Before complaining, post the ticket stub to prevent someone from spraying the pirated version and snorting.
In the past two years, I have not been to the cinema, the last time I watched should be "Avengers 4", one is because there is a baby is inconvenient, the other is because of the epidemic problem, a lot of movie networks are released synchronously, simply watch at home without spending money. When "Creed" was released, I wanted to go to see it once, but I was dissuaded by my colleagues who had seen it first. Last September, I saw the trailer of "Dune" on Douban, and I felt quite shocked, and the cast was quite strong (except for the male and female protagonists), and I decided to be sure to enjoy it in the cinema, but I didn't expect to delay until now.

Affected by the epidemic, the release time of "Dune" around the world is not consistent, and the United States and Chinese mainland are the most evening, and there are high-definition resources on the network on October 18. This led to Douban before the release of "Dune" has a considerable number of film reviews, I feel that these film reviews are basically divided into two groups of people: one is the original fans, the film's world view, story line, character characteristics are quite understanding, this version of "Dune" filmed the grand scene and epic sense they want, basically five-star ratings; the other is the passerby audience who have not seen the original work, the recognition of the plot is derived from the movie itself, and there is no GET to the essence of this movie, and the large-scale production scene full of expectations is only a few minutes. The slow-paced plot and the god-like dialogue make people sleepy, and there are more three-star and four-star hits. I myself have seen the 1984 version of "Dune" before, I have a general understanding of the storyline, the 19th can't help but shamefully watch the pirated version, the 22nd night to the cinema second brush still did not feel particularly brilliant, the pace is a little slow, often so can not catch the attention, so give this version a 7.5 points.
First there are some complaints
Slot one: The opening worldview setting is not particularly clear
Like the 1984 version of Dune, this version of Dune begins to tell the story background in the form of narration, but the content is much simpler, only about the two sides of the Dune universe, the natives of the planet Erracos, the Freymans and the occupier Haknan, as well as the spices of the planet Erracos, and the other characters or families and relationships with each other are rolled out little by little with the progress of the plot.
The 2021 edition of the narration comes from the female second Chini
The 1984 version of "Dune" narration is much more content, especially the 2 hours and 57 minutes of extended version, which used 9 minutes of comics to tell all aspects of the "Dune" universe clearly, and people who have not seen the original can understand the plot. The theatrical version uses the form of narration + dialogue to expand the plot, not as detailed as the extended version, but it can also understand a seven-seven-eight-eight.
The 1984 theatrical version was a narration by the beautiful Princess Irulan, and the 2021 version did not feature the character
The slow-moving approach to storytelling is naturally smarter and more elegant than the narrator, but it is necessary to add some auxiliary scenes at the right moment to introduce the background of the story, such as the introduction of the holographic projection to the planet Of Erakos and the Freymans, which will slow down the rhythm of the main plot and affect the perception.
Slot two: There are too many cold weapon battle scenes
This must be complained about and not washed. The movie opens with a sneak attack, the Freymans set up a gun to target the Haknans and prepare to attack, I thought it would be a star Wars-like explosive gun battle, but the next second it was the Freymans who came out of the sand and fought with each other in close combat... Isn't your Freeman's first priority to stop each other from mining spices? Isn't it enough to quietly use laser guns to kill transport machines and collection vehicles? Why do you have to fight with the other soldiers? There's no benefit in exposing yourself. There were many similar hand-to-hand combats that followed, with the weapons of the infantry on both sides being knives, not even grenades. Hard science fiction or soft science fiction, "Dune" tells the story of 8,000 years later, don't be so primitive. After the Gulf War, the military strategies of major powers have not taken anti-personnel as the main combat target, and it is impossible to regress to the era of cold weapons in future wars. I know that there is a shield in "Dune" that can resist the setting of high-speed kinetic weapons (similar to the shielding field in "Base"), but this movie does not explain the working principle and breakthrough method at all, and the bomb thrown by the Haknan in the middle can still blow up the Shield of the Erridi family battleship, and it is not difficult to break through the human shield with a similar weapon, and there are also scenes in the movie, I feel that the director just likes to shoot hand-to-hand combat.
In this scene, the soldiers of the Ertridi family also set up a medieval spear array...
Groove point three: The Imperial Prophetess tested the male protagonist's play without pain or itch
In the 25th minute of the movie, there is a scene in which the Prophetess of the Empire tests whether the male protagonist can overcome his inner fears. The original intention was to let the male protagonist put his hand in a special box, tell him that no matter what happened, he could not take it out, otherwise he would be stabbed to death by a poisonous needle, and then create an illusion to make the male protagonist think that his hand was burned to ashes, and the male protagonist had enough self-control to meet this fear. The 1984 edition describes the suffering he suffered through the lines of the prophetess and the picture of the male protagonist's hand being burned by fire, which can be said to be more detailed. The 2021 version does not have a line description of the prophetess, only the facial expression of the male protagonist's large close-up, the flashback picture of the dream girl, and the picture of the hand being scorched by fire for a moment. This does not seem to have any sense of substitution, you see the following expression, who knows if the male protagonist is constipated or breaking his wrist?
