Saw Dune Part 2.
- Visually it was beyond stunning.
- The sound design was unlike anything I have ever heard before.
- Someone finally got the sand worms right.
I have now seen 3 attempts at Dune and no one can do it. The human mind can construct such things that have no analog of replication in the real. So many things have to be dumped from the book to even have a prayer to bring Dune onto the screen.
Ecology? forget it.
Origin of the spice? Nah.
The trifecta conspiracy between CHOAM, the Guild Navigators, and the Emperor against House Atreides? Pffft! That's just to name a few.
I think that the only real way to do this movie is going to have to be a movie in 12 parts, 2 hours each over the span of 2 - 3 years to fit everything in; and that's just from one single book. Imagine doing all six books. Doing movies like this may revive the theater ecosystem (could kill it just as easily I suppose).
I'm not dissing the movie as much as I am celebrating what the human mind can construct when it is free of physicalities.
Still, Dune is a must see event and it has to be in a theater with Dolby Atmos if you can. I presume true iMax would be the penultimate. Damn thing was beautiful.
