Context: According to Rotten Tomatoes, the New Yorker gave "Dune" (2021) two different negative (i.e. rotten) reviews.

Richard Brody:

The movie's stripped-down material world correlates with a stripped-down emotional one-narrow, facile, and unambiguous.

Anthony Lane:

One's eye is at first dazzled, then sated, and eventually tired by this pitiless inflation of scale.

Resolution details:

• Rotten Tomatoes will be the source to determine whether the review is positive, as well as what qualifies as a "review by the New Yorker": https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dune_part_two

• I will check Rotten Tomatoes one week after release.

  • If there is any positive ("fresh") review logged for the New Yorker, this resolves YES.

  • If there are only negative reviews, it resolves NO.

  • If no review has been logged by the New Yorker, I will wait until the first review is logged, and resolve it YES if that review is positive & NO if that review is negative.

  • If Rotten Tomatoes does not show any New Yorker review after one month, I will resolve it N/A.

• Note: for "Dune" (2021), there were two reviews that qualify, but I have no idea what they'll release this time (and there only needs to be one positive review to resolve this yes).

• If any scenarios for resolution are unclear, please ask.
