I personally can't wait to see if he pulls it off. I loved ARRIVAL and BLADE RUNNER 2049.

 

And I liked the first trailer, but love this one...

Yep. Worth the wait for me.

 

I did not get the pacing issues at all that critics mention. It was well paced...like a wave in fact with its errs and flows.

 

Will be seeing again and want the sequel NOW.

A friend suggested we go see this and, honestly, I had no expectations beyond the trailer. I don't know the book or anything like that. I thought it was enthralling. The story-setting and story-telling kind of washes over you at length and it feels almost like one of Paul's fever dreams at times. Timothee Chalamet is compelling and intense despite having a cipher role with not that much dialogue -- I thought he did well in truly centering the movie. Special mention to Rebecca Ferguson as his mother, Jessica -- what a mystery she is: is she a cult-member/religious zealot? A loving mother? An opportunist? An evil villain? I still don't know.

The work Villeneuve and his team did in creating these worlds/societies with their own languages, cultures, sciences, environments, and phenomena must have been insane. This literally transports you to another galaxy which is somewhat recognizable to our own. And House Ariedes getting bogged down in a desert quagmire as it seeks to exploit the local energy source has shades of the US invasion of Iraq.

Hope there is a Part Two!

My apologies. I meant to get to this sooner. And yes...Oct 2023 for Part 2.

I remember the 1984 version and have the first book and watched the SciFi Channel series and have waaaay too many friends who are uberfans, but I've been wanting to see people's opinions who have not read the book or series because I know Villanueve (who is an uberfan himself) went out of his way to take such a complex series and make it accessible to people who never read the books. Happy to see that he succeeded.   

 

And yes!!! Same. I felt the whole movie moved like a wave.

 

How about Lady Jessica is...all of the above?  I thought Rebecca played it well. My uberbook friend felt differently. Because Lady Jessica can be a BadA*(, but reserved and she felt Lady Jessica was not reserved enough. I don't know if you watched FARSCAPE but kinda like the character of Zhaan. 

 

OOOooooo and the worldbuilding. I cannot begin to tell you how since I've seen it, my mind has been so inspired to create. And I'm doing something for NaNoWriMo this year so inspirationg springs.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHAHA

      I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.

      Welcome back, Shawn Douglas! It's been a while. It really is too bad that the writers don't really have an interest in the character because there are still a lot of ways that he can be used effectively on the canvas. He should have been a part of the 60th anniversary celebrations as well. If anything, just to represent Bo and Hope. And I'd much rather see Jada paired with him than possibly with Theo. But I enjoyed him getting caught up with Belle, and comforting her. I'm sure they'll find their way back to each other at some point but I do like them as divorced friends. I just hope we see it play out onscreen. Belle being a dick about Sami again was unnecessary though. And we finally saw Liam again!  I'm curious to see how this storyline is going to play out, and who's going to be weaved into it. He and Abe do work well together too. And we learned that he has a kid. Hopefully, we'll learn more about his character in the future. But I'm not really sure about Johnny and Chanel suddenly having problems with raising Trey. They've wanted a baby for so long, so I don't understand why this is even an issue. They should know by now what it's like to raise a baby. But I did enjoy Johnny's scenes with EJ, and that Johnny still hasn't refused to forgive him. This storyline was/is very clunky, but having the two of them be at odds is the right decision. There's so much story potential that can be drawn from that. As for Chad... there was no time for us to see his reunion with Will, but there's time for us to see him talking BS with Leo? I don't get it. And I don't get all this random dating app stuff either. Leo and Javi were boring af too. If we're forced to endure them, can they at least have some real conflict? The two of them losing the baby was the perfect opportunity for it.

      I enjoy BF better on Days than on YR.   Chad is greater than Cane, in my opinion.
