I’m far too young to have experienced star wars in theaters in 1977, but I saw Dune: Part Two in theaters this year, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit like I was watching star wars for the first time. It was so beautiful so alien, so thrilling, so totally different than anything I had seen even after decades of sci-fi and super hero movies. The music was also iconic and unique, and while star war’s vfx were groundbreaking for 1977 in a way vfx never can be again, I think Dune: Part Two achieved something else, perfect visual effects. It’s simply flawless, you might as well be looking at a movie that was filmed completely in camera, and yet what the camera has filmed is completely impossible. The arena scene in particular comes to mind as just mindblowingly different than anything else I’ve seen put to film.

Can anyone here who has seen both in theaters compare to see if I’m on the right track lol?
