I really think it'll benefit from a big screen viewing. Everything is huge. The buildings are huge. The ships are huge. The worms are obviously huge.

Sadly, it also happens here.mads b. wrote: I don't get why all sci-fi battles (including MCU) consist of masses of infantery running into each other. I get that swords and knives and close combat look great and make for more interesting fights than just shooting at long range, but it also mean that fights are rarely about tactics and characters, but mostly about people running into each other.
I agree it's dumb. Hollywood firefights can be dumb as well, but, at least, characters don't stand still, there's a semblance of logic and cover.

Anyway, I want to see Dune, but I don't want to catch covid. Folks here in Ohio are dumb enough to skip vaccinations, and the numbers are still high.

The in-world explanation for Dune is the body shields. Projectile weapons don't work against them and laser weaponry have nuclearly violent interactions. I get your point though, and explaining it away doesn't necessarily affect your argument.mads b. wrote: I don't get why all sci-fi battles (including MCU) consist of masses of infantery running into each other.

Not to mention the fact that the activation of a body shield out in the wild is essentially dousing yourself in steak sauce and jumping into a tiger pit. The generators enrage the worms.
