Dune would have made an epic TV series (mini series) I reckon.
There was one in 2000. Never seen it myself.

I tried. It was pretty shit.
Phenomenal book, really hard to get a good film out of it

The 1984 film was inconsistently awesome if that makes sense. I have massive hopes for this years version.

So, watches matrix reloaded yesterday
All in all…better than expected, cgi holds up better than most +20 year old films and the fight scenes are awesome
Biggest criticism is the convoluted exposition, they could have simplified the language but I went in expecting it so really tried to pay attention
I’m one of those that on rewatch thinks the phantom menace isn’t as bad as it’s reputation and I think reloaded at least might be the same…still flaws but the 70% it gets on rotten tomatoes might be about right

@nzzp I dunno, I just saw Cranston on the poster and did a double take.
I thought it was Dylan from 90210
I thought it was van Damme for a moment.
And yeah - I tried to find it, for a lazy review, but my entertainment provider of choice - a certain Bay of Pirates - doesn't seem to have it available.

I quite enjoyed that film, but it was truly weird. Sting in a weird codpiece ... just bizarre.

Yeah I did too but it’s taken me quite a few viewings to reach that conclusion. Some really shitty SFX at times was a definite downside as was stuff that didn’t make sense if you hadn’t read the book. Definitely weird but definitely a rewarding watch. The Baron is a disgustingly awesome villain and Sting was creepy too.

And now revolutions…also much better than I remember
Trailer for the new one makes more sense now

Ad Astra
Brad Pitt space stuff came up on Prime Video so yeah cue it up.
I'd heard bad things but I actually enjoyed it. I usually don't like a slow-paced movie but they set it up right from the get-go and it added to the tone of the film. I thought Pitt was pretty good in exploring the whole solitude aspect of space travel etc. He's a magnetic mofo and the chicks dig him for a reason.
I realise it was set in "The Near Future" but there wasn't a lot of SpaceX touch screen action with the craft he was occupying.
3.5 nuclear toasties out of 5 feeding bags.
:::
No fucking way he's swimming through a lake and getting on that space ship as it's taking off tho. That was stretching it.
