    Saw it this afternoon. Amazing experience.

    At this point, I can’t decide if I think it was just a great film or one of my favorites ever. I absolutely need to see it again.

    Frank Herbert making the logically progression that space feudalism would probably produce the the weirdest and most upsetting planet you can imagine. And then being like, well they fight with knives because of the machine wars. Five stars.

    It was an act. He was always going to go south to get the power he needed to get his revenge on the emperor.

    now I want a Miles Teg series.

    book readers:

    we're going to get precious few nods from DV for the last four books for obvious reasons but the "a narrow path" line was cool. wonder if he'll delve into the Golden Path a bit in the last movie.

    Saw it IMAX yesterday - not one of the masive IMAX but big, nonethless.

    Probably my favorite movie experience since Endgame. Really, really amazing.

    I hope they re-release Dune 1 into IMAX cuz I think it would be even better than seeing 2.

    Saw in IMAX today; just finished a re-read of the book so I was a little put off by the differences but still a fantastic movie.

    Finally saw it in IMAX while here in Orlando between visits to the mouse.

    Absolutely amazing and it had the 4DX seats shaking so much that last half hour.

    Incredible.

    just to pause

    there is an actual imax screen in orlando and it does not do 4dx, so the 4dx one aint imax

    so why not just go to the actual imax screen?

    if it's the theater in the center, that's the real imax but no 4dx in it

    4dx is in a different theater there

    but that main imax theater sound system is insane and it definitely feels like things are shaking, but this is what 4dx dune is like

    Oh snap yeah it was the theater in the middle. I didn't check to see if it was both IMAX and 4DX so makes sense that it was just IMAX. That video is on another level.

    Just got out of an imax. God damn that was so cool.

    You can totally that Herbert was heavily influenced by Star Wars when he was writing the book.

    I watched Napoleon in the shaking chair and it was awful. The trailer for Aquaman walked the older couple in front of me.

    For me it was the exact opposite of immersive. The extra $10 bucks or whatever was worth complaining about it tho. Wouldn’t try it on a movie that is as good a Dune 2.

    George Lucas read Dune and made himself a billionaire by deciding to take out most of the weird shit, add aliens, and laser swords.

    Star Wars refuses to engage in space feudalism and it is holding Disney back. In this pitch deck I will explain…

    my thoughts when watching that video of the seats in the theater bouncing around like those shitty quarter bouncy beds in dirty motels that I remember from old movies. pay to eat some junk food and drink 32oz of carbonated sugar water and then shake that shit up real good in your stomach for a couple hours.

    overcooked myself a bit on my edibles at the largest IMAX in the UK and was like 7th row so i was nauseated for a bit between 1/3 to halfway through :roll:. need to see it again where i'm not concerned about whether or not my brain is gonna explode at all the sound/visual stimulus

    Seriously considering going again for imax but getting there halfway through. I really just want to see everything after Paul drinks the worm juice on the giant screen again.

    The opening scene and the spice field battle scenes are also incredible on the big screen. Going for the last 1/3 of the movie is crazy.
