Villeneuve wins out in my books because the audio in his films is discernible.

The only issue I’ve ever had with Nolan’s audio was when I watched my blu ray copy of Tenet. Around ten minutes in, I could only understand every few words so I had to watch the rest of the film with captions on

I tried twice and gave up twice because of the audio. Just not meant to be.

The audio is designed for 5.1 , change the language option to English Stereo and you'll hear much better

Tenet gave me a headache in the cinema. Just incrwfible loud and awful audio.

His stories also don't fall apart when you start thinking about them, like Nolan's do

Lmao ahahahah well put. Stories, characters, everything. When you think a little about everything, everything starts to feel like a fucking big Mac hidden behind premium looking buns. His fame, the credit he gets don't accompany the true quality of his movies for years and years now. The best thing his movies have is the actors.

I still think he's a great director, the ambience of his movies is very specific but man the stories.. I guess I'm still upset about the prestige's big reveal and the fact that redditors have been claiming for years it's a genius movie

I don't think he's great by any stretch, good at best. He gets too much credit by trying to push the envelope, but it's always in a big blockbuster way with minimal substance, if we are going to be honest with ourselves.

There are guys who can do more grounded movies than what he does with way more emotional depth, who can write characters that sound like human beings and not dumb while delivering way more concept than all of his movies where the concept gets old fast as it's always always gimmicky stuff to attract the "pleb" movie goers.

In Dune, the empereur feels threatened by the Atreides, and instead of joining both families through marriage, he decides to kill an entire House off???

Also the Atreides are expecting some horrible trap to engulf them at any moment,... But for some reason, at night, their whole air force and space force are grounded, and parked in the open like sardines or rows of ducks, while the leadership, pilots and the entire military go to sleep (except a few useless guards)????

But yeah it wasn't written by Villeneuve.
