Dune 2 - I wouldn't say I love the Dune movies, I'm unlikely to rewatch them, but they are a pretty solid bit of scifi and everything that has to do with the action is incredible from a visual standpoint. I think a little bit of my disinterest comes from never connecting with the overall lore and story, it's fine, but for some reason doesn't do a lot for me, it's a lot of odd stuff to do with visions and psychic powers, it's not a ton of appeal there. Still good movies and even saying that, I'm curious to see where the next one goes as I heard the next one is supposed to be a lot stranger I believe.
Civil War (2024) - Always had a thing for dystopian/post-apocalyptic films, but you don't see a lot of this turmoil in America type setups unless it's a zombie or virus outbreak, and I think its interesting tackling it from the point of view of war journalists. It's trying to not pick a political side, but I feel like it leans abit more one way than the other with the President. It's not going for a message that I can tell, maybe I'm overlooking it, honestly, the Civil War part is almost just set dressing for a story about these war journalists trying to get the best shots, detached from the horrors happening all for the sake of the best photo's. It all leads up to a very weird ending and it has some odd tonal issues dotted throughout. Truly hard to get a read on it.
It's a solid, intense watch for most of it even if it's abit odd at times.
