WOW!

Cranked up the BOSE speakers and were just totally blown away by it.

I love this kind of movie anyway and had been so looking forward to it.

to get to the meat of the story.

I'm too old to wait a year for more. I might not be here by then, dammit!

I said the same thing after the same director's Blade Runner sequel. It was visually stunning, but I also forgot about it about as quickly as lifting the sheet of an etch-a-sketch after leaving the cinema. This is unlike the original which stayed with me for days afterwards.

I loved BR49, easily one of the best films I've ever seen in a theater, in many ways (IMO) surpassing the original. I really, REALLY like this director.

Dune is very good, especially compared to the adaptations that preceded it.

They did just about as good a job as I could imagine anyone doing . . . . oh and Stellan Skarsgard - just waiting for more Harkonnen screen time.

Who in the world is going to be Feyd-Rautha?
