Current Events > Was Dune really badly lit, or did i just go to a bad screening?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Everything was really dark and washed out. The big sandworm scene was unwatchable. Like, Battle of Winterfell level.

Not sure if it was the lighting or the post-processing, but I haven't seen anyone else mentioning it, so I'm assuming it was a projection problem at the cinema I went to.

Yeah it must've been the theater.

I mean I have seen some criticisms of the color grading but the extent of that is mostly that there's a lack of color or vibrancy.

---

Ive had that happen a few times. Then watch it again at home and its like a different movie.

---

probably a projection problem. I watched it on my close to a decade old samsung and it looked fine.

---

It was very sepia but I didn't have a problem actually seeing anything.

---

Its often really dark, but you can make out pretty much everything. There's a couple of scenes that were overly dark imo, but I think that was intentional.

Battle of Winterfell was really bad if you watched it as soon as it was available because everyone was streaming it at once and it looked like shit. It's watchable if you were to stream it now.

Your theatre dude. Dune is many things but one thing it is not is badly shot.

---

Probably bad screening. Didnt happen to me and i watched it in a normal theater (not imax)

---

With HDR, it looked amazing. There was never a point where it ever felt too dark or anything.

---

The outdoor day scenes were definitely perfectly viewable. Though the insides were definitely pointlessly dark for no reason.

Well, shit, looks like I should ask for my money back. Really upsetting that my first time watching this incredible movie was marred by technical problems.

i watched it on hbo max and it was def like that at parts
