Dune (2021). I've never read the book, I feel that I've only had a superficial look at the story, and much is not fully understandable. This is clearly a complex story but seems overlong to me. The visuals are great! 5/10.

Watched this last night in the Odeon Leicester Square. Fully reclining seats and a bar. It's great to watch a film with a glass of malt whisky in your hand. The sound quality was immense and listening to the thopters was quite something!

Rewatched it at home, and with the subtitles on. Made a lot more sense and I was harsh marking it as 5/10. So 7.5/10 would be my new score. Need a bigger tele!

Some films definitely need watching more than once to appreciate them fully. I too wasn’t overly taken by Dune, you’ve prompted me to take my own advice and revisit it some time.

I think it's a film that needs to be watched on a bigscreen. The bigger the better, with boom boxes aplenty. I watched it at home and was extremely disappointed.

After watching the original some years ago its really put me off watching this version.

Agree. Saw it at the cinema with my son. He loved it, I was a bit..meh. So maybe one to watch in the future.

The Hans Zimmerman score was perfect. He creates some great music for films.

Didn’t come over well on my wife’s 50 inch screen.The screen in my study is too small to comment on. Maybe one of the new 70 inch ones would do it justice?

Agreed , Gladiator score is my personal favourite.
