At this point, honestly, a lot of Vision Pro criticism is coming from people butt-hurt about Apple inevitably beating everyone else to the finish line, years in advance, and especially in a way that doesn’t appeal precisely to their personal tastes

@thamosdeaf Yeah and it FUCKING RULES. Probably every reason you dislike this movie is something that makes me love it more. Different strokes! My ONE complaint is the dramatic simplification of the first 2 acts from the book. But even that’s not a proper critique…

Apple Vision Pro is the most useful VR headset so far and I don’t think this should be a controversial statement. Immersive VR gaming isn’t as important to everyone despite my love for it.

@didsofire @strngeternal @IngloriousHans @DiscussingFilm It’s not easy to understand but it is coherent. The action is undisputedly top tier and so is the music, cinematography, and acting. All of this makes it incredibly re watchable and by your 3rd to 5th time is indisputably a masterpiece.

@fiendformojitos Nor the intrinsic children’s entertainment aspect aspect of George’s vision. Objectively, it’s still best patch on the wide Star Wars tapestry, but it’s not the perfect encapsulation of “Star Wars”. And, that’s not a bad thing. SW should be more comfortable with specializing

Ehrlich’s a really smart guy who seems to care a lot about Dune. I just think his standards are way too high for what can reasonably be pulled from a production so inherently calibrated to drama at galactic scale. Movies can never be books & massive productions can’t be indie

@firewiskas @okon_marek The workflow between concept artists, set design, cinematography, and cg needs to be incredibly tight nit with constant care from the director. Very few films can pull it off but DUNE is the latest one that comes to mind. The film often looks 1:1 with art and sometimes better!
