There's an start of Season 2 here in Norway at NRK1 tonight, in about 5 minutes now!
[NRK] Get the perfect balance between family drama and the chronicle of the enrichment of a small country like Norway thanks to the discovery of oil. Endowed with a great production design, focused more on indoor settings, it exposes on screen its status as the most expensive series in the history of Norwegian television. And draws political, religious and family scenarios with equal interest.
I don’t think I’ve ever literally been on the edge of my seat for like 3/4 of a movie before. I may have lost about 20% of my hearing-
but it was totally worth it
This is a tone-perfect adaptation of Herbert's novel, but even if it weren't, I could watch brutalist architecture take off and land all day. An absolute visual triumph.
Love the books, so was worried about another attempt to convert into a movie. But this was so much better than I thought it would be. Looking forward to part 2.
Brillant brilliant brilliant. This is truly a cinematic masterpiece that demands to be seen on the big screen. I have not read the book and didn‘t know anything about the story. Still I was immediately drawn into this beautiful and vast universe that Frank Herbert created and Dennis Villeneuve brought to life in this breathtaking film adaption. The acting is superb and the cinematography is top-notch. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is so otherworldly which fits the movie perfectly. As this was only Part 1 of the story I really hope we‘ll see Part 2 in the near future. I‘m definitely hooked on this franchise now. Next stop will be reading the book.
A religious experience.
This movie brings story telling and action sequences at the right pace.
I've just seen it in cinema. Very powerful movie combined with a better soundtrack.
Can't wait for the second part!
When you watch a movie and wish that it went for another 2 hours - fantastic.
Everything I wanted it to be, blew my mind. I think this has the potential to become a saga as popular as Star Wars (but potentially for an broader audience) and such. I've got my fingers crossed for the potential of a second movie.
Everything I wanted it to be and more. Perfectly cast and excellent soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Epic Sci-Fi at its best.
Don't listen to the critics - this was a really enjoyable movie to me. If you enjoy a little fun and an unpretentious movie then you'll like this. To me it's in the same category as Wild Wild West and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
It's a nice, easy watch without all the pretention, a lot of Steampunk association and almost nostalgic in its disregard for cultural film critics' opinions.
Perfect for a Wednesday or Friday evening alone with something to drink as company.
