Yeah the enjoyment curve for trailers peaks around 6 for me, and after that it starts getting annoying. 10 would be tough to bear

Finally got around to seeing this this weekend. Loved the look of this movie. Kind of difficult to judge otherwise since despite the length it only feels like half a movie. Watching the movie I couldn't help but feel that somebody who hasn't read the books would be a bit lost, but I think there's enough random info thrown in here and there to make a person understand a lot in a very broad sense. I went with my son who was totally unfamiliar with Dune and he seemed to mostly get it, though he didn't really get what the Bene Gesserit's role in all of this is supposed to be or why they have superpowers.

I was on a panel chat last night talking about the film and we pretty much all agreed that Hans Zimmer’s score was forgettable(in that none of us remembered anything about it) but the sound design was top-notch

I have not seen it. I read the first book for the first time at age 11 and have loved it ever since. My brother, who is as much of a devotee as I am, loved it, but . . . I just don't know.

I'm not sure how widespread this is, but at least in NYC, they've put this back into multiplexes, including IMAX screens, for at least a few times this week. Must be part of their Oscar campaign? I've gotten a lot of For Your Consideration ads for it lately.

rules in IMAX. the second viewing definitely highlighted some issues for me (including a couple of takes from Chalamet that rang a little false this time around)..... but also let me just kick back and embrace the audiovisual journey. this thing gets so much more value out of its CGI just by slowing the fuck down and letting me sit in the weirdness of these alien worlds. still, part ii better stick the landing.

It's kind of wild to me how much better this was in IMAX, don't think I've felt that way about a film before

There's less notable contrast at certain points in IMAX but it is a truly immersive and striking watch that way, no lie.

Meantime, a bit via io9:
During a recent interview with The Playlist, screenwriter Jon Spaights confirmed Dune, Part II will set up a potential third movie, Dune Messiah:Dune Messiah is the next book, and it’s one of three books with Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune, that covers the lives of the characters we meet in the first novel. Subsequently, there’s a giant leap in time and the series gets stranger and more epic as it carries on. But Dune Messiah picks up years after the close of Dune, and yes, Denis has talked seriously about making that film as well, as a conclusion of the trilogy. Dune Messiah is a very interesting book, which in some ways, deconstructs Dune and plays as a cautionary tale, even more than Dune does, about the dangers of blending religion and politics, the hazards of following charismatic leaders, and the dangerous struggle that’s always alive between the individual and institutions.There are a few tantalizing strands that lead into the future and suggest that we might not be done in this universe, despite the fact that the ending of Dune as a novel, which will be the ending of the second film, is a very satisfying conclusion. There are a number of ways in which the book also sounds ominous notes, and there are hints of foreboding about what made be yet to come.

This is probably a typo/transcription error, but I want to believe it’s what he said
Because of the world, you have built, are there any thoughts of leaving the door open at the end of the second film for a third film? I believe “Messiah” is the next book in that respect.Yes. Frank Herbert wrote six novels, I believe, with a seventh partially completed upon his death that was completed preposterously by his son.

Meantime the prequel TV series continues being a thing:
https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/dune-prequel-series-hbo-max-johan-renck-director-1235242651/
The “Dune” prequel series at HBO Max has brought Johan Renck onboard to direct the first two episodes.Renck will also serve as an executive producer on the show, currently titled “Dune: The Sisterhood.” It was ordered straight-to-series at HBO Max in June 2019. Previously, “Dune” director and co-writer Denis Villeneuve was attached to direct the pilot for “Dune: The Sisterhood,” but his work on the “Dune” sequel film will prevent him from doing so.The show is set 10,000 years prior to the events of “Dune” and follows the Harkonnen Sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.
