Epidemic Sound
Dune is what the MCU and Star wars wishes it was. It's just an incredible cinematic experience.
It's an incredible literary experience at any rate. These new films are basically pretty good but they totally whiff on the Dune aesthetic. Everything is too antiseptic and monochromatic where Herbert intended his universe to resemble 19th century aristocrats in space with all the colorful costumery and pomp that implies. The desaturated environments and simplistic costumes don't feel very "Dune" to me. Maybe I will pleasantly surprised when I see Part 2 but I doubt it.
It’s more like puss in boots 2 where it leaves you wondering wait, how did they make something that good?
@@NestorMakhno1789 Haven't seen Part 2 yet, but many who are longtime fans of the books have praised the film and said they understand, don't mind, or aren't too bothered by the changes. I personally don't mind deviations from the book here and there - aesthetic included, although that is a major thing.
@@NestorMakhno1789 as a huge fan of the book series, I am good with the changes. From a cinematic standpoint, you just can’t pull some of them off well without confusing most of the audience
Bro that movie was incredibly boring...... and it just felt old and tired..... they paid for cgi ... nice.
Watched it last night. The theater was silent when it ended because everyone was in awe of what just happened. It’s the Ben Hur of this generation.
You switch your brain off then😂
I don't know about the others, but I was one of the ones who felt slapped in the face by Villaineuve; so I didn't clap in appreciation of that, and just silently walked out, disappointed.
@@shefalichow7917cry then
I was confused by the ending
A little hyperbolic.
The scene where paul starts talking in the south *broke* me
it is one of my favorite scene in part two
best scene in the movie imo
I got so emotional when he switched from Paul Usul to the Mahdi, the power of his voice cut through me
Lead the to paradise got me…And I’m well familiar with the books, and I still teared up knowing what’s to come.
My favorite scene is where Chani is riding Paul's worm. Villenueve's done it again
pause
Ayo! What😳
But Paul's worm is the one that's being bitten and swallowed...
Intersectional and "boss girl". I love the way they changed Chani to a non believing "girl boss" who was the last face seen in the movie. Completely wooden performance by Zendaya which was perfect as wooden performances go.
what makes this even funnier is that this actually happened
It feels weird saying because I don't say things like this lightly, Dune Part 2 just may be the best film I've ever seen. Especially in theaters
@@ManOfCinema-girl power removes main protagonist from plot. Sorry, big spoiler that doesn’t spoil the book though.
David Lynch Dune is so much better, the script, the costumes, the dialogues and music. David Lynch was a much better story teller and he found better solutions to each challenge of the Dune adaptation than Dennis Villeneuve. They are miles apart and David Lynch delivered a true masterpiece, Dennis Villneuve is just not capable of reproducing anything that would even come close.
@@strongwomanswanson6711 are you serious? Lol you cannot be serious. The 1984 dune movie is GARBAGE
@@1neOfN0necompared to the woke Star Wars and Marvel filth, this is quite a distinction, but it does not come close to David Lynches art form of a movie. I could have done a better movie than this and
@@1neOfN0nejust leave him, he is trolling
I don’t ever want Hans Zimmer to leave this earth. He imo is the greatest movie music composer of all time
John Williams would like a word...... But nah I agree
May this whole ensemble stay with us long enough for Chapterhouse: Dune and beyond!
just to give you hope. I really like ludwig göransson. He was recommended to christopher nolan for tenet, by hans zimmer, because he himself was occupied.
John Williams takes it for me. The sheer number of beautiful melodies he has created through the decades is astounding. Star Wars, ET, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and many more. The Jaws theme is one of the most influential and recognizable ever created.
But Zimmer is a close second.
@@Dragon123SlayerZimmer > Williams
Dune Part II is actually one of this highest rated movies across the board. Scoring 10/10 from IMDb, a 97% from Rotten Tomatoes, and a general 95% from the public. These two movies are truly the greatest movies this decade will probably ever see.
