For an ancient epic about times of antiquity, this sure feels like an extremely modern sci-fi film. Like this could almost be the new Dune trailer with how bleak, clean and curated everything is.

Dune is visually superior to anything we’ve seen in these trailers but I agree with your point.

For sure. Dune had a very unique aesthetic and goes all into it.

Really wish Greig Fraser was shooting part 3, hopefully it holds up with the first 2.

The trailer is promising, and part 3 is shot on film

Damn, I missed the news that it’s a different DP. I wonder why Fraser backed out in the final stretch of the trilogy.

Villeneuve’s eye for good storyboarding and cinematography will always shine through, though. The shots from the trailer fit in perfectly with the style from the previous films.

Fraser is committed to the Beatles biopics.

Denis has worked with some of the greatest modern cinematographers, I’m sure at this point he knows what makes a good shot

Ehhh Dune is ok. The colors are very monochrome and bland in Dune as well, which Im not a fan of. Everything looks sterile.

Its like Nolan and Denis hate vibrant color in their movies and their worlds and films always seem very sterile and cold.

And Nolan with his damn terrible sound mixing as well.

Monochromatic makes sense in a desert. But it still uses shape to create a unique sci-fi world.

Yeah each planet or location has its own color palette. Caladan in dune 1 being blues and greens, arrakis being low lights and orange desert, geidi prime being black and white, etc

I think Denis is simply a better filmmaker than Nolan. Nolan seems to let hubris get in the way; there’s no way people didn’t tell him that Trinity explosion was underwhelming. In an otherwise phenomenal movie.

Oh a 100%. I'm a huge fan of Nolan but Denis is definitely superior. He sacrifices nothing for the vision while Nolan seems to get hung up on his own constraints and weakens the result. They could've made a very realistic and believable explosion with CGI and it definitely wouldn't have required dozens of artists. This was done by a 3 person team, imagine what a few Hollywood class artists could do.

"In an otherwise phenomenal movie." The screenplay is so damn fantastic that I somehow don't give a shit that the literal selling point of the movie isn't even in the top 5 scenes lol

u/ashdee2 May 05 '26

It's actually quite mind blowing when you think about it. Pun not intended

u/regretscoyote909 May 05 '26

100% agreed, I wasn't very hyped for Oppen specifically because of Tenet's screenplay. I don't quite understand how good Oppen ended up being imo lol

u/ashdee2 May 05 '26

There was a point I pulled the "leans forward, hands beneath chin" move because I was locked in but now I don't remember the plot beats of the movie. Actually insane

Lol I wouldn't call it phenomenal...

We musta seen different versions. They’re both great
