Looks epic!

haha cant wait

Woot...they included a prescience vision at the end of the trailer. Since they are splitting the movie into two parts, the final battle is in the 2nd portion and won't be in the first movie. So a little heads up. Fingers crossed can watch this at cinema by the time it drops.

Dune for dummies. A run through of who's who in the Dune universe. Hope they get to make Part 2 otherwise will be a real bummer. Book 1 is the more linear hero's journey tale, book 2 onwards is where the mind fuck begins and hard to fathom casual viewers ready to embrace where the story heading.

Haha ya lo

I feel bad kept torrenting clear versions of past movies

F9 conjuring 3 quiet place 2 jungle cruise naming a few

sci-fi version of GoT...!!

Dune predates GOT by few decades. GRRM is the one rip-off some aspects of Frank Herbert into GOT. Not the other way around.

i used to play the Dune game in old ps1 console

thats how i know about Dune

Lotsa new scenes in this extended trailer.

haha wonderful

just 21 days away hahahaha

Thinking I'd watch this in the best cinema hall I can find (in terms of screen).

Is TGV IMAX still using their old 2K Digital projectors for their halls? Last time I think I watched anything in their halls was back in 2017, and IIRC it still was 2K. If they're all still on 4K, what other halls are on 4K++ projectors/screens apart from Onyx halls?

Haha i also interested 2 find out this

Thanks to my finance minister, she got me into a close door screening by WBM.Pretty sure during the Oscars, Dune will dominate all the technical aspects. The nature of the first movie is all about set-up and you don't get to settle into the meat of Paul's journey of becoming Space Jesus yet. Also the Emperor and Feyd Rautha has yet to enter the picture. Overall the movie only manage to scratch on the surface of things to come and a bummer should the sequel forthcoming, it'll be another 2 to 3 years of waiting. In post GOT era, the uninitiated viewer will compare this as Stark vs Lannister, Kwisatz Haderach a rip-off of Azor Ahai. Just wish the movie emphasize a little more on the role of Bene Gesserit in the grand scheme of things. Now the ending is hanging and some key players not in the play. Aesthetically this is an improvement over David Lynch's failed 84 version, Bad as it may of the old movie, this new version is not as rich with the world building aspects. Also don't go in expecting SW kind of spectacle, after all this is still a Dennis Villeneuve film. It's a thinking man sci-fi and not some popcorn cgi orgy. Although an incomplete experience, still go for IMAX as they try to recreate some epic cinematography scale like Lawrence of Arabia. Too attached with the books and can't decide yet how good is this until the second part come out.

haha fk this

i get my GSC imax tix already



advanced sales just opened

Per social media + corporate announcements, the only 4K halls I found so far were:
All Onyx halls in Malaysia (Mid Valley, i-City, etc)
MBO Starling (but it's closed)

GSC socmed also listed these as 4K halls:
IOI City Mall (Big Hall)
Paradigm JB (Big Hall)
Mid Valley Southkey (All Halls + Aurum Theater)
The Gardens Mall (All Halls).

Now waiting on TGV socmed to reply... I believe most of TGV's IMAX halls are still on the old IMAX 2K Xenon projectors.

Wow, tread start 10 yrs ago and movie release this year, 11 year in the making

At least better than waiting Duke Nukem Forever which is the most forever delayed game ever

Dune (2021)



Hi Kiddies

Hope everyone here remains well.

This long awaited, second time adapted for movie 50 year old Frank Herbert's book is finally in Malaysia cinema.

I have very little recollection of the really messy 1984 Dune movie. I don't remember liking it (apparently, the studio meddled, and demanded edits, making the movie shorter and nonsensical. Although it had the singer, Sting.

Fast forward 16 years, and Scifi made two mini series, titled Frank Herbert's Dune (2000) and Children of Dune (2003) abet on a Scifi network budget. Even when I first watched it, back in the day, I thought the costumes were... horrendous (imagine a 1st year fashion school student's work).

The story is more comprehensible but until you watch Denis Villeneuve's (director) Dune, you have no idea how "expensive" the world of Frank Herbert's Dune is.

The casting, the script and the thought put into the world building is second to none.

I do not have access to Imax cinemas at this point in time, and I really REALLY wish I have.

This movie is breathtaking.

The only downside I can make about this movie is stated at the very beginning of the movie, namely the title, Dune, Part One.

This movie is now being exhibited outside of USA.

It will concurrently be release in the States at the cinema and HBO max.

Box office receipt will determine if Denis Villeneuve gets to do Part Two...

In my humble opinion, if you are a Sci Fiction fan and can visit a cinema safely, please do consider watching it a cinema.

A small screen will not do it Justice

As a fan of the original 6 x books series by Frank Herbert (excluding the expanded Dune universe prequels and 2 part sequel to the final 6th book) mediocre books from Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson) since high school, I wholeheartedly enjoyed the Villeneuve's take at adapting book 1 on the big cinema screen.

It's brutal, dark and visceral (similar to Vileneuve's Blade Runner 2049 sequel) and damn, watching the movie on IMAX really gives you that sense of scale of how gigantic the buildings and space crafts really are. To top it off, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is immersive as it is mystical and tribal like.

Go watch it!

Haha finally your proper review since like what December 2019
