Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that there are reasons to think that This new installment could be even more stimulating than the first.
It was probably because I wasn’t in the right “place” for it but I had a hard time with part 1 and couldn’t finish it. However I’ve really been wanting to, I’ve wondered if part of it was knowing that there’s a whole ending still to come.
It’s funny, I usually finish movies through no matter what but recently there have been 3 movies that I just had to stop that hasn’t happened in over 20 years. The first was Outcast, a foreign film with Nic Cage and Hayden Christiansen. My friend and I couldn’t finish it.
The second was Dune, which was a very different feeling of why I couldn’t finish it being mostly a length/focus/thought I was ready but wasn’t. I wanted to be invested in it but I personally was unable to when I watched it.
The third was Avatar: Way of the Water where I got like 45 minutes in and just couldn’t keep going because there felt like no reason to be invested in it. Unlike Dune, I won’t be going back to finish this one I think
@wolfshadowheart have to admit, it took me two installments to finish Dune as well, even though it’s visually stunning.
I’m not sure if the problem was the film’s pacing or my metabolism. But in the end I liked it and it shounds like Dune 2 will have a bit more action.
I haven’t seen those other two.