Honestly with such reaction I wouldn't be surprised if its considered one of the greatest movies of all time.
But, why so many mischaracterizations, plot flips, omissions and off character Marvel-quips during serious scenes? Never mind if you're unfamiliar with the novel.
@unk4790 I think that has to do with the massive burden that has been placed on Villeneuve's shoulder by both the book's fans and the studio. He's not only trying to appease to the book fans but also making the very niche lore of Dune more accessible to the casuals so that the movie makes money because this is obviously not a charity fair and making movies is a business model at the end of the day.
What pisses me off however is Villeneuve's restrain. He's so terrified that he'll kill the pacing of the movie if he goes all out that he harshly edits out hours worth of scenes from his original cuts that affect the movie negatively. The first Dune was plagued by this problem and the second one is too but to a lesser extent. I hope this movie performs so well at the box office that WB urges Villeneuve to release extended cuts for his Dune movies with at least an hour or two of added runtime. I think that will most certainly mitigate many of the issues that can be found in both of his Dune movies.
@@maazahmed506 I loved the movie but I even love the 84 movie..but was disappointed in Aaliyah not being born or killing the Baron like in the book in the new movie..also all that hype an build up an the battle for Arrakis was like 5 minutes long
@@AnnatarCarvour I think our expectations were too inflated after those reviews comparing it to two towers and calling it the greatest sequel of all time or something along those lines. The movie was great but I can't help but loathe how much better it could have been. I'm not a believer but I'm praying for an extended cut at this point.
The only problem that I have with it was that it wasn't long enough
Long build up for the final battle of Arrakis and Arrakeen an the damn battle was cool but only 5 minutes long lol
thats how it was in the books. @@AnnatarCarvour
@@AnnatarCarvour The battle wasnt actually that long in the books since the Fremen just decimate everything.
Yea I know its told from Shaddams POV but I don't recall how long don't think there was a given time between like 15-20min..What I'm saying is why change Alias birth an not killing the Baron and Kynes to a girl an all this other stuff..an lead you to believe that the battle in the trailers is some epic thing an then its literally shorter then the 10 15 minute battle in the 84 film ...I love this movie but I still like the 84 movie better despite its inaccuracies.. happy to get another movie though an more dune an I know all of this was really about the leading up to the Jihad at the end an the war with the houses an to show you the bad side of Paul an the idea of Messiahs but still they could've shown a little bit more ..they will probably release directors cuts or something I know there's alot left over for the first movie that they could've done that as well.
Same, I would have happily sat through an extra hour.
I still can’t believe what Denis achieved. This masterpiece deserves the Oscars 🏆
After all the critiques I've seen of this movie, this review comforts me the most. For one reason, I always appreciate how, regardless of the film or TV show's quality, Supercuts remains constructive, so if he's giving the movie such heavy praise, I have nothing to worry about.
It’s a masterpiece, no need to worry 🙏
@@WarWorksProductions Thanks for the heads up.
Critiques? Who was dumb enough to critique Dune 1 or 2?
I haven't seen or read a bad review yet.
THE OSCARS MUST FLOW!
In the novel, the story is actually told over 2 to 3 years, which Denis compressed to months only.
@@user-if3mr9nr6yadaptions can’t do a 1 for 1 direct copy paste man. Let it go.
wasnt too big of a deal@@user-if3mr9nr6y
@@user-if3mr9nr6y Not a big deal. They handled Chani and Paul's relationship pretty well as it is.
@@user-if3mr9nr6y The death of Paul and Chani's son really wasn't a driving point of their relationship. Honestly , the books really gloss over their first child as we spend almost no time with the child and only hear about him through other characters' povs and he's barely mentioned throughout the series afterwards. It was a tragic moment in the books when their son dies but it really existed to further demonstrate how detached Paul was becoming due to his visions of the future because he knew that their son would die ahead of time and he acts extremely cold when their son dies, only showing the subtlest hints of mourning/rage. Part Two does a good job of making up for that by making it very clear how cold and calculating Paul become after he gains full control of his powers as there is a stark contrast between him prior to and after drinking the water of life.
