The original movie had a scene with a pilot/spacing guild monster thing that looked like the brain sucker from starship troopers. Did I miss it in the new movie or is it not in here?
A "navigator" i think?
It's afraid.

White supremacist.So I watched this. Yes the effects are more moderns but you know what, I prefer the original Dune movie. They fucked up on Jessica, she was way too emotional in this movie. So many of the characters were just superior in the first movie.

The Baron looks like Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now during the whole "when is a gift not a gift?" scene.
The line between Paul and Lady Jessica “you good?” “Yeah…” pulled me right out the movie.My biggest complaint is the dialogue though. Just like I felt after watching the trailers, It felt off throughout the entire movie. There would be a line here or there lifted straight from the book, but everything else felt "modernized" for lack of a better term.
Saw it in the Imax in downtown Austin, about half of it was in the 1.43 ratio. Biggest screen I'd ever seen in my life, and the space and landscape scenes were absolutely incredible. No way this is as enjoyable on a regular TV, just from a sheer size standpoint.For anyone who saw it in theaters, did anything stand out on the big screen? In my mind the big battle on Arrakis at the base would probably have been pretty cool, but I found the sandworm scenes underwhelming at home (OLED 77" TV too) and nothing else really stood out as "holy shit this is fucking amazing". None of the space or Caladan (water planet) were that amazing. competent, but nothing like stuff out of BR2049 or Mad Max.
Even the desert scenes looked like shit I've seen on BBC Earth when they film in the Sahara, I was really hoping for more crazy ass looking sand seas

I watched this at home in my office on my 43" 4K Sony TV I use as a Monitor. I sit about 30" away from it. So basically it fills the center part of my vision but I am not going to get the movie theater effect I get watching on my 70" TV out in the living room with a chair 6-8 feet away just because of the size. Still, you can tell what the picture looks in frame, and so much of this movie is framed to highlight the scale of the environments, the size of the objects with which the actors share the screen; there is a sense of grandeur that most movies don't find. DV, his stupid comments about various subjects like Climate change and colonization aside, should be making as many big budget classics as we can extract out of him until SJW ideology makes his head soft. He's got a sense of visual majesty that is unparalleled in modern hollywood.Saw it in the Imax in downtown Austin, about half of it was in the 1.43 ratio.

Would absolutely love to see more space scenes in the next one. The space scenes felt a ton like 2001: Space Odyssey.
Also, industry "experts" think Dune is doing very well heading into today and projects at $33+ million domestically, which would beat Godzilla vs. Kong, and they're anticipating $60+ million worldwide this weekend, which would clear the $200 million threshold. It's already pacing to beat BR2049s numbers very quickly. This is going to get a Part II.
They didn't show the navigators (yet), but they did show representatives from the spacing guild, these are the lower level guys who are not yet fully leveled up from years of living in spice gas. They were the guys with the funky helmets and rebreathers in the early scene where Leto gets control of Arrakis:View attachment 378601

First thing I thought when the Herald got off his ship.They didn't show the navigators (yet), but they did show representatives from the spacing guild, these are the lower level guys who are not yet fully leveled up from years of living in spice gas.

Wish I had a better picture but this was all I could find. They have some rebreather kind of thing attached to their opaque helmets.

I thought the movie was great. Time will tell but it may even be a masterpiece. There was one thing I really didn't like though, nitpicking here but I didn't like the way everyone pronounced Harkonnen.
Yeah, the scenes in space with the guild were insane. I LOVED the sense of scale, especially when they are dropping into the planet and you see them in orbit.Saw it in the Imax in downtown Austin, about half of it was in the 1.43 ratio.

I hate Hollywood, but I wouldn't mind Dune being a thing until it crashes and burns.

I'm probably gonna see it again at the local super-mega imax once all the dirty pleebs clear out. I'm a sucker for space shit and the visuals were definitely top notch for this. Ridley Scott's prometheus is another I'd put in the same tier of epic space visuals. God that movie was so shit other than that, though.Yeah, the scenes in space with the guild were insane.

I could literally just watch a DV movie with a score and nothing but images/shots. His cinematography is totally next level. I don't know of a recent director who even compares. Nolan's Interstellar is the only thing that comes to mind as being close.
