Long Live the Fighters. #DunePartTwo only in theaters November 3.-----------------https://www.instagram.com/dunemovie/https://www.facebook.com/dunehttps://tw...
it's the desert, not sure they have a ton of choice. I guess it could look like Jodorowsky did it instead, that would be visually appealing but otherwise terrible.
Dune is not set on an earth desert, it's set on a planet where water is literally imported from offworld. It's a fierce inhospitable planet with more in common with mars than with Arizona or Arabia. The people wear utilitarian stillsuits that collect piss and sweat to convert back to water.
It's like someone took the raw film and took the saturation level to -50. And they did it to the music as well.
I suppose boy actually meets girl this film rather than fever dream sequences worse than Gravity's Bullock's George Clooney thirst anxiety sequences - which was like half that movie. So there's a plus.
FWIW I enjoyed the film a fair bit and agree that it's too desaturated, it's a big problem with a lot of screen media these days. All historical dramas made nowadays have to be in gloomy greyscale for some stupid reason and Succession always looks like it's set during a nuclear winter or some shit.
Just a biy of yellowish dust in the air would make the sky a bit green. Happens in earth all the time. Especially near sunset, when scattering shifts to a lower wavelength spectrum.
no, and I'm not saying we should. I'm saying that a harsh desert setting still leaves a lot of room for visual dynamism, and that Lawrence of Arabia does a good job of showing that.
It makes sense that the developed areas of Arrakis be near the spice sands, which should be vast expanse of dunes. But the exposed rock of desert is often quite beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing it, as those places are where the Fremen settlements are.

hissing, biting :screm3:
desert is not ugly or monotone :edgeworth-pissed:

My HISTORICALLY ACCURATE
ALIEN DESERT WORLD
It's not about accuracy, it's about themes and world building. It also has a payoff.
:jesse-wtf:
Arrakkis is overwhelmingly dull and lifeless with flickers of life and colour. Themes and world building. The pay off is spoilers.
🤓 excuse me the LORE demands the setting look UGLY and WASHED OUT
The story is mostly about surviving on this planet. Did you watch the movie?
the colorful earth deserts to which i refer are also trying to kill you
Yeah! They live on a nice pretty green planet and then go to the ugly desert planet
but arrakis is described as actually being just a monotone desert, save for the occasional rock formation
curry colored dust and blue sky :very-smart: does anything look orange in this film except the title card?
It does looks overwhelmingly orange during the 'sandstorm' scenes. In this trailer, you get like, a half second of it around second 42.
It's like they even desaturated the people. Earth desert communities have more life and flavor. I live next to 100+ ft sand dunes that look more rich than this.

I'm just surprised they didn't go for a deep blue sky to contrast against the yellow and brown tones of the desert.
It's not Earth.
but it has a human breathable atmosphere so the clear sky should still be pretty dang blue.
Just a biy of yellowish dust in the air would make the sky a bit green. Happens in earth all the time. Especially near sunset, when scattering shifts to a lower wavelength spectrum.
i can understand that. i guess they just really want those eyes to pop.
Go look up some stills from (or watch) Lawrence of Arabia. There's a lot of visual range even in a desert!
someone made a good point below, this isn't on Earth so should we expect it to look exactly like earth?
no, and I'm not saying we should. I'm saying that a harsh desert setting still leaves a lot of room for visual dynamism, and that Lawrence of Arabia does a good job of showing that.

Deserts are brigth. The other dune 2000 series had a lot more color.
