all those naibs, jihads etc.
I probably don't want them to adapt Messiah and Children, they will botch it even more.
Classic example of fake liberals destroying nonwhite voices in order to martyr them from the clutches of white language.
I’m reading a decent anthropology book which makes the argument that a lot of American libertarianism comes from native Americans, but conservatives ignored that and leftists/fake liberals all assumed it was just Jesuit missionaries putting gnostic arguments in their mouths, i.e. ignoring their agency as humans
>decent anthropology book
David Graeber hasn’t written a decent anything
After reading the book I find it all so overrated
the book came out in 1965 anon, other things are derivatives of it, it's not over rated
zoomers can't think like that
Book 1 has not withstood the test of time, mostly because it inspired pretty much the entire scifi genre. I wasn't a fan the first time I read it. The rest of the series is great though.
>The rest of the series is great though.
Black person what?
The first book almost the only good one. Messiah is just an epilogue for it and Children is just bad.
Although Emperor is pretty good too
Some of it. Mostly the architecture was disappointing
Nope. Dune looks like Lynch's adaptation to me.
i liked both the mini series and the movie but neither were what i imagined while reading the books
I read the books right after seeing Lynch's Dune so it was impossible for me to imagine anything different, unless of course it was something that wasnt shown in the film. Stuff like the suspensor lamps and Atreides ships I will forever imagine as having that art deco style because of the movie, but something like say, the Face Dancers, that werent shown I have my own idea of what they look like.
All I care about is that my boy is in part 2
No it looked utterly generic. All that shitty bland CGI. And all the family friendly PG action scenes were pathetic.
The studio butchered this bloody movie.
Yeah
Not even close
no
Eh. Expected more "The Sabre of Paradise" influence.
Man Zendaya is so miscast as Chani. She's a sticc playing a traditional warrior woman who loves her emperor. Jessica is spot on though. Ferguson carried the movie. The bigger question is how they'll handle Alia.
here is your alia, bro
Kinda, actually. Once I read the book I realized nothing in it suggested things looking as outlandish as the Lynch movie.
Though expected the desert to feel more... sunny? This movie had some weird grey-blue filter on all the time and that just didn't seem right for the setting.
>Noooo you can't depict a stark and brutally pragmatic setting like the books described!!! How am I supposed to pay attention if there aren't more colors???
Do Lynch-only fans really?
No it was much more colorful and fantastical in my mind.
Absolutely.
No, this is
Looks comfy.
Lots of sand? Yeah.
I wanted the sand world to look golden and blazing orange, giant golden dunes, I wanted it to look hot like an exotic alien desert under a sapphire colored sky, not grey and brown and overcast and more sludgy grey
Arrakis legitimately looked like the animators and modellers forgot to do half the work. Arrakeen looks as if they made the generic first layer of what should be a very detailed diorama but just stopped. Like they built the base-shapes for a 3D model and then just added generic gunmetal shading and called it a day. The deserts look flat, grey, utterly colorless. There is no beauty in Arrakis, it is the antithesis of what Duncan Idaho states it to be.
I imagine it would look like a beautiful but harsh desert, not a bunch of barf.
I know Lawrence is one of the greatest films of all time, but even just a fraction of this artistry would have been enough. Anything that isn't endless shades of brown!
I need to rewatch that
boring and soulless, Roger Deakins could’ve saved it though.
No, it was SOULLESS boring slog. They cut down so much of the muslim fanatics and psychodelic shit like Paul mental struggle. Rebecca ferguson was perfect though
Keen
The costuming (minus the still suits) was fantastic.
The rest is forgettable.
Except the thopters. Finally get great thopters but an uninspired film.
>a planet so hot only the northern and southern poles are habitable (and then just barely)
>where the people cover themselves head to toe in suits designed to mechanically retrieve every picoliter of expended water
All that soft metal should have burned into her skin.
>minus the still suits
homie what?
THIS is what Dune looks like:
No, but it wasn't terrible. I'm not that enamoured of movie takes on books. They bugger around with the story too much in my opinion.
Do you think God Emperor could even be adapted to film?
I think Villaneove's use of washed-out colors worked. It was better than some dude who gets high on his own farts imposing some kind of clownish, hokey, desperate "artistic vision" on you. Which is why the Jabberwocky's Dune would have been a huge piece of shit, and why Lynch Dune wasn't good.
I had a easier time merging my imaginary Dune with Villanove. Not a harder time. Because it was quieter, not louder.
You fat kids expected better because you don't go outside. Frick you. I live in southern Utah. It's both beautiful and bleak and gray and dirt-colored.

They should have made the bristles blue so that the the mouth looks like a blue iris, thus highlighting the the worms' relationship with the spice (and also making it look less like a gaping anus). Huge wasted opportunity.
the spice was like a mossy green color
why would their teeth be made out of spice
Isn't the spice more a reddish color? And just turns people's eyes blue?
except spice makes your eyes blue not your mouth or teeth.