@@user-if3mr9nr6y definite overreaction here
This has to be one of the most flawless films ive ever seen, from the cinematography to the soundtrack everything was masterfully done
Utter nonsense. The story and acting in the film was poor, to say the least.
@@paintspot1509I disagree but I do think people are overrating the hell out of this movie. Paul just becomes OP and the villains stop being actual threats. It became uninteresting when Paul stopped facing adversity.
I saw the film on Sunday in IMAX after nearly three years of waiting and Denis exceeded all of my expectations! I truly can’t wait to rewatch this film on Thursday! Long live cinema!
The "Grandfather" scene shook me. His apotheosis was also masterfully done. The makeup and Timothys acting really sold it.
I spent 80% of the 3 hours in that IMAX theater with my eyes as wide open as they could possibly go. I was breathless. Full-body goosebumps. I've seen a lot of cynics commenting "I don't know what all the hype is about, everyone's fawning is embarrassing, it wasn't even that good" -- and tbh, I just feel sorry for them that they apparently can't experience and appreciate true art. How sad for them. Because this film is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Easily my new favorite sci-fi movie (and that position was only held by Arrival, before).
Making art is one thing. Trying to tell the story of dune, but making art instead is another.
The story telling here was appalling and the acting not much better.
If your only interest is great cinematography, then sure, this the film for you.
@@paintspot1509 - Actually, I've read Dune, and I thought that Denis was as close to the source material as he could be, and the acting was incredibly convincing. Dune is widely considered almost impossible to adapt to film, so I'm impressed he captured the _essence_ and _feeling_ and _meaning_ of the stories so well. Yes, he switched up quite a few things for the sake of making a coherent film, but that can be forgiven if you're not too much of a merciless purist.
@@milo_thatch_incarnate Agreed. In fact, it doesn't need to be 'forgiven'. A movie is an entirely different medium than a book. A 1:1 adaptation of a book would be documentary rather than cinema. I've always loved the books, and I love the alterations of the story made to fit the medium. Especially changing the timeframe and leaving the already-born Alia out of it, to me felt like a well-weighed decision. But for any alteration, you will find hordes of people criticizing it. In the end we're all automatic ..
I thought the movie was good but expected way more. Paul and the Fremen was so overpowered it almost stopped being intresting. Almost 3 hours long, we get to the final battle Sardaukar / Harkonnen vs Fremen and we get to see 2 seconds of the battle? Also was looking forward seeing Sardaukar showing why they have their reputation, but no, nothing.
In the first movie there was alot of jumping to different locations and factions, there were conspirations and plotting, good dialogue and I was missing this in the second film.
@@jimmyandersson9938 It's for the set-up of what comes in Dune Messiah.
I would argue Timothee’s acting was the best. He was absolutely magnetic
Utter nonsense.
@@paintspot1509Career best stuff from him I think. Not sure what movie you were watching.
@@corneliussmiff2773I agree that Chalamet’s acting was fantastic and a career best. @paintspot1509 was pobably watching the movie where Butler stole every scene that he was in making his acting the best in the film.
Anyone who really appreciates these movies should read the book; it will not disappoint. No movie can ever be better than its source material and these movies are great because Villenueve has been so successful at adapting some of the greatest source material available. Was the movie 100% faithful to the book? No, but I don't care. The different mediums have their own strengths and limitations and this book is always going to force directors to make changes. In my 60 years I've seen so many movies, but only these two have caused tears to roll down my face as I watched. They remind you that movie making is not just a way for studios to earn money; it's an artistic medium of which Villenueve is an absolute master.
Strange. I felt that this movie definitely threw the "I'm here to make money" vibe at you.
