Dune: Part Three

My memory is blurred, to you what are the most changes you disliked?

I guess my biggest complaints were the underplaying Mentats, making Jessica seem less a concubine which made her influence in the books more enviable by others and, in my mind, added to the Atreides moral high ground, and Chani’s girl bossing. If I remember correctly, the great houses don’t initially challenge Paul as they do in the movie, but I also think much of the politics with CHOAM are left out. It’s been a while for me too. The change to not having a kid kill the Barron was probably ok given how they decided to smush down the timeline of the first book. There was already a good deal of time jump between books 1 and 2.

I could attack Liet Kynes, but that was just bullshit Hollywood sex swap. I’m pretty sure the Fremen were not necessarily monolithiclly brown people in the books either, but that’s Hollywood being its dipshit self.

70mm imax tickets now on sale in handful of cities

Aren't AMC and Regal still LieMAX? Or did they acquire some that are the real thing?

I agree the removal of the importance of Mentats and pauls training in that art and how it effects his Prescience was poorly done.

I dont mind them removing the red herring of Lady Jessica being thought of as a traitor and Thufirs ball dropping of the attack.

They also undersold the Suk doctor training and how no one could have ever saw Yeuhs betrayal, but it worked fine in film.

Really my only complaints were the exclusion of the Spacing Guild and Navigators and Chanis girl boss shit. And I hate that they condensed Muadibs ascent from years to months

most IMAX is liemax in the USA but there are like 15 theaters that are true 70mm imax, the list is in that instagram post above. 4 alone in LA.

Liemax isn't too bad nowadays either, most are dual digital 4k Dolby projectors so its just the screen thats not quite as tall as true 70mm imax. Biggest issue is most theaters have only teenagers as staff now so the screens aren't properly calibrated, light leakage isn't fixed, seats can be broken for years, etc. Since staff turnover is extremely high there is no pride in your work, unless you get a theater manager who is a film nerd.

Even if it was real IMAX I still would rather just watch it at home.
