DUNE is one of those - You either really love it - or really hate it shows.
I watch DUNE with an eye towards the epic that it is, not so much tied up in any one character or story - but imagining its the universe I live in. - The imagination and the epic of dune lasts long after he credits roll. For days and weeks, I can imagine scenarios or picture events in the film and ask myself the question of, what would I do if... For the people that do this, this is what makes DUNE.
I'm glad to see they're attempting a remake. - Let's give it a chance.
Ugh.
Ok so I like the premise and the story 8/10.
However the actors are BAD, the camera work sucks, the writing and character interaction feels forced and blocky.
Absolutely sucks, and I’m forcing myself to watch it just because I started it.
For the minuscule budget for this film, feels like they all bought weed with the budget, say around smoking it, grabbed a budget handy-cam and took turns reading off a script in a back ally somewhere with cardboard and floodlights then whipped up a bit of computer generated “ship” stuff and called it a day.
This concept needs to be remade with a 50-100 million budget, good actors, good directors, etc.
Meh.
Interesting semi enjoyable movie - made worse by the obvious political undertones and off handed comments that are essentially obligitory and to be expected in pretty much anything created today. The cracks about politicans that the authors dislike and want to smear in public opinion are distasteful and ruin the enjoyment of what's supposed to be entertainment.
Ok
I enjoyed watching this film.
I will probably even "re watch" it.
I would even recommend to friends and family they watch it.
It was heartwarming and definitely had that "Disney" feel to it.
Great Cast, and amazing acting, really good music. (I especially liked the song at the end credits about angels).
Watch it on an afternoon / evening with a friend you enjoy spending time with, and a bowl of popcorn.
Ok,
If it wasn't for a top billed cast such as "Brad Pitt" et. al. It would be considered a C level film. The kind you give away with a box of cereal. I was not impressed. If it wasn't for him being in this film, it wouldn't even be worth watching.
There was some amazing shots of space ships, and a couple cool stunts - But that's about all that's even remotely notable in this film.