Way to much style over substance, lost the true feeling of dune due to poor story telling and the acting was extremely poor.
@@paintspot1509 Interesting. Personally I never expected that it would be true to the book (impossible , really), although I was so much more pleased with Villeneuve's effort than with Lynch's. So, what do you consider to be the best example of a (SciFi) movie that was successfully adapted from difficult source material?
Dune is to the current movie industry as Baldur's Gate 3 is to the current video game industry.
Quality, Vision, Passion. This stuff MATTER$.
After Lord of the Rings, will this one be an awesome trilogy to be remembered as well? Heck, more than 20 years later!
That is if the 3rd one happens
@@Nio744It will happen. This one is going to do so much better at box office
@@Nio744 lmao probably one of the best films done in the last 15 years and you doubting if there will be 3rd one
@@edrevvvvthis one really wasn't very good. Blinded by hype right now.
@@paintspot1509 true man , we all have to agree on what you say then. Congrats
Give this Movie all of the Oscars
Like Return of the King. Jackson nailed it, Villeneuve nailed it.
Can't see which one it could possibly deserve apart from VFX and sound editing
Everything in the movie has such a focus on it, which is how every aspect is a 10/10. Editing, sound, score, story, acting, cinematography, and VFX. Denis deserves all of the awards and accolades that will undeniably come in the next year.
It is an insult to all the great actors of the (Daniel day-lewis for example) to say this film had good acting.
The acting was poor at best.
Just watched Dune 2 and man it was absolutely incredible, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The cinematography was so good, the entire movie and set pieces were all beautifully shot, the story, action, epic Hans Zimmer soundtrack, everything was top notch. Denis Villeneuve truly one of the best directors today. The cast was great, Timothée Chalamet gave the performance of a lifetime and stole the show as Paul Atreides.
A truly worthy sequel. So excited for Part 3.👏👏👏👏
You cannot say the story was well done withna straight face. You also can't say this film was well acted.
People have lost their minds over this film.
my mom was asleep during the new hunger games movie, but this one, she watched it til the end even tho she hasnt watched the first film and for those who havent read probably dont get it as much. but i can safely say that how denis brings stories in this medium is excellent. he pays attention to details, the chemistry between the casts, the storyline and so much more. it is a masterpiece and such an experience to watch it ok the big screen.
Got lucky and was able to see part two Sunday night and it lives up to the hype. Didn’t even feel like 3 hours. It’s just an incredible movie.
DUNE is the new moment! Nice to see a new successful and deserved franchise emerge. It’s a win for sci-fi. Everyone worked so hard just to entertain us. Hope it gets to 1 Billion.
It might have been a long movie, but I felt like the ending came quickly and I was sad when it was over. So good!
I was confused by the ending
@@jchess78 building up for part 3
Definitely gonna only get better on rewatch. Can’t wait to see it again
It is so rare to see movies like the Dune films, where every department of the films is just firing on all cylinders. From the cinematography, to the acting, to the soundtrack, to the set design, to the choreograpy, to the VFX, etc., etc., every part of these movies have been excellent and its so hard to find flaws in them. These movies have been a masterclass in filmmaking and I'm so excited to see how they approach the next entry in the series because we very well could get a trilogy the likes of which we haven't seen since Jackson's Lord of the Rings' movies.
I would very happily watch a six hour extended version of this.
If only. What people don’t realise is that adding deleted scenes and unused footage back in takes a lot of time and money to finish off the special effects work, it’s almost like making a whole movie all over again, and since Denis has a strong no deleted/extended scenes policy, it’s safe to say we’ll never see any of the extra stuff that was cut from the theatrical release, which is heart breaking. Even if we got an extra half hour of footage in the home release, it would amazing 😢
This was the first movie to have a moment actually give me chills… I’ve NEVER had that from a movie before
Which scene was it?
