But Villeneuve did a good enough job with Blade Runner that I might check out Dune, even though I'm completely ambivalent about the source material.

WHat is going wrong with movies outside of the political stuff and the China stuff, is movie making is gone. Everything is a flat CGI. All the movies look the same, the same hue's, same awful camera angles. The BUDGETS are too big, and that has stopped movie innovation. Soudtracks are no longer memorable.

I loved Power Rangers, hated the movie. There was NO reason for those Zords and battles to be CGI. It looked terrible, like a transformers battle, it's hard to follow tje action bc of the close up camera shots. Lower the CGI, lower the budget and be creative and faithful to the fans.

Statistically, people forget CGI, and it does NOT leave a lasting impression like practical effects. People rememberered Dune and Children of Dune, but this movie will be forgettable and in 2020/2021, it will probably bomb. Wish it the best, but will buy the figures, especially the McFarlane 12" ones. McFarlane is legit. Minus that first wave or 2 of DC Multiverse, they have been outstanding.
