If there can ever be a moment of triumph for a director, when the anxiety of influence is vanquished – for a bit, anyway – then Denis Villeneuve might have achieved it. This eerily vast and awe-inspiring epic, a cathedral of interplanetary strangeness, is better than the attempt a generation ago by an acknowledged master. David Lynch’s Dune from 1984 was an interesting, rackety, flawed movie that attempted to cram the entirety of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel into its running time – the result was like Flash Gordon without the laughs. Villeneuve, with his co-writers Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth, has used less than half the book (with a second episode to come) and allowed it room to grow: to breathe and drift through unimaginably vast reaches of fictional galaxies, with images of architecturally enormous spacecraft moving into view, or delicately lowering themselves on to alien landscapes of parched and austere beauty, particularly the ravishingly pure desert landmass of “Dune”, the contested planet itself. Star Wars’ debt to Dune, and now Dune’s debt to Star Wars, has been extensively discussed (amusingly, Dune gives us moving holograms rather like the one in which Princess Leia first begged Obi-Wan Kenobi for help). But this blockpulverising film feels more like TE Lawrence’s imperious version of The Phantom Menace. This is how it ought to have been. Dune’s story takes place millennia into the future, in which the ruling class live like Renaissance Italian princes, occasionally impressing wax seals on documents with signet rings as if they have just arrived at Hampton Court by boat. Timothée Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, son and heir to the distinguished Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac), whose family has just been ordered by the emperor to take up the lucrative governorship of the desert planet Arrakis, or “Dune”. It is their task to suppress or appease its indigenous people, the Fremen, but get the sole commercial exploitation rights for the planet’s mineral, “Spice”, which, properly refined, gives the consumer superhuman mental powers (although oddly this transformation is never shown on screen). The previous masters, the Harkonnen, led by its obese baron (Stellan Skarsgård) are furious at their ejection, but understand that this is a political stratagem by the emperor, to undermine the overweeningly powerful Atreides family with an impossible colonial posting. |
Running time is 2 hours and 35 minutes. This running time is 2 hours and 28 minutes because it's in 25 FPS? I will wait for October 22nd the Official Release date for a PROPER copy. |
This is over hyped, slow & disappointing?(maybe because of high expectations)! I suppose, would have liked it if had seen on the big screen! |
@Moxie no worries, all good. She just went to bedroom. I'm not bitter! But if she ever totally leaves lets talk about it! |
A7/V8 and i have to agree was not at all what i expected very open ended,, and for some one new to it all no background on the story, itll leave ya going huh ..... there will be a part 2 and a part 3 from what i see its going to be milked till ya never want to see it again .... thats hollyweird |
I personally found the EVO 1080p rip perfectly acceptable on a 4' Sony via Kodi on a networked android box. Maybe I'm a "fanboy" but I thought this adaptation was very much in the spirit of the book and had the pacing was spot on. A lot of time was devoted to those huge establishment shots that beautifully paint an imperial canvas. Probably not to the tastes of the wham bam thanks mam, instant gratification mindset but then this was written in the 60's when sprawling visions like Dune and Foundation were considered ok. May I suggest some weed and letting it flow man! We'll be waiting a while for part 2 though as all that's happened so far is Villeneuve doing a script workup. No commitments have yet been made towards production by Legendary so short scheduling an A list will be a freakin nightmare. The only cast members who have a mention of Dune 2 are Chalomet and Skarsgard and all the rest seem well booked for 2022. Wouldn't be much of a show without Jessica, Duncan, Gurney, Stilgar or "beast" Harkonnen (Bautista looks v heavily booked). I was amazed Legendary Pictures had such little faith in a project they'd obviously put a lot of time and cash into. Maybe Mel did sum up the gnomic nature of Hollywood. |
I appreciate jaxe's comments and attention to details. Thanks to that info, I was able to make the informed decision to wait for a proper release. So much of this film's positive rating is due to it's look and sound, so I'd rather wait a few days longer for a top quality rip to add to my library. Thanks, jaxe. Keep doing what you do. |
Guest-1887: 10/22 of this year. This coming week. The HD will be streaming on HBO MAX. |
Hopefully it will be as good as all the hype. On the watch list for tonight. Thank you Galaxy. |
Thank you for the Quality upload. Read the book in 1966 and waited for someone to do the story justice, thanks to Denis Villeneuve. Hope I get to see the next installment and with a French Canadian or French Director, they are the best. |
Boring as hell anyways, regardless of the quality of the share. |
It's suppose to be 23.976 FPS. The source of this copy is not the HBO MAX because that is not to be released until 10/22. Also the quality is not very good even when it's labeled as 720p. It looks wash out. Same for this 1080p labeled copy, https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/14564036/Dune-2021-1080p-HDRip-X264-EVO-TGx- video size maybe in 1080p (1920x776) dimension but quality of the image is not. |
Knock me over with a feather duster I wasn't expecting to see this so soon |