@@martind.5257 (spoiler)
The final battle, when all of the worms emerge from the sandstorm and we see the armies of Fremen riding on their backs with the Atreides banner
@@Korraticbobo777 You can't "spoil" something that was in the trailer.
it was the sound for me! a couple of those low frequency rumbly bits and how they blended into the soundtrack just got me.
its EPIC! that opening scene with the eclipse light was so good! can't wait until i see it again Friday then the week after!
I can’t wait til I see the real total eclipse April 8 2024
I’ve consumed a dangerous amount of these glowing reviews, and like the spice, they are warping my perception of reality. Seeing it on Friday in imax and praying it lives up to the hype
It doesn't.
@@No-Kung-Fu what were your thoughts on it?
@@jonnymoses6927 Much of it is plain boring, villains with zero depth who behave like cartoons, cringe romance scenes, Fremen are boring and annoying and are 90% of the movie, movie feels rushed, barely any character development, mediocre to bad dialogue, battles are just OK. "Spectacle" is not enough to make a great movie. Dune part 1 was much better overall. Dune 2 might be the most overrated movie ever.
@@No-Kung-Fu interesting. Appreciate the in depth thoughts. Just surprised because this basically runs counter to what every critic and fan has been saying. I guess I’ll find out
@@jonnymoses6927 Hopefully for you you'll disagree with me. ;) If not, at least you'll know you're not alone.
Saw Dune 2 yesterday and it was a movie experience I haven't had since... probably LOTR. which was 20 years ago. This movie was so tight, there are no pauses, something is always happening. Even the dialogue scenes all felt like they had magnitude and importance with every word. I felt the sense of it almost being TOO GOOD. Like you said, its a 3 hour high. I felt myself simultaneously wanting a break and not wanting it to end.
as soon as it ended I wanted to watch it again, unreal experience, completely mind blowing
Just left the theater. What the hell did I just watch 🤯 it was amazing!!!
An actual perfect movie, hands down best movie I’ve ever seen in theaters
Absolutely, just got out of seeing it. I'm stunned how well woven every artistic element of it is
The real question is who's buying that Dune Part 2 cinema bucket LMAO
Whoever made it I take my hat off to u cos it has people talking LMAO
Just watched Dune Part 2 for the first time today. Man, I don't think a director has had such a hot streak since James Cameron did in the '80s and early '90s. If Denis V can sustain this level of quality for the third installment of Dune then he is officially the GOAT.
Overwhelming masterpiece is an understatement in my opinion. It was so good I have no words for it
Same
I was really on the verge of tears just because it was so good. It wasn't even the story, it was really just imagery and music because it was so well crafted 😢
No words? I have 2 big words. Storytelling and acting. Both were abysmal in this film.
@@paintspot1509what did you watch 🙈😂 the acting was tremendous, butler doing the Barons voice, Paul go from hero to anti-hero, Bardem was brilliant. April fools comment?
Yep. We've witnessed the melding of directing genius, insane passion for the story, excellent adaptation dialog-wise, and the dedication of the cast and crew. All that together, with just enough effects to propel the story but not overwhelm it created this truly magnificent historic 'cinematic event'.
Came out this weekend, I've already seen it twice, enjoyed it even more the second time
I'm. Going for 3 time bro it's visually stunning
same here @@user-wh8gg1gl2z
I saw the movie past night, and honestly, it could have been 1-2 hours longer to really give a bigger canvas to let the story truly shine. It had less of the slow-paced dreaminess and more straight-up exposition. Perhaps this would have best as a triology to give it that breathing room the story needed. Not saying it was bad, just saying it wasn't enough.
Fuck you lmao what a shit opinion
Hey Supercuts just wanted to tell you how much I love your work! Your takes are so interesting and provide me with so many different perspectives. Look forward to all your new vids. Keep up the awesome work man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The black and white gladiatorium scene in Giedi Prime blew my mind.
So it's a Sequel better than the Original my favourite is Shrek 2 lets see if Dune 2 will take that place for me 😂
Nothing will ever top shrek 2
Terrrrrrrrminaaatoorrr 2 😏
What about Empire Strikes Back?
