‘Dune’ is too big for your TV

‘Dune’ is too big for your TV

The real world just feel too small when I get out of Dune Denis Villeneuve. There are no very large spacecraft that is ready to skyrocket to the planet in a distant galaxy. There is no brutal palace in the middle of the endless desert Vista. There are no roaming scholars roaming, wanting to devour anyone who disturbs them. Only me and traffic in Atlanta I-285.

This latest mound adaptation is not perfect – sometimes empty emotionally, and basically arranged for the second film that we might never see – but managed to transport me to the universe Frank Herbert ago. The film focuses on half of the novel, telling the story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), a protected Baron son who moved to the planet of the Arrakis desert. This is an important post, because this is the only world that produces Melange, or Spice, which moves the trips between stars. But when Paul quickly learned, it was also a dangerous place for the elite family, and that’s where he learned that he might also be a potential Messiah. You know, typical teenage items.

After being amazed by Dune in the theater, I planned to rewind at home at HBO Max, where it was also released today. But I am sure the experience will not be the same, even on a 120-inch projector screen. This Dune demands to be seen on something even bigger – a place where your feelings can be ran off. Dune made me feel like Paul Atreides stood in front of Skyscraper sand glass, waiting for consumption. And I welcome it.

Of course, there is no simple thing to travel to the cinema lately, not with Coronavirus still raging and fellow theater audiences refuse to take basic precautions. (Vaccine is safe. Mask works. Please protect yourself and others.) But if you can see it safely in theaters – maybe by renting a private screen with friends – you will be reminded of what makes the experience so special. . I watched it in the second row of a distinctive multiplex theater, and still my floor. I can only imagine what it is on a full-sized IMAX screen, which can reach up to 98 feet.
