Wait for Dune 2.
My suggestion is to watch the first one again.
I didn't like the first one at first but it really grew on me after a few times.
Saw Oppenheimer today. IMO only pure outdoor scenes are still worth watching in a movie theater these days. Nice leather $1000 motor recliners with big trays are great, but that just makes it easier to sleep. Which I did throughout much of this movie. The place we went to tonight had the high-mid range turned to max. I wish I'd brought earplugs. The place was mostly empty except for the group of kids who kicked us out of our seats just after the movie started. Assigned seating? What is this an airplane?
The movie has a great A-B list cast.
Murphy and Blunt carried it. Didn't recognize Robert Downey Jr. at first. Damon didn't know who he was portraying.
I highly suspect A.I was used in this film...
But it is a Christopher Nolan movie.
(cough Young untrained Batman easily defeats an entire clan of ninjas in their own home.)
(cough A crowd of cops can bum-rush a crowd of criminals with AKs a thousand yards down the street and only a few die)
Take any Nolan scene.
Streeeeetch it out. Just when the viewer thought it was all done, stretch it some more.
All emotion.
No facts.
And facts is what this movie was supposed to be.