@lus1304 Depends on your taste really. If you prefer or at least don't mind a more gritty, complex, artsy and cerebral story, this sequel is most certainly better than Empire Strikes Back.
A man of culture I see.
You're right, the storytelling is so good it's overwhelming.
I saw an interview with Denis Villeneuve saying he was inspired by Road-Runner to make the pacing better. That's why it feels so intense and the three hours pass so quickly
I grew up watching Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the MCU.
But only Dune gave me the feeling of what my older cousins must've felt when they watched LOTR for the first time.
Being an adult while a franchise like this is still going on feels so overwhelmingly good.
As someone from Quebec, I can't stop laughing at hearing english speaker call "Denis Villeneuve" (Often Denis is pretty close, the Villeneuve part is a wild ride)
Nevertheless. great review, amazing movie. And I'm proud a Quebecer is making such great work that the world recognize.
A lot of trolls right now fucking with the "internet". Won't change this was a "Even better than expected movie"
Not a fan of Zandaya, but she did her role great.
Tim, Josh, Rebecca, Javier, all incredible.
Watching it in imax on saturday. SO HYPED
One of the best movies of all time. 3 hours of epic and no wasted moments.
Cinematic and acting is on point. Haven’t felt this good about a movie in a long time
Saw it Saturday night at my local IMAX with my son who's a big fan as well and as we walked out after almost 3 hours of mind blowing visual and sound,,he asked me what I thought,,I said after I decompress I'll let you know,,and after a few a days I realize I have to go see it again there's so much to absorb and take in 1 sitting isn't enough
Austin butler was tremendous in the movie. Every scene he was in he had such a strong presence
Just an epic triumph. This is cinema. This is Sci-Fi.
This is the best movie review I've ever seen😳
Then this must be your first movie review you ever seen lol
If you want a an amazing space opera you should def watch legend of the galactic heroes anime from 1988. It’s 110 episodes but you should start with the 2 movies with my conquest first then overture then start at episode 3 as the movies include the first 2 episodes content but better. It’s old and long but my god is it worth it. My favourite space series ever put to screen. On top of that the music is all amazing classical pieces from Dvorak, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Bach etc.
See what pissed me off is Dune could have been a 100 episode type series and yet they still insist on making movies out of it which, even at 4 or 5 hours, still left alot of content out.. but I agree that show is amazing
It's on my watch list. I've heard only great things about it.
Good sir, you touched upon all the of the aspects that matter. Everything is very on point and especially it felt like seeing and hearing my own thoughts and feelings about this masterpiece. Thank you for your excellent video!
If the third movie is as good as the first two, the Dune Saga will easily eclipse the original Star Wars trilogy as the greatest science fiction story ever put on screen.
Sadly it seems a lot of people either don't get or can't get behind the fact
all It's characters are not as morally simple as black and white. A shame really. I quite like that it challenges you and doesn't give you a nice clean ending.
@@Nio744You see a lot of people calling the first movie boring too. It just seems that some people aren’t suited to intricate stories like Dune.
@@Charon510 sad but true
Amazing film, even with a lot of material from the book being cut (Paul’s son, Paul’s sister being born, Thufir Hawat, the schemes of Feyd Rautha, etc). It made it feel different, but still connected
When I watched Dune 2, I kept on anticipating for more. There was so much going on but I could understand the plot. It left me on the edge of my seat every second. However, there were some things that felt odd. For example, why were we given a flashback of Feyn? We were introduced to him only to die in the last half of the film. Besides that, the visuals and costume design is beautiful and the story was presented well.
When part two is better than the first! Amazing!!!
Do the Villeneuve Dune movies beat PJ's Lord of the Rings Trilogy? I don't think so...but they are pretty close to it and that's a huge achievement.
Loved all of your points and explanations. This movie was incredible and I can’t wait to watch this many more times.
