LAS VEGAS—Debuting the high-budget sequel at this year’s CinemaCon, director Dennis Villeneuve confirmed Wednesday that Dune: Part Two will pick up right where viewers fell asleep during the first one. “I think audiences are going to love this installment, which continues the epic tale from the exact moment 30 minutes…
I liked the new Dune, and I also really like the Lynch version. I often put on the soundtrack as wallpaper.
With the new movie I felt like I couldn't really form a complete opinion without seeing both parts though. It feels less like I watched a complete movie and more like I had to leave in the middle of a really long one
This is exactly what I said walking out of the theatre. "I feel like I have to reserve my judgement about it until after seeing the second half." I'm generally of the opinion that film is just a bad medium for the story, but I thought the Villeneuve film has so far been the closest to what I imagined while reading the books and if nothing else does a good job using the advantages of the medium.
