The part where he walks in confidently to the council in the South of Arrakis, the music implemented there, the people starring at him in disbelief was one of the best scenes for me. It shows his character changed into full confidence mode like "idgaf I can see the future now".
I honestly really loved how brutally quick and unemphasized deaths were. It always kinda frustrated me how drawn out fight scenes get to kill off important characters, especially when that character wasn't even a fighter at any point in the story. These quick deaths display a certain brutality in war, show that no matter how big and important you are you can die in an instant.
It makes more sense regarding how H2H combat is in Dune as well, quick, complex but decisive, everyone has to be a skilled fighter at the level people are in this to survive
@@oroboros88 And realistically melee combat is usually over very quickly. If you watch people sparring in HEMA, bouts that go on beyond even just 1 minute without somebody taking a "lethal" hit are the minority.
Same, especially Gurney killing Rabban. Like, I love how people think that this muscle headed brute would have lasted any longer with the fucking warmaster of House Atreides touted as one of the best fighters in the imperium 😂 Rabban is depicted as kind of pathetic and not skilled and Gurney has been waiting years and years for this
I think it's a prelude to the fact that these "bad guys" were not the endgame of this story, merely stepping stones down the good-intentioned path to hell.
I think Paul’s shift in attitude and contradictory behavior make perfect sense in the context of the movie. Imagine getting snippets of a horrible future and having a vague notion of how you are responsible. You’d want to avoid it at all costs. But if you can suddenly see the whole future in multiple different timelines, you can come to accept some of those horrible things in an ends justify the means type way. I feel like gaining the power Paul gets from drinking the worm poison would drastically shift anyone’s behavior and outlook on things. With that power of foresight, he has fully stepped into his role as a messianic figure and knows how he must act to accomplish his goals. Before he was scared but fear is rooted in uncertainty. Once he discovers what will happen he no longer fears the future and acts accordingly.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
One thing to add - the cool ass black and white scenes you are talking about were shot with an infrared camera, not a black and white camera. So it’s not normal b&w, it’s super b&w. It is also why you see the black bene gesserit hoods turn stark white when they change scenes. Absolutely fantastic
Yeah the whole movie was just purely amazing cinematography, I don't know the last time I've sat through a movie that didn't treat me like I was some little kid that had to have exposition for everything, it made the universe feel so alive & real, breath-able, all the suspense & stakes were so powerful, possibly the best film in 2024 already released. Paul felt full peak GoT season 4 energy when he said he would take the emperor's daughter, and he'd be lucky to have his head. We need a Part 3 & Part 4, this is how the Rings of Power & the new Star Wars films should have been, now we know why Anakin hates sand so much its because its better than space operas.
To me personally it was crazy because it’s almost exactly how I imagined it when first reading the book. Because the hole book takes place on dune my mind just imagined it to be black and white out of a lack of description, but even the walls of the fighting pit where similar to how I would have imagined. The only difference is I imagined it being darker and the pit to be circular and a bit bigger.
I'm gonna try to keep out the spoilers so i hope anyone will know what i'm talking about, am i tripping or in the final act when Paul finds out something pretty crucial about his heritage and bloodline, does the color grading go more monochrome/decrease in saturation to support that plot point?
I didn’t know that scene was black and white because my theater had a huge magenta spot in the middle and a green area from top to bottom on the right. Kinda sad I didn’t get to see the movie how it was made to be seen. Shoulda asked for my money back.
Man, Austin Butler NAILED the role of Feyd-Rautha. Everything he does with that character, he does very well. Also, this man really knows how to use his voice, I mean, remember that this guy also played Elvis. What an amazing actor he is
I was wondering if they did infrared. It looks like it. There's another art film by the guy that did Koyanisqaatsi called Visitors that's all infrared and it's very interesting, looking just like those scenes.
Watch this in theaters DO NOT WAIT FOR STREAMING. This movie deserves to be seen on the big screen and you deserve to see it on the big screen. (Obvious due to comments but the sound is what you’re really there for)
Yes and no. Big screen is nice, but if you don’t pay for Dolby cinema or imax or something high end, the image quality and sound stage is ruined a ton, and some people’s at home setups will give better image quality/audio. Either buy the highest end theater experience or hope you have a nice hdr tv with a surround sound system.
@@Plupert nah I mean you don’t need a crazy sound system to have good bass. Especially in a small room. Just need some good tweeters, a good sub, and some fill. Then the right mixer and you’re golden. Some imax theaters I’ve been to are loud but the sound balancing and quality isn’t that great. Dolby is always a hit but that’s Dolby lol.
@@RiceCubeTech all of the things you mention cost a decent amount of money, my point still stands lol. I know zero people with an in depth sound system.