Gonna rewatch it on the weekend. Amazing ❤
Just watched a few hours ago. And this is my exact feeling. I feel the need to rewatch and just really pay more attention to every scene. Definitely the greatest movie of 2024 to date. Hopefully it gets on streaming or bluray soon
Having absolutely *loved* seeing this film in theatres, I do genuinely want to see a director's cut of both this and part 1 put all together. Walking out of the theatre, I couldn't help but feel like there was... "something" that was missing. I couldn't for the life of me tell you what that "something" was, but I feel like it's out there, somewhere.
My favourite scene is "Take them to paradise"...can't get it out of my mind because despite the film having far more spectacular scenes,this one is the perfect memorable ending.
Youd be getting way more views if your channel didnt get hacked, hopefully the algorithm picks you back up again you deserve it
Saw this in imax last night. The sound was incredible. Truly masterpiece
I just cant believe it. They did it, they did Dune justice. I just had to watch it over and over again. Its a masterpiece.
Just got out of the theater, and wow. What a dopamine releasing movie. Worthy of S-tier.
Zimmers “a time of quiet between storms” is so beautiful as a love theme that people are playing it over beautiful videos of the churches in Jerusalem
Thank you for this bro this perfectly summed up why this movie is resonating so much. This movie elevates.
Dune makes me miss being deep in the desert. It so perfectly captured the harsh beauty of the desert.
Thanks for pointing out Greg Fraser’s cinematography. The movie reminded me of Rogue one for some reason and now I know why.
"Beyond Fear, is Destiny." We will be watching (as soon as I put my house up for a second mortgage to afford tickets that is)
One of my favorite parts is quick but it’s when Irulan commenting on the Fremen prophet taking the name Muad’dib, the kangaroo mouse but then coming to realize it’s meaning and having the realization that it could be Paul. The reverend mother shutting her down confirms it to her that it is Paul.
This movie was so unbelievably and phenomenally fantastic in every single minute aspect from the visual and sound design, to the acting, the screenplay and directing.... Just every aspect of this was a masterclass and I could not have been happier.
I watched Part 1 today before Part 2, first ever time jumping into the series; and wow, this is a pure masterpiece.
All very well said. I was privileged to have experienced it in 70MM IMAX and have already another ticket to see it again. The entire film is just staggering in it's technical achievement and execution. As a cinephile, it is films like this that I live for and make me absolutely giddy with joy from the deepest depths of my soul. Truly a masterpiece, indeed.
@supercutsdelight you are an incredible writer sir!
I thought I was the only one overwhelmed with the sounds and the visuals. I had to come home and drink a headache pill because it was way too much. But it was awesome!
Saw it in theatre...oh my god what a film. So many great scenes, a particular one for me was when Paul was trying his first worm ride. Even though I knew from the previous movie/miniseries he would succeed I was still cringing at the intensity of him struggling to stay on this half-kilometer-long god of a worm that was ripping almost mountain-sized sand dunes in half simply by moving. "Oh god don't fall off" kept going through my head...
And then, on that final battle, when the SWARM of them come out of the clouds...holy christ.
What a movie!!! GO SEE IT!!!
Perfect summary, I had this anxious feeling throughout the movie where I didn't know if I should cry or not.
I can’t watch the review yet, but this is the exact sentiment I expected for this film. My expectations are sky high for Friday and I think they will be met if not exceeded. Part one was close to perfection and part two should have some absolutely jaw dropping scenes.
If you're a book purist, expect some changes that might disappoint you.
@@maazahmed506 Gonna be honest, it wasn't the book changes that disappointed me. The tone of the film felt way to upbeat jerky. Still a good movie, but the first one was far superior in my opinion.
