I just threw a few saturation and color filters to the max. This makes me worth $1 Billion.

It's like that whole banana duct taped to a wall stuff. :banana-duck-peeled: that's how I see Dune. It isn't brilliant. It offends me. So I guess that's art.

    idk man, I thought that first Dune movie looked awesome. Way more than a filter. They used contrast and light to make some really sick looking scenes.

    :I-was-saying: I liked the color of the movie. pretty close to the tone/aesthetic i was expecting from reading the books

    it helps that it's not set on earth so they didn't have the opportunity to do the yellow = mexico, gray = post-soviet state trope

    but either way i hope this turns into the new hexbear struggle session and if it doesn't result in another banwave i will be very disappointed

    The Matrix did use colour filters lol, or you think people have a natural green tinge?

      My complaint is he took the filters to such an extreme it sucked the life out of enjoyment. That lens followed the whole package of the medium from the ASMR voices you couldn't understand to the excessive droning inapproprate WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ing of the composer. The whole film felt like a giant :troll:

      Tell the damned story. There is a point for showing sceness in film but dammit make it a point instead of LOOK EMPTY ROOMS AND SEPIA. Loudly quiet? But trying to ask a cult member to think criticaly of their cult is :wall-talk: and it's like some inside joke like they trained WimpLo wrong on purpose.

        Have you read Dune? It’s incredible but also feels like there’s a WAAAA every five pages

          I have not. I wanted to go in with an open mind, and it shouldn't be required reading to sit through a 2.5 hour part one of the 1st book. This movie certainly did not inspire me to go out and want to read it either.

          I eventually was able to find the Spice Divers edit of the Lynch Film after the whole "what am I missing?" And it was a thing, but I didn't fall asleep multiple times, it had environments and rooms and kept the story-ish moving touching on 5 books.

    Here's a good, colorful, billion dollar grossing recent movie for you: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6718170/

    ironically it now wouldn't look outta place on a pulp sci-fi cover of Dune's era

      And that's used smartly in Blade Runner 2049 to help tell the story.

      Where I don't feel that in Dune. If the whole thing is washed out and fogged in the same bland tone, including the indoor environments, then the effect is wasted. Dune was fog. Inside, outside. Just emptyness. Even the charecters.

      I was expecting another Blade Runner immersion, not some sterile cardboard diorama.

    tbh, villeneuve's colour palette is like grey and shades of dark orange since sicario

      I'd say even earlier. Prisoners, gray. Enemy, very yellow.

    Dune was written in the 70s and really should’ve been a show. Way too dense and intricate for yet another Marvel knockoff