Slot four: I didn't take a picture of the huge feeling of the sandworm
Sandworm is definitely an important element in the story, appearing twice in this movie, once when the middle part of the male protagonist and his party took a flapper to check the mining of spices, and the second time was the ending part of the male protagonist and mother were chased to the rock by the sandworm and finally exposed a large open mouth. To be honest, these two places are not shocking enough to imagine that this is a 400-meter-long behemoth that swallows mountains and rivers.
Slot five: There are too few scenes in the big scene, and there is no climax at the end
To be honest, I watched the super shocking trailer of 3 minutes and 27 seconds on Douban before I decided to watch this movie in the cinema, thinking that the trailers are so explosive, the positive film will be very cool. As a result, after watching it, I found that all the big scenes of the movie were in the trailer, and the literary drama accounted for more than 90%. The only climax of the whole film is the middle part of the Erridi family being attacked, and then it is flat to the end, the subtitles at the end of the movie come out, and the feeling in my heart is, just this? So audiences who go to see "Dune" with the expectations of Hollywood visual effects blockbusters will be disappointed.
Slot Six: The story is not finished
This version of "Dune", both the official synopsis and the promotional film, renders the story of Paul's decision to accept the guidance of fate and defend his family and people. However, the movie only ended hastily until Paul decided to accept the guidance of fate, a bit abrupt, very unhappy, the last time I watched the movie was "Alita: Battle Angel".
So the question is, when will Dune 2 be released? Can you see two more to say?
"Unless Dune grossed so badly, there wouldn't be a sequel, because Warner and Legend loved the film." Recently, "Dune" director Dennis Villeneuve talked about the sequel plan in an interview, confidently said. At the same time, he stressed that Dune 2's statement is not accurate, "It should not be said that Dune 1 and Dune 2, but Dune: Part I and Dune: Part II." Villeneuve was fairly confident in the quality of Dune, "For decades, a successful adaptation of Dune was seen as an impossible task, so the first thing we had to do was prove that Dune could be made into a good-looking and blockbuster movie. I think I did. Warner and Legendary Pictures are also 100 percent supportive of the project, and will not make a sequel unless the box office is very, very poor, because they love the film very much and are proud to want to continue the project. I'm very optimistic [about the sequel]. ”
Slot Seven: Except for the protagonist, all the others are tool people
Dune has a large number of characters, and the entire film gives most of the time to the protagonist Paul Erridi and his mother, Mrs. Jessica, which leads to other characters having little room to play, becoming tool people without personality, and not easily remembered by the audience. After watching the first time, I didn't even understand what Jason Moma and Josh Brolin did.
Here are some highlights worth mentioning
Highlight 1: The flapper is perfectly shaped
Compared with the 1984 version of "Dune", the strange character modeling and rough costumes, the 1984 version of "Dune" has done a very good job in these two aspects, and the details of character modeling, architecture and props are very well done, which is also where fans of the original work are talking about it. What impressed me the most was the flapper they flew over the planet Erlakos, which looked like an enlarged version of a dragonfly, taking off, landing, pulling up, swooping, circling, and the cameras from all angles were perfect.
Highlight 2: Explosion effects have details
In the second brush of the movie theater found a bomb to break through the details of the battleship shield, the first time I looked at it I thought it was a special explosion effect, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a bomb falling slowly→ contacting the battleship shield → penetrating the battleship shield → the explosion destroyed the battleship→ shield disappeared → the explosion flames dispersed.
Finally, write a little movie watching advice:
As can be seen from the screenshots above, most of the scenes in this "Dune" are relatively dark, so it is recommended that you give priority to the version with high brightness when you go to the cinema to see this movie, and the selection order is IMAX 2D> IMAX 3D> ordinary 2D > ordinary 3D. However, the IMAX 2D version has very few films, and our theaters in Shijiazhuang do not even have one, most of the theaters are ordinary 3D, a few theaters have IMAX 3D, and only Wanda Cinema has a small number of ordinary 2D films. I myself am nearsighted to wear glasses, do not want to wear another 3D glasses, look at the ordinary 2D version, look down the brightness is OK, is not big enough, should have endured to see the IMAX 3D version. Friends who are ready to watch network resources at home should also try to use tv or projection to watch, turn off the lights or dim the light a little when watching, and use a computer monitor or mobile phone to watch the effect is really not good.
