Sadly the 3D in Dune (2021) is not stellar (unlike its cinematography). The 3D aspect of this movie is clearly an after thought, and is far from necessary to enjoy this movie. The 3D is functional as it shows depth in many scenes. The 3D is especially nice in close ups. That being said many scenes are in the shadows, and many wide shoots look flat. Also, there aren't any pop out 3D moments. If you are really jonesing for a new 3D cinema experience, it will do; but I'd save my money for something else in 3D. Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate the 3D aspect of this movie. The 3D in Dune 2021 is fine and it does’t look bad, but overall I was hoping for more.

Movie

Dune (1965 novel by Frank Herbert) is considered to be one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time. Dune is the sci-fi equivalent of the Lord of the Rings, as its a masterpiece in its genre. I am happy to report that this Dune (2021) movie is a truly great film.

Dune almost single handily inspired generations to focus on environmental issues. Dealing with environmental issues is a big part of this movie. Many of the environmental events in the Dune Saga have come to pass (more or less) and that history adds a weight to the story that makes it more timely than when it was first published in the 1965. Denis Villeneuve and others made the smart decision to shift the story from focusing on white savior space Jesus to that of a struggling occupied desert people. The planet of Arrakis is being destroyed to harvest materials to fuel endless wars for an empire. Unlike previous adaptions, reading the novel is not necessary to follow the storyline in this film. Also, it helps that we now live in a post Game of Thrones world, where audiences are used to these science fiction / fantasy intrigue and complicated storylines. Anything that you need to know is told via massive exposition dumps that are delivered to the audience in the many scenes. Exposition is the primary way they set up the story in this movie. This movie adds details not seen in previous adaptions, helping the narrative hang together better for those unfamiliar with the novel. Several changes were made to add action and create tension in an otherwise mostly talking head drama. Unfortunately just as the movie really gets going, it abruptly ends. Not to spoil the movie but only one part of the first novel (six total) is filmed for this movie. Hopefully there is a Part 2 (and more?) soon, so audiences can see the conclusion of this epic sci-fi tale. Don’t let the cliffhanger ending scare you away what we did get in this movie is glorious. This is a risky venture on revamped franchise's first outing to end this movie in a cliffhanger. Are fans going to be left hanging without a conclusion (besides the two other films and the original novel) if this movie doesn't perform in the box office? We shall see, but I am definitely interested in seeing more Dune movies (or big budget TV show) in the future. In some ways it feels allot like Alita Battle Angel all over again.

Dune (2021) is a great beautiful movie. Fans of the novel should be very happy with this movie. If you never read the novel you will still be able to enjoy this epic movie. This film by Denis Villeneuve is by far the best film adaption of Herbert's ecological, political and religious novel. The other two adaptions have their moments, but they truly fall short capturing the epic tale. In closing Dune (2021) is well worth your time.

No Time to Die 007 3D Movie Review

3D

The 3D in No Time To Die looks fabulous, but it is also flawed. Inconsistent is the best word to describe the 3D visuals of the latest James Bond movie No Time to Die. Maybe the 3D was rushed because some scenes really take advantage of the 3-D and other scenes are fairly flat. Some scenes are shoot with shaky cam and are in darkly lit locations so that was a minor issue with the 3D too. All that being said when the 3D is present I really loved it. The 3D is used in smart ways and is mostly depth based. You will get some pop outs but they are few and far between. It’s not a spoiler to say that James Bond movies typically start with a barrel of a gun aiming toward Bond and Bond shoots it. In this movie that barrel looks fantastic in 3D. It really gave you the real sense that you were in the gun aiming at bond. James Bond movies are also known to include a musical video for the titular song attached to the movie. In this movie the musical video (sung by the incredible Billie Eilish) looked amazing in 3D as many objects were moving around in the different layers of 3D. The movie has many long passageways and the 3D really helps give the illusion of depth. The 3D comes and goes in the movie. One scene would look wonderful in 3D with multiple layers of 3D and the next scene would have very limited 3D visuals. To my knowing this is the first James Bond movie released theatrically in 3D, and overall I really enjoyed the 3D aspect of this movie. The excellent 3D moments definitely outweighed the mediocre 3D moments. 3D fans will be very happy watching No Time To Die in 3-D.

Final Verdict: Great 3D

Movie

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond. It’s been six long years (feels much longer) since the last James Bond movie (Spectre) released. For me the Daniel Craig Bond movies have been hit or miss, so is this movie a hit or a miss?

No Time To Die begins as James Bond is retired from MI6 and is living the good life with Madeleine Swann (From Spectre). As you might expect James Bond is pulled back into the spy business and isn't able to enjoy his retirement. A deadly virus has become weaponized and it has escaped a lab. The world is in peril as a mysterious villain threatens the world with a global pandemic. This isn’t a recap of 2020, it’s the plot of the newest James Bond movie. This is only a small taste of the plot of this movie. Don’t worry this movie has many fun twists and turns in this fun spy movie. I was gripped by the story from beginning to end.

Daniel Craig really excels in this movie, and he delivers in his final performance as James Bond. The chemistry that Daniel Craig (James Bond) has with Léa Seydoux (Madeleine) is fantastic. It really shows on screen and it cements this movie with an emotional core. This movie is both a sequel to its predecessor (Spectre), and is its own adventure. I suggest you watch a recap of the previous Bond movie Spectre before watching this movie because many events from that movie are referenced in this movie. In fact this might be the only major flaw in this movie. This movie is dependent on the events of the mediocre Spectre movie. If you don’t remember that movie you might be a little lost in this movie. I was not a big fan of Spectre so I wish that this movie was more of a stand alone film. Essentially all of the characters from the previous movies (that are still alive) return in this movie and they work well together. The character of Nomi (Lashana Lynch) is the only character that I didn’t love. I felt like the screen writers shoehorned her into this movie. I liked her performance but they always seemed to always find ways to write her off screen. Overall the character interactions are superb and No Time to Die has a fantastic cast.

In many ways No Time to Die is a love letter to James Bond fans. It has all the Bond tropes : awesome action, cool gadgets, beautiful women, and an over the top villain. It panders to the audience and does it in style. The movie is long but it flows well. No Time To Die is both an entertaining and is a well-crafted movie. The movie is so much fun that I was both sad and giddy when the credits rolled. Daniel Craig ends his run as James Bond with a fantastic film. I truly loved my time watching No Time To Die. Daniel Craig is the best James Bond and No Time To Die is simply the best James Bond Movie.

Final Verdict: 9/10
