@ jaxe 10/22 of which year? According to IMDB Dune takes place in the year 10191 so 8170 years is a long time to wait for a PROPER rip but it's your call Patience is a virtue - just hurry up with it Or as Louis Armstrong would sing ♫We have all the time in the world♫ |
is it being 25fps a problem? does it mess with viewers perception of time in any way? I can't see how it would make a difference tbh? I thought most pal videos are 25 vs 24 so couldn't we just re-encode or amend some settings to slow it down slightly? welcome your thoughts jaxe, thanks |
Howdy peeps! I (tried to) watch this yesterday and quit after one hour. It's basically what Guest-1925 said a couple comments above this one. Here's my take on it: if you're a fan of the Dune franchise and have seen the TV series or read the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert, the story will be familiar and you're probably gonna dig this. If you're like me (and know nothing about Dune) you're probably gonna be bored. i.e., I'd call this a film for fan-boys. Fair enough. No disrespect to those who like it. Just not my cuppa tea. I thought the A/V was excellent but if there's an HD version coming out soon, that's up to you. (thanks @jaxe) Not gonna rate this one since I didn't finish it. Thanks, GalaxyRG. 🥂 |
Is Frank Herbert’s 1965 science fiction best-seller Dune unfilmable? Alejandro Jodorowsky spent several years and $2m trying to turn the book into an epic starring Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger. David Lynch’s 1984 version at least made it to the screen, though make sense it largely did not. (The producer Dino de Laurentiis, who slashed Lynch’s five-hour cut to just over two, later confessed that “we destroyed Dune in the editing room”.) Whereas those directors are visionaries , Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) is a journeyman with visual flair. On the evidence of his Dune, this may be what is needed to wrestle the unruly material into shape. His first smart decision is not to compress Herbert’s novel into a single film. (A trilogy is on the cards if this one is a hit.) His second is to remember that, for all its monsters, melees and skulduggery, Dune is a coming-of-age story in which a young man dreams of a woman in a far-off land. Setting out to find her, he finds himself in the process. This is Paul (Timothée Chalamet), heir to the House of Atreides, the ruling family on the “homeworld” of Caladan in the year 10191. The word “planet” seems to have fallen slightly from favour in the 102nd century, though coffee has survived, thank God. That said, some of the preparation techniques – using spit in lieu of water, for instance – wouldn’t pass muster at the better high-street chains. Saliva latte, anyone? Paul’s father, Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac), has been appointed steward of the desert world Arrakis, long exploited for its precious hallucinogenic spice “melange”, which extends life, facilitates interstellar travel, and turns the eyes of the indigenous Fremen people a piercing electric blue. It is one such creature, Chani (Zendaya), who has been materialising in Paul’s dreams. The Duke aims to bring a kinder stewardship to Arrakis than his predecessor, the savage Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), but imperialism with a smile is still imperialism. Like any good adolescent waking up to the ills of the world, Paul feels a burning sympathy for the underdogs, such as Stilgar (Javier Bardem), who tells the Duke that “the desert was ours long before you came”, then spits on the floor as a sign of respect. They’re all at it. Paul has his own burgeoning powers to grapple with. His mother, Lady Jessica (the vivid Rebecca Ferguson), has passed on to him her supernatural abilities. “You made me a freak!” he fum |
Thanks for this. Nice quality, and love the file size. Sat down to this with my grown son, whom I could never interest in the books. Now, he's already salivating for the rest of the story to hit the screen. I'm anxious, myself. They've begun well, it's such an epic story that one film couldn't encompass it --- not without losing far too much of it for fans. Again, many thanks! Looking forward to the next one. |
Guest-1925 Well lots of people said the same comments about the 1984 David lynch version, years later it's a classic, as I've read all the books and also played all the old computer games.. also i think most people are too busy looking at there mobiles phones etc while trying to pay half attention to the movies nowadays, when its over they say yeah, it was okay but i don't remember much :) |
thx for another great torrent :) visually this certainly stands up to all the hype. having seen several versions on screen this is the first to do dune true justice and the only one so far that i have seen to make the ornithopters look even close to real. however, just like the books, this movie also fails to have much impact on me as it is also very slow in it's story-telling and visuals aside makes for a very boring movie. i suspect this may even turn into a trilogy as it is so stretched out in its pacing that even a sequel will make no sense as there is still far too much distance to cover without condensing, and lets be honest, it will make for a trilogy on par with the hobbit series. visuals alone cannot make this remake hold up to how hyped it has been. but what do i know? i'm just a ravinl00n :D |
This wins on being visually stunning , the story line is more meh This movie is more a put-on-the-mantelpiece-and-admire kind of movie It doesn't really pay to watch this in low-definition SD You want crisp visuals and a HUGE screen and a HUGE bag of popcorn to get the most out of this |

Heads up everyone, I just got a copyright notice from my ISP for this one. Guess I need a new VPN too...... |
