What makes great movies great is that they're written as a story and not just a movie.

If part one and two got you interested, then it's for you. 

The part that I missed at first is why they use air snorkels. Well, they're not breathing extra oxygen, they're collecting their own exhaled moisture as an adaptation to the planet's environment meant to reuse majority of their water. 

If I would get something stuck up my nostrils, I would lose water through my eyes..

I think Zendaya acts well to not put you out of immersion. The main dude going nuts is questionable, but how else do you bend character behaviour for the plot. Will this be a movie about a guy going nuts, or perseveering for one in a million outcome? - I think that's where the interest lies.

Overall the cast is solid from the start - with popular actors and actresses. Likely very anticipated by ladies, they seem to love this movie franchise for it's emotional rollecoaster. For guys, it's likely slightly insane how characters lose themselves, but the original writer of "Dune (1969)" is a guy (Frank Herbert), so it still makes sense to watch. Although there's 20+ books of "dune universe" so this is by far not the last part, this is hollywood's "Fast and Furious" moment.

• My anticipation 6/10 - keen to watch something different and already familiar.
  
• Production is 10/10, so definetely immersive type of movie which works with the flow of storytelling. Production guys are gold while acting and directing gets the credit.
  
• Logic - it's not that type of movie. Dragonfly helicopters are fine.
  
• Not a chick flick anymore, this is serious - guy got bald.

• AMPAS - overall benchmarks of diversity, main one.
  
• Time’s Up - workspace diversity representation
  
• Color of Change Hollywood - what races to have on screen
  
• GLAAD - the LGBTQ+ representation
  

Regulating stories using quotas has been proven to not work, yet it happened this June 2026.

While organizations that manage/insist on quotas make minor requests, the subtle changes shift the whole point and perspective.

I haven't seen Supergirl, but many have noted that the performance is tainted with ideologies that make the character undesirable to watch. 

Men and women have been developing various outlooks on each other with the help of social meadia brainwashing, what to think about one another and how to approach various behaviours, and most of all how to devalue another human. All you need is a flag (of red kind).

If you're mostly living in digital space, the sorrow and hatred can be easily manipulated by an opinion and "open hearted" negative comments made to spite others because of personal dissatisfaction. The movie may represent current state and outlook on expected modern behaviour, which in itself is honest though falsely built. But the backlash is also honest - no one likes to be given a template of behaviours that promote rudeness, misbehavior, indiscipline, then publically reduce male audiences.

Once men turn salty, you will know..

Various things were pushed on guys in the last 15-20 years. And it seems that they're running out of things that men can put up with. Hollywood's mistake is letting young stars speak about anything gender related. Young generation, especially movie stars will never have healthy understanding of relationships.

On the other side, I think guys are taking shots because no one was actually going to see the movie. Why would mostly single young generation of guys go to watch a female superhero movie about herself? Who goes to cinemas even?

Hollywood has been making movies for 110 years, somehow they can't read their audience. If it's not relatable, emotional, intriguing or inspirational, and instead focuses on identity politics to teach how super strenth makes you indifferent to everything including yourself, holding a bottle and going forward is a role model for a family movie.. maybe it's not a good idea.

Snow white type of movie vibes where the movie release doesn't go as planned. A diverse snow white was an obvious blunder that was too big to swallow..
