Went to a movie theater tonight for the first time in a long time. Tickets were 12 bucks a head. I used to go all the time back in the early 00's, and I think tickets were 8 or 9 bucks back then. I'm not saying it SHOULD'VE cost more, but I was sort of expecting it to - like 18 or 20 bucks. Sort of affordable, so I might actually start going more. I went to see...
Dune Part Two (2024)
Been anticipating this one for a while. I dunno if I posted about it before but... I was NOT a fan of the old 1980's Dune movie that was directed by David Lynch. I thought it was CRAP.
(I saw the 2nd image when I was googling the first one and thought it was a great coincidence - Kyle Maclachlan was in the old Dune movie.)
The new ones don't suck at all. The first one is great. I've seen it probably 3 or 4 times now - watched it again earlier today before heading out to see Part Two just as a refresher. I've never read the books and really wasn't able to pay close enough attention to the old version to know the story well enough.
Part Two is good, but it did seem to jump forward in time a little abruptly without warning in a couple of spots - perhaps there were a lot more scenes that they had to cut out for time constraints (the movie was about 2hrs 45mins - part one was close to that too). Definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
I give part one a 9.8/10, part two a 9.7/10.
