How do you plan to watch Dune Part 2?

[hagios]

When/if it gets to 4K.

[stvn1974]

4k uhd.

[Cruel Angel]

Other: at home when the 4K comes out

[drb999]

On Max, then blu-ray

[SethRex]

GTX. It's my local theater's BIG screen.

[Batman1980]

I'm gonna go to El Paso and see it in LIEMAX.

[cheez avenger]

Dolby Cinema

[BluBonnet]

Good to know IMAX is still the #1 choice.

[originalHDphantom]

Probably just a regular showing for me (or I'll just wait for the Blu-ray). VERY disappointing that this one isn't in 3D. Wasted opportunity.

Visually stunning Dune: Part Two serves up oft-impenetrable story

https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/e...-movie-review/

There is no argument that Villenueve knows how to create a visually-stunning film, even one that is as CGI-heavy as this. He and cinematographer Greig Fraser (who won an Oscar for Dune: Part One) bring out all the tricks this time around, showcasing a landscape that could otherwise be monotonous in myriad interesting ways. A switch to black-and-white makes a mid-film fight sequence pop, and scenes with hundreds or thousands of people in them feel appropriately epic.

But once again, all of that visual splendor is in service of a story that is less than enthralling. Even though the nearly three-hour film would seem to give Villenueve and returning co-writer Jon Spaihts enough time to properly lay out the plot, they still choose to skip over seemingly key parts of certain characters’ arcs. This is especially true of the new characters, most of whom fail to make an impression, and even those who do are stuck with one-note journeys.

This seems to be because Villenueve is more interested in setting up future Dune movies than dealing with the one at hand. For those who may not know, Frank Herbert wrote six Dune books (with 18 more written by his son after his death), so a full-blown Dune Cinematic Universe is possible. There are a lot of allusions to things that will come in the future, including the life of Paul’s unborn sister (seen in flash-forward form as Anya Taylor-Joy), but they come at the expense of understanding the here-and-now, most notably Paul’s transition to a god-like figure.

70mm IMAX

Home projector surround sound UHD. It's not IMAX but it will be nice!

[Starman22]

I'll wait when on Max or physical media.

[L.J.]

On physical media, can't believe that's not an option.

I was originally planning on seeing this in IMAX but my wife said she wanted to go too and didn't want to wait for the later showing. Turns out I didn't like this nearly as much as the first part and IMAX wouldn't have changed that.

Pardon the ignorance but what is the difference between 70mm IMAX and just plain IMAX
