    You have to understand that he instantly saw the 10000 years of his genetic line, his fate, his ancestors, the past, the future. The infinite present. He is now an omniscient being. It is inescapable. It's a bit of determinism too.

     

    "Paul" dies when he drinks that blue liquid. Whoever comes out... is the Kwisatz Haderach. Doomed to be trapped in his destiny that he can't escape from.

     

    I thought the movie explained it just enough for me, but I understand how it can be confusing. 

     

    If he knows all the possible futures then wouldn't he also know how to prevent it? How to prevent millions from dying? Why can't he escape from destiny?  Terminator taught me "There's no fate but what we make for ourselves". :P

     

  2. As much as i loved the movie i share the sentiment that the last 30 minutes felt rushed. I have not read the books and i felt Paul's "transformation" wasn't really earned. From reluctant messiah swept up in the events he seemingly out of nowhere goes all bonkers and wants to rule the galaxy. Don't drink water that is blue, it's bad for you, i guess.

  3. Just came back from Dune. This is what theaters were made for. What a treat!

     

    A great 2nd weekend drop but damn you forum for making me feel just ever so slightly disappointed lol.

     

    There will be some roadblocks on the road to 300m, namely when it'll start losing PLF screens, so i'm having my doubts. Couple weeks ago anything above 200m would have been gravy, it will easily exceed that. I should be happy.

    Distant colony setting, about group of teenagers, takes place between 1 and 2, another Ripley-sque lead character, nasty violence.

     

    Distant colony setting, taking place between 1 and 2, nasty violence, all get a thumbs-up from me.

     

    Group of teenagers.... again.... iffy.

     

    But really, any concept can be good, what matters is the execution.
