Just got out of seeing it in imax.
Just wow. One of the few movies that lived up to the hype and visually it is one of the most stunning films I have ever seen. The whole scene on Giedi Prime is otherworldly and sets the Harkonnens up as a malevolent force that is the complete opposite of the Atreides we see in the first film.
Only complaint is that while the first part was 99% faithful to the book, part two drops to about 90% and also cuts out what I think are pivotal scenes in the book. Still it was never going to be easy to choose what to drop without turning it into a 4 hour movie and overall it all works incredibly well.
I was just reading about that Geidi Prime scene, I just assumed it was digitally altered to get the look, but apparently the whole thing was shot using infra red.
Absolutely stunning visuals.
Wild, what a cool idea
They did a similar thing for the night scenes in "NOPE". Shot both in IR and normal to get that moonlight look.
Villeneuve really likes his infrared. There's the tunnel assault scene in Sicario shot with IR as well.
Thank you for your comment!
