Beige, beige, beige, black, white...
The old Dune movie was stunning and bright. It is like nowadays when they make a sci fi movie it has to look as boring as possible, because they think it is taken more serisouly if they just avoid all colours.
That is a good question, I noticed it too, almost like it was shot by a different director, when compared to the aesthetic palate of part 1 , not saying that part 2 was done poorly just not in the same vein as part 1.
It’s almost like Denis was going for a completely different aesthetic tone in part 2, which doesn’t make sense to me as I thought he nailed the aesthetics in part 1.
I know what you mean. Even the '84 Dune and the 2000 miniseries had more colors than these two films.
I was particularly annoyed at the "black sun" and no colors concept on Geidi Prime, considering it was absolute BS in terms of scientific accuracy regarding stars. I talked about it here: https://moviechat.org/tt15239678/Dune-Part-Two/65e8db3df73f3872098c8321/Sorry-no-such-thing-as-a-black-sun
there is is no such thing as anything shown in any DUNE film
shareWhat colours did the book mention? Maybe the director actually visited a desert!
shareThe old Dune movie sucked ass. All the people suddenly reminiscing about Dune 84 being so great, Have you actually watched it ? The sandworms look like sockpuppets. Literally.
There is plenty , plenty to criticize about the 1984 Dune. One of the main things is it just doesn't stand up to the other 80s sci fi movies. The competition is ridiculous. The original Terminator, Empire Strikes Back. Dune 1984? Come on... it certainly tells the Dune story, to an effect, but it's really not a great film. Extending it didn't help either, it was just like extending LOTR: Needless.
