The first one was so boring and lifeless it put me to sleep multiple times during multiple attempts at trying to watch it after so much "hype". That was a heck of an accomplishment because I usually enjoy immersive dense films. I really enjoyed Blade Runner. So I was really willing to give it an honest go.
I was told ok ok ok, well it gets better just wait for the 2nd one and they put out this ASMR monotone stiff flat wisper emotionless bored actor lazily reading a page with the feeling of an empty room? Where does it "get better"? Just stop whispering! Add some color. At least have the actors act like there is something of an environment that they're in.
Do people need to be on a drug to enjoy this series? Is there some secret I'm missing? It doesn't feel any different except all those visions is paid off with an equally flat plastic void of a relationship. Is this some inside joke or something?
I dunno. I guess it's not for you. No doubt a lot of my enjoyment came from seeing a book series I love being brought to the screen again. Regardless, it's ok not to like it and be confounded as to why others do
idk I smoked a bunch of weed while watching it and it still wasn't very good
tbf there is color, it's just that the only color is O R A N G E. I actually liked the monochromatic color palette, it was one of the only things I really liked about the movie. but the dunes themselves should have been more orange IMO. the sand in exterior scenes is just kinda white which is boring
As a fan of the books, they cut out so much necessary stuff I can't blame anyone for being bored. Part 2 looks like it is going to cut even more.
That's the issue I've got with this adaptation as a Dune Guy. Dune is fucking weird and the visuals should look like they could be airbrushed on a 70s van
