Hi all,

I want to go see Dune 2 at the Imax in Aarhus, but I can't read Danish fast enough to keep up with subtitles. Since there are some scenes that use alien languages I am wondering if those have English and Danish or only Danish subtitles. Has anyone seen it?

In denmark, where people speak danish, if there is sub/dub it would be logical to assume anything translated would be translated INTO danish, and not another language.

Our english is quite good. My best estimate is that 75% of adults not yet reached ritirement age would pick up most of the story if subs were english (less if its filled with sci-fy words or, a realy talky movie like Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, detective movies, ect). But the film industry want to sell to those who wasnt so bookish/good at languages/had other reasons why they didnt get that good at english, so they tranlate and use subtiles in danish - that way a lot more can watch the movie without risking loosing the story.

Dubs is used for chiledrens movies... And still they mostly show the big childrens movies like Disney in both dubed or subed... in danish. But in dubbed, they will translate it all, english and almen language ect into dubbed danish.

If in doubt, visit the website of whatever cinema you maybe wanna visit. And see what they write. Kino.dk is one of the big cinema brands, they used to have pretty good explanaitions for non-danes in english too. Google a bit and you will find your answer. Or a Phone number to call and ask.
