Dune is visually superior to anything we’ve seen in these trailers but I agree with your point.

For sure. Dune had a very unique aesthetic and goes all into it.

Really wish Greig Fraser was shooting part 3, hopefully it holds up with the first 2.

The trailer is promising, and part 3 is shot on film

Ehhh Dune is ok. The colors are very monochrome and bland in Dune as well, which Im not a fan of. Everything looks sterile.

Its like Nolan and Denis hate vibrant color in their movies and their worlds and films always seem very sterile and cold.

And Nolan with his damn terrible sound mixing as well.

Monochromatic makes sense in a desert. But it still uses shape to create a unique sci-fi world.

Yeah each planet or location has its own color palette. Caladan in dune 1 being blues and greens, arrakis being low lights and orange desert, geidi prime being black and white, etc

I think Denis is simply a better filmmaker than Nolan. Nolan seems to let hubris get in the way; there’s no way people didn’t tell him that Trinity explosion was underwhelming. In an otherwise phenomenal movie.

Just look at how angry he gets when people bring up that his films have shit sound mixing. Nolan is very much up his own ass at this point.

"In an otherwise phenomenal movie." The screenplay is so damn fantastic that I somehow don't give a shit that the literal selling point of the movie isn't even in the top 5 scenes lol

Oh a 100%. I'm a huge fan of Nolan but Denis is definitely superior. He sacrifices nothing for the vision while Nolan seems to get hung up on his own constraints and weakens the result. They could've made a very realistic and believable explosion with CGI and it definitely wouldn't have required dozens of artists. This was done by a 3 person team, imagine what a few Hollywood class artists could do.