@@MoonWeasel23 After a second watch, it's a bit of both I think. The movie just didn't have the elegance of the first movie. Underdeveloped subplots, unnecessary omissions, lack of reason behind character motivations and a rushed third act (tbf the book was also rushed in this instance) pulled me out of the movie. A good movie that had the potential to be the next LOTR given the source material it had to build upon. Truly unfortunate how that turned out.
I just hope that this isn't the definitive adaptation of Dune. Guess I'll just delude myself into hoping we're going to get a Game of Thrones style Dune TV show in the near future as I have been for the last 10 or so years.
@@maazahmed506 I want to think that there was a lot of the film which got cut in post production because they realized telling the full story with the correct pacing and feel would be like another hour long. Can't wait for that extended edition to come out in like 2 years so we can see those subplots and motivations actually get fleshed out.
@@MoonWeasel23 Yes actually, that is true. About an hour or two worth of scenes were cut out in the first part one alone. Scenes that added so much depth to the characters and political intrigue to the story. I also believe that the inclusion of these scenes although would've increased the runtime of the movie, they would've kept the audiences more engaged across the span of the entire movie and eliminated most of the complains of the movie feeling dry or too slow.
It's hard to believe that part two wasn't flattened in the editing process either. Specially when Villeneuve himself confessed that he got rid of all the scenes involving Mentats (which includes Thufir Hawat and Hasimir Fenring) in the second movie because he wanted to direct the focus at the Bene Gesserit and Paul's journey. No can tell what else he chopped in the post-production.
Denis has been quite steadfast over his stance on not releasing the deleted scenes or extended cuts but I hope that the success of Dune two can urge the studio into convincing him to do otherwise.
I agree with you. It was overwhelming with sensory overload. It is like a rush and then it is over. Crazy. It took me a few days to let it fade away.
Spot on. A 3 hour 'high'....the time went without even realising it....nothing short of awesome....
My favorite scene is probably when Chani blows up the ornithopter and you think that's it, and the next scene you see Paul running for a couple seconds parallel to the harvester body and then suddenly the ornithopter's wreckage comes blazing down unexpectedly in the near distance. The visuals, sound, and pure impact of the action were orgasmic. It's an artfulness towards action that you'll almost never see in actual 'action movies'.
You *HAVE* to watch it at the cinema! The impact that the sound makes on you, the video-quality... it's just something else. I haven't watched it back then, since I'm a young adult, but I'd be willing to put my hand in the fire, that Dune 2 probably felt almost the same like watching "The Return of the King (Lord of the Rings)" for the first time at the cinema!
A masterpiece!
2 times. I watched it in IMAX two times as I was so overwhelmed with this masterpiece, fusion of cinematography and score by Zimmer, just could not beat the visuals and scale, really multiplied from the part 1.
I’ve seen it twice! Amazing on the big screen.
Same here bro. Going for round 3 next Sunday.
I just sat there when it ended. Not waiting for some cheesy post credit scene, just in appreciation that I lived to experience this.
Seeing this in IMAX was intense. The ending scenes felt so engaging.
i couldn't think of a good way to describe it but 3 hour long high seems about right, it was the best cinema experience i've had to date
A superlative master work of cinema.
I can't stop thinking about it I'm obsessed..... ordered the first book
This movie is the peak of cinema, it doesn’t get better than this
As a french canadian, I welcome you.
Watched it twice in Imax. It’s my new favourite film ever made.
The darkest moments are the ones that really seal the deal for me. “Target the weakest.” “Lead them to paradise.” “Grandfather, you die like an animal.” The Fremen being the ones burning the mountains of bodies at the end…
5:26 Which makes it better, because D.V. knows when to cut and not overstay a scene's welcome, whereas P.J. has never met a scene that he wants to cut, resulting in a frankly tiring and repetitive battle scene that quickly becomes dull.
Just got back from seeing Dune pt2. Its an incredible experience in the theater. Excellent Direction, Cast/acting, script, and plot. But the best thing about this movie is the excellent sound production, music, and lackthereof when it doesn't need it. Its the best theater experience I've had in years.
