Okay so who watched Dune this weekend??? I wanna hear your thoughts if so in the comments. I saw it several weeks back for NYFF and liked it a lot then never reviewed it (see this tweet) -- I will definitely be watching it again before it leaves HBO Max though, so hopefully I can write something in the next couple of weeks now that the fests have ended. Maybe I might even figure out an IMAX screening in a few weeks, if it's still playing and the theater seems not so busy. (I am definitely still not ready for a full theater.) Anyway -- thoughts, please!

This would be a great movie to see in a theatre.
NealB -- I saw it in the theater for NYFF (those press screenings felt safe because everyone was vaxxed and they were incredibly stringent about masks) and yeah, it was GORGEOUS on a big screen
I found it a giant, empty bore.
It's not my cup of tea...the cinematography is breathtaking I must admit....other than that, there's not much going on. It's like people say how great Meryl or Cate is...let's just say I admire the movie much much more than I like it.
we loved it.
we're watching foundation weekly too and for some reason i keep mixing them up. 😂
I enjoyed it, it was good, but also, it just felt like a retread of Lynch's Dune. Nothing new, there are no surprises because it is the same as the original. I vacillate between liking Timothée Chalamet, and rolling my eyes when I hear about him. The nu Dune is definitely gorgeous to watch. but I don't feel as if Timothée's (very tired of retyping his name with and accent, lol) very scrawny boy body didn't exactly translate to what I ever imagined Leto to be (but geeze he got tall). Maybe just this once Timothée could have kept his shirt on. I know "sacrilege!". Having his parents played by people that are barley able to have been his parents was also an odd choice. Whatever the deficits of Lynch's Dune, Kyle MacLachlan did fit the role. Still. I look forward to part two, and then really look forward the rest of the series.
