    Okay, I saw Dune. Highly recommend, Perhaps one way to describe the movie is it takes qualities that are usually seen as artistic mistakes -- portentousness, grandiosity -- and makes them sublime. Would recommend seeing it in a theater if that's an option open to you.

        Villeneuve's Dune is at its best in terms of worldbuilding, capturing the landscape, built environment and sociology of Herbert's universe. What I missed compared to Lynch's movie are the really outlandish or creepy visual touches, navigators & Alia Atreides with her wicked grin

        The bigger the screen the better, once again if you have that choice.

        The decision to stick with that tone even in the big action set pieces that could have been played more triumphantly took some courage

        The sound is incredible - I couldn't do imax so I did a dolby atmos and it wrecked. Definitely a theater movie

        20,000 years into the future and the hero's family name is a homage to the House of Atreus? And if spice is the McGuffin that permits interstellar travel, how did we get to Arrakis in the first place?

        Not to mention the survival of archaic medieval European titles and names like Duke Vladimir Harkonnen, with a little orientalist, um, spice in the form of exotic Islamic elements--great for impressing parochial 1960s US white guys.

        I'm really considering rewatching it in a theater to feel the surprise attack

        Going tomorrow night to see it for my first IMAX experience. Quite jazzed about it, tbh
