Should you watch 'Dune' in theatres or on HBO Max? Check out these reactions from the Venice Film Festival and decide for yourself.

When is ‘Dune’ going to drop on HBO Max?

Warner Brothers, due to the pandemic, came up with a pretty solid strategy to get a handle on the revenue loss from COVID-19. For their 2021 release slate, they would be simultaneously releasing movies both in theatres and on HBO Max. The movies were still seen, profits were being made (HBO Max is $14.99 per month), and people didn’t have to worry about COVID. The next big movie for the app is Dune.

The film, based on the 1965 novel of the same name, stars Timothée Chalamet & Zendaya in a sci-fi epic adventure. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival to rave reviews from critics. (Though, uh, maybe do some reading on the more problematic aspects of Dune before deciding if you want to watch it on HBO Max.) The film is currently slated for release on Oct. 22. 

But where should you watch Dune? Should you check it out in theatres or tune in on HBO Max? We’re going to take a look at what the critics have to say about the movie so you can decide. 

 

“Masterwork of science fiction”

Well it certainly sounds good.

 

Why it matters if you want a sequel

Here’s why you’d want to check out Dune on HBO Max.

 

Interesting

Deconstruction of the narrative of the “chosen one”? We’re here for it.

 

Matrix versus Dune

Pick the sci-fi story that you want in your life.

 

A half-finished story

Incomplete? So the sequel is needed.

 

Huh

Have to admit. 88% is lower than we were thinking it would get.

 

Immersed

How immersive can it be? 

 

Emotive

A passion project from director Denis Villeneuve.

 

What does it mean? 

Okay, we’re curious.

 

“A sweeping sci-fi epic”

Well, it sounds like you should check out the movie in either theatres or HBO Max.

Dune will be released on HBO Max and in theatres on Oct. 22.
