Dune has mosquito-sized killer drones, but also city block-sized spaceships.

He can focus on the tiny just as well as he does on the big. Everyone talks about the worms, but we rarely see them - it's clever, like what Steven Spielberg did on Jurassic Park, but taken even further.ĭune benefits from the fact that Villeneuve understands scale. There's a long one to set up what the planet's gigantic sandworms are capable of. There's one to talk about the “stillsuits” that allow humans to survive in the dunes. Villeneuve crafts sequences of myriad lengths to explain the workings of the desert planet the film is set on. Still, there's heavy servings of exposition, through a star-studded ensemble cast and talking encyclopaedias. The first non-action half of Dune is devoted to this, with Villeneuve doing his best to make it as interesting as possible. The film requires a lot of worldbuilding. Villeneuve is now operating on a much grander scale with Dune, adapted from the first half (or so) of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel of the same name. After all, Dune comes from director Denis Villeneuve - he's also co-writer with Jon Spaihts (Prometheus, Doctor Strange) and Eric Roth ( Forrest Gump, A Star Is Born) - who has previously given us slow-moving self-serious sci-fi stories in Arrival, with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, and Blade Runner 2049, with Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford. It serves up a whole lot of palace intrigue, hints at a questionable quasi-Biblical journey, and seemingly evokes Lawrence of Arabia at times.īut this is what we should have expected. Dune is more akin to Game of Thrones, but in space, and, minus the sex and the humour. And there's no humour on display here, it's all self-serious. Dune is set largely on one planet that gives the film its name. Its characters don't trade quips, or ping-pong across planets on a galactic adventure. The first big scale action comes near the halfway point (though after that, it doesn't stop). There are no lightsabers, dogfights, or space battles here. It's not anything like Star Wars, another epic sci-fi franchise that has defined and inspired the genre. This is a mess.Dune - out now in cinemas and streaming on HBO Max - is a bold bet. Open your eyes, guys, think for yourselves. I assume it does work on those people who ate up the marketing. Oh, now Paul has to fight this stereotypical Fremen warrior to the death? Of course he does! And in one of the final scenes you see some Fremen guy casually ride a giant sand worm.

Didn't they promise exactly that? Why don't they show this massive underground architecture of the Fremen instead of talking about it? Wouldn't this be much more interesting? I can't stand watching Paul's visions/dreams anymore, they look like fancy tv ads for perfume or expensive soap. I don't get a sense of the endless space of the desert of Dune. Damn, OK, hold on, it's just 30 more minutes. I'm here with my girlfriend and a friendly couple.
Cast of dune 2000 movie#
How come we see so little of the Harkonnen's world? Who is the emperor, why is he not shown? Why is Dave Batista shown for roughly 30 seconds in total? Why can't I properly hear the characters talk? Why does the movie feel so lifeless? Why is Jessica crying all the time? Why is everything happening inside these helicopters? Why are the mass battles done so akwardly? Why is Jason Momoa the star of the show? Why are the Fremen so stereotypical? What time is it? When is it gonna be over? I don't want to watch this mess anymore. I got tired of the bland pictures, I got tired of the painfully invasive soundtrack, I got tired of the lack of character of the characters, I got tired of the story that lacked coherence, I got tired of the lack of creativity and effort. I watched Dune 2021 yesterday and got tired of it very quickly. I thought I will definitely see this movie twice or more times with different people, because it's going to be a true cinematic experience. I kept telling people to go and watch this movie. Great trailers, great actors, Hans Zimmer, Denis Villeneuve made Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, I love these movies. I created an imdb account just to let people know how disappointed I am with Villeneuve's latest movie.
