there's was a trailer for something like ""KING KONG AND THE LEDGEND OF GODZILLA" before Dune 2, and one of the first shots of the trailer was some giant thing smashing through 3 bridges in a row, and it's just like totally meaningless. the cgi possibilities make it so some movies are happening in a universe where everything is a video game and anything can happen and it's all meaningless. there's no weight or reality or groundedness. and then by comparison, the movie of Dune shows all of these machines and battles in this way that feels like real people dealing with giant machines and it's so cool! i don't remember the first movie that much but i thought this one was a blast. and it was cool to see a full theater for a movie at 2pm on a monday. movie theaters won't go away right?
