^ Hm. I'm watching the 2021 Dune at the moment. I'm one hour in, house Atreides just went to have a look into the Dune desert - and I turned the movie off. - Mind you it is visually stunning, but man alive it is a bore. Maybe the pace takes up later, or maybe:
Or maybe because I have seen the 1984 movie many times. And I've seen that one the first time when I was a kid, and so the 1984 Baron Harkonnen truly scared the living crap out of me and the fight-training boxy looking shield CGI was so utterly impressive. - Not so in the current film.
After this one hour, all I have is one question: Why this remake?
And maybe I have just seen too many movies in general: Every time somebody asks "what's happening" and gets the answer "you will see" instead of a clear explanation of the situation I fall out of the movie and facepalm a little.
Sure I'm going to watch the 2021 Dune to the end, but still.
