I would argue that the movie at a Dolby cinema is arguably better. I was really really impressed by the amount of imax footage though! First movie to rival Nolan’s use of imax IMO, and I would recommend seeing dune in Dolby if you haven’t already.

Christopher Nolan about Dune: "I think it’s an incredible piece of work. I’ve had the luxury of seeing it a couple times now, and each time I watch it I discover new things, new details to the world. The way in which it’s made is for the big screen. It’s a real pleasure and a real gift to film fans everywhere."

4:38 Fun fact about this iconic shot from Arrival: the fog rolling down the hills is not CGI, and was actually a complete accident. The crew got up early in the morning to get the shot, and saw all these clouds peeking out from beyond the valley, so they just went with it. The result is absolutely stunning.

[@honeytlbadger4365]

That's crazy. I was thinking it did look really natural.

[@serlegar]

It was filmed in his home country, Quebec, Canada

[@carlosalonsoperez2445]

It a beautiful accident.

[@Sgt_Peppe1999]

These are the movies that will last forever. Films like Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Dune and so on. Movies that will have an influence in the future like the masterpieces that are now 20 - 30 years old. Denis Villeneuve really is the beautiful, brillant mind that the cinema needs.

[@sammiller9855]

Arrival remains one of my all time favourite movies.

[@sammiller9855]

@CoolHandLuke To each their own. I appreciated that Arrival wasn't another Marvel-type superficial sci-fi movie--lots of action with little substance. Arrival was a contemplation, meditative at times, on the impact of language on perception. Imagine the impact on your own perception from learning an alien atemporal, non-linear language.

[@noelvalenzarro]

@CoolHandLuke then maybe you have to learn a little more about the world before you can enjoy it

[@noelvalenzarro]

@CoolHandLuke you’re definitely not over the hill yet then. Keep at it.

[@user-ej7kv8fp2n]

@CoolHandLuke Okay edgelord.

[@trentboshart4032]

The shots of the burning bus in Incendies & the helicopter shot of the clouds rolling into the spaceship in Arrival are two of my all-time favorite shots ever. Denis is a mastermind.

[@marcodekretser]

I think, among many other things, Denis' ability to telly a story visually is why he is one of the best directors working today. He has mastered 'show not tell' visuals. Theres something so poetic and resonant about his choices of frames; often parting from what you would expect a shot to focus on, and instead, delving in on subtle cues that convey the story. Whether that be a character's hands, a colour, faint wisp of wind or a dance of light; the shots force you deep within the souls of the characters he studies in his films. God I can't wait till lockdown ends here so I can watch Dune in cinemas.

[@Tmtrnr22]

You put it into words perfectly! I also love about his movies that he always takes his time to tell his story. Many of his movies feel so slow paced in comparison to other movies out there but that’s part of what makes them so special. Combined with what you said it makes his works into experiences.

[@anjhap]

Agree 100%

[@marcodekretser]

@@Tmtrnr22 Agreed! I used to think his pacing was akin to TV, but I think his ability to slow a scene down is much more purposeful and crafted than the way TV series slow burn. You can tell in all of his movies how “deeply in love” he is with them. The slow pacing of the scenes guides you to explore the frames and understand the level of depth and care that went into each and every one of them. I mean... who else is going to make a +200m blockbuster and focus on a bee on K’s hand for 10 seconds lol

[@DDCCCCOOOPP]

Beautifully said… I couldn’t agree more.

[@halfalligator6518]

very well put. Where are you in lockdown? I'm waiting in Melbourne for IMAX to open :(

[@priyac7054]

You know in Dune there is this one frame of Timothée Chalamet when he catches this spying bug that enters his room and he hides behind this ancient tree projection and the aura of that projected light hits the actor's dirty, sage-ish green eyes, and we the audience see it from the bug's pov riding on its antennae, as it makes it's way to the iris.. Like I REALLY wish KZbin had picture comments so that I could show you the EXACT SNAP.. IT'S BEAUTIFUL, I was excited to get that glimpse at the end of this video!

I wasn't born during the release of masterful epic such as, Lawrence of Arabia, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or even Ben-Hur and Seven Samurai. But, I am glad that I was born to witness Denis Villeneuve's work.

[@nupreview]

By far the best director in 21st century, everything that Denis made are just pure cinema, and mind you, he produced Enemy, Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, and BD 2049 only within 5 years! There's no doubt he'll be remembered as a one of the greatest directors with his own style, like Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa, etc.
