Wednesday was a really wet day here in the Lakes. We had planned to Dune one evening this week but we went on a really really wet afternoon driving through floods to get there.
It really is an epic film and it looks amazing. Denis Villeneuve is a master of modern sci-fi and the whole film looks beautiful.
This film, which is the first of two, sets the scene and introduces you to the characters. Although it is an epic film it really seems like it’s just the beginning and I can’t wait for the second in 2023.
I have to say though, it is not for everyone. We came out discussing the story, filling in each other’s gaps in the plot which were a bit difficult to follow. We didn’t come out feeling fully entertained we felt that we really enjoyed it but we’ve got too watch it again too get it fully. A bit of a “Tenet” experience. Some of the dialogue was unintelligible which is always frustrating.
On the whole though I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to watch it again probably with subtitles so I can fully understand the story and just to enjoy the visual experience of it all over again.
