Dune 2!!!

I thought "Arrival" (2016) was absolutely amazing (from the novella by Ted Chiang "Story of Your Life"), so I knew we were in for a treat when I heard way back when that Denis Villeneuve was taking on the film adaptation of "Dune"!!!


I'm looking forward to Part Three because it will be covering Dune Messiah, which is an impressive book sequel. A personal fav of mine as it is dramatic up to its conclusion.

I saw it Thursday and Saturday. I also love the other adaptations and it is still my favorite Science Fiction book

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Lynch's Dune has a lot going for it. Especially when you remember when it was made and the circumstances under which it was edited.

I had never read the book until after I saw the David Lynch movie and fell in love with it. I watched it last week too.



I love Christopher Walken, but Ferrer was a much better Emperor.


And why are modern blockbusters so long now? A slow and better movie like 2001 A Space Odyssey was and felt shorter than commercial movies.

I read Frank Herbert's epic "Dune" back before Part 1 came out, so I'm absolutely stoked to see the story play out in Part 2.
As Sci-Fi fans, sometimes we see our favorite books adapted to screen/TV successfully, sometimes, not so much.
(For example, Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle" based on Philip K. Dick's novel of the same name had a promising start, but then it went too far afield for my taste).
When you've seen the film, feel free to review it with your Speculative Fiction chops here...
Has anyone seen Dune 2 yet? Thoughts.
