The first advance screening for general audiences was on February 25 in IMAX cinemas. This thread is for people who have seen the film to discuss ahead of the official release on March 1.
SPOILERS AHEAD! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM AND DO NOT WANT TO GET SPOILED, STOP SCROLLING AND GO BACK NOW.
Mods, please let me know if this is appropriate and feel free to remove if not.
Enjoying it more than the first, but I’m in the group of people who don’t like the majority of Villeneuve’s work (certainly his blockbuster stuff other than Prisoners). Soundtrack is much more subtle but still lacking melody. Dune probably works better as a series. Zendaya’s acting is jarring, as usual. Timothy is an OK Paul.
Not a bad movie at all but not something I’ll want to rewatch again and again.
I am very much in the opposite group of people, as i really enjoyed Villeneuve’s Arrival, Sicario and Bladerunner, but actually didn’t care much about Prisoners.
I’d have to watch the movie again and focus on it more, but i also wasn’t quite happy with the soundtrack and i think your point of it lacking melody might be why.
I actually kinda like Zendaya, but i do have to admit that this wasn’t a strong acting performance.
Agree on the soundtrack. I took away no memorable bits other than the high/ low chords punctuating major incidents, but we’ve already heard that in earlier works.
