Good script, good cast, wonderful cinematography and score. Starts of slow but once it gets going it's a feast for the eyes. Intelligent adaptation too. Looking forward to the other parts of the trilogy. Not familiar with the James Herbert books or the '84 Lynch directed film but curiosity has now peaked.
In case you were tempted, I would say hold off on the '84 film for now, since it covers the 2nd half of the story. You probably want to watch the new part 2 first.

It starts off quite majestically but it feels like it runs out of steam. The editing as it goes along gets worse and feels really choppy. You can't fault the casting and the visual design is stupendous. There's a short clip showing the Atreides fleet flying into the Navigator's mothership and it is stunningly beautiful. You also get to see a navigator , mutated by spice which is pure Lynch. There's also weird shit just because... Lynch.... like the heartplugs and the beetle soft drinks that the Harkonnens have.

No, you are correct. I barely ever rewatch films these days, but I've watched both of them a few times.Wookienopants wrote:I really liked both Get Out and US. Am I now expelled from the group?