>buh muh symbology
die homosexual.
Dune is not really able to be translated to the screen and this movie went about it in the worst way. It's only going to get worse in the sequels as all the things they left out will compound as the story goes along.
>mystery meat everywhere
Of course not.
Only National Socialists could reach the stars.
couldn't even reach 20 years
I imagined most of it looking very arabic. Most of the city a densely populated low class exotic place (but in a comfy way). For some reason i also imaged most lighting coming from lit torches even if it's a futuristic setting. The vehicles and machines more like big bulky ugly things, The spice harvesters kind of like smaller Sandcrawlers. In my head it made sanse that everything on the planet would be rundown and shitty to drive the point of how their trade for Arrakis resoures came with a loss of the luxury and comfort they were used to on Caladan.
I watched dune twice, the second time with this theory in mind. When Paul is normal the colors are very dull and flat. When Paul is hallucinating/on spice the world is much more vibrant. I wouldn’t be surprised if the world gets more colorful as paul takes more and more spice
I liked the movie's version of the ornithopters, but the armor and architecture was way too minimalistic.
"Chronicles of Riddick" unironically did a better version of the Harkonnen/Sardaukar invasion of Arrakis.
>minimalistic
it makes more sense for a desert, the more detail and ornamental the architecture is the more cleaning you have to do, minimalistic means less cleaning and better at reflecting heat and better at withstanding dust storms.
It always pisses me off when people shit on The Chronicles of Riddick. That movie had some flaws yes, but in other aspects, it was faaar ahead of its time.
extremely forgettable movie
wasnt expecting the armies to fight in the manaan suits from kotor
Actually, yeah.
nope, they had to go and pozz it making it about muh minorities and half the cast have the acting abilities of a plank of wood lol
>pozz it
Black person the entire book is influenced by islamic jihad
anyways I read the book in anticipation for the film, after having seen Lynch’s adaptation, and I gotta say I love the cinematography in the establishing shots for DUNC but up close it tends to look flat and indecipherable. even in the theatre I couldn’t tell that there were prisoners being bled out on tables during the scene on Selusa Secundis. not to mention the stillsuits are stupid and DUNC should’ve been brave enough to try and do them correctly aka making them sand colored. I think it would’ve been even more creative if they just literally keyed out the fremen when they were cloaked in the stillsuits and only revealed slivers of them during dialog scenes. when I read the book I definitely imagined more vibrant colors for the Atreides and Harkkonnens, but I guess everything has to have this dark color graded look in Villenueve’s films.
one thing I will absolutely credit DUNC for just straight up improving over the book is doing a better job of writing exposition. the constant cycling of thought narratives in Dune make it insufferable to read, as Herbert has to pause every scene to elaborate the private thoughts of every single fricking character present, where DUNC did a good job of seamlessly sewing that into character dialog. it did so well at it I wish I could see the 5 hour cut that Momoa talked about
I found the exposition through dialogue to be entirely unnatural and jarring. It felt like the characters were talking to the audience instead of to each other.
no, but we are never getting the real dune so this is good enough.
>Zendaya
I'm tired of seeing that mutt in every fricking thing.
Closer than the tv series or the lynch movie, that's for sure
>World of Warcraft in space but not StarCraft
Not at all. I expected grimy large ships that use unreliable tech like 40k. It's too clean.
People thinking Dune is supposed to be like some sort of 1001 Arabian Nights with extravagant golden flourishes just straight up did not read the book.
Even Caladan looks like a drab, colorless shit hole. Stop pretending the books described everything as a gray and brown dump
Starring actors instead of planks of wood
The syfy miniseries was better. Better Paul, better Leto, better Baron Harkonnen, better costumes, even if people say it's like a high school play, frick it, I don't care, the dumbass costumes fit the setting, it looks extremely futuristic and bizarre, and the action scenes were pretty decent as well. You'll never convince me that SYFY dune miniseries sucked. That said, I did like the new movie alot.
No, Jodorowsky said it way better than I did when he called it "Industrial Filmmaking".
i want to see the 12 hour dune by Jodorowsky
No, there were way too many black people.
How can you imagine how something looks? let alone a book. fricking autists
i never read the books and i thought it was good.
was the MC actually the messiah in the books? or just a lie spread by the mom?
>MC actually the messiah in the books? or just a lie spread by the mom?
Both.
The Bene Gesserit spread seeds of superstition in primitive cultures so that when these cultures mature they can take advantage of it, like a religious engineering.
But Paul really is the Messiah, because he's the culmination of millennia long genetic plan to create the ultimate being with genetic memories of both the male and female, and a way to bridge space and time, the Kwisatz Haderach