@@Plupert can get a good setup for 800 bucks if you price hunt and find good deals or are willing to go used. Klipsch had a full surround sound system for 1000 bucks that’s incredible. And yeah it’s more expensive than a single movie ticket but cheaper in the long run if you keep it for a long time, you can use it as long as you have it. If you buy a movie you can watch it an infinite number of times vs going to see a movie for 15 bucks every time you want to see it. Plus it can be used for music, watching tv, playing video games etc. things you can’t do in a theater.
If you're talking about the Baron's death, you're right. He doesn't get unceremoniously killed by Paul in the book. Instead, he's he's unceremoniously killed by a 4-year-old.
Possibly safe to say that Dune is this generation's Lord of the Rings Edit: Thanks to the people in the comments using the wrinkles in their brain to understand the meaning of my comment. Love y'all 💚
It's very different from LOTR but yes it's correct. This generation reenactment of an old classic using cutting edge technogies to bring it to life while staying true to its story somewhat.
The idea that dune part 1 is the fellowship of the rings for this franchise really resonates. Very deliberate pacing, lots of set up for some quality pay off later.
I also just forgot that CGI was a thing while watching this. Everything in the movie looks completely real. When Paul rides the grandfather worm, I was cheering too. It's like I was actually seeing him do this. I got so lost in this movie, I felt like I was in the movie.
Near the end of the movie I checked my phone for the time, not because I was hoping it would end soon but because I wanted even more. One of the biggest achievements in filmmaking this century. Villeneuve is a master of his craft.
Yeah at the haflway marked after Paul does you know what i was checking the time. The last 40 minutues turns this movie from incredible to a damn masterpiece.
oh man I did the same thing, I knew when it was ending because I’ve read the books and seen all the other versions but i still was hoping they added new stuff in.😂
Exactly what I was thinking. I read Dune 2 or 3 years ago and I remember a death towards the end being so nonchalant that I had to read the sentence once or twice to make sure I was understanding that a character died
@@zzzzzzzzzz_me To be fair, Leto II's death is the one death that kinda makes sense. They're in the middle of conflict, there's little to no time to mourn. And besides, if I'm not mistaken his son's demise is the one thing that drives Paul to kill Feyd and enter once and for all the "terrible path" laid for him in his visions.
I’ve been on the Villanueve train ever since blade runner 2049. So glad to see he’s finally getting his flowers with general audiences. He and Nolan are the best filmmakers of this generation and I hope he sweeps award shows next year.
It also drives home the harkonens (or however its spelled) are a brutal regime. Theres a few shots that heavily mirrored old black and white nazi propaganda tapes.
@@Thailerr it's said that deidi prime's sun give out only a 4th of earth's sun energy Imagine how brutal the environment of arrakis is to the average harkonnen No wonder they're always pissed
I reckon the sound design on the second Transformers was the best. Near the start when the ships come out of hyperspace, the bass blast thumping your chest in staccato as each ship pulls its brakes was the best I have heard. Dune is a way better movie of course…
I feel like the sound design and the music in general were better and much more unique in part 1. But that's complaining on an incredibly high level, both movies brought their A-game.
Dune Pt1 and Pt2 compliment each other perfectly; and people have now been enlightened to the awesomeness that always was Part 1 because now they see the full vision of where everything fits into everything else. Part 2 obviously GOATED with the sauce and slightly (or greatly) improved in every department except soundtrack, but Part 1 still an amazing film in its own right.
My only real complaint is Christopher Walken playing the Emperor, absolutely took me out of the movie seeing an actor that's practically a parody of himself speaking in a Bronx accent.
My first watch I through the same thing. But when I watched it again I came to appreciate that the emperor wasn’t some super powered, super weird magical dude, he was just a regular guy that could be bested and defeated. Like the uncle Vladimir was more imposing and someone who you’d picture as the emperor, so I thought that was cool.
Didn't even see the first one but I watched Dune 2 just because of the positive moist meter review. Now, I'm going to go back and watch the first one, re-watch the 2nd, and I can't wait until the 3rd.
I was never bored with the 1st film, to me it was nicely paced and intriguing with the quieter moments, plus the music is made by the legendary Hans Zimmer, so that's a plus! Cinematography and panoramic shots of the Arrakis was soo freaking cool and while the ending was a bit lackluster, I am eager to watch the 2nd part!
My 73 year old mom has never wanted to see a movie for a 2nd time in her life. I took her to watch it tonight and she told me she wanted to watch it again right after we got out of the theater. Frickin' amazing!
as the writer of dune himself said, "dune has a coital rhythm" meaning the entire thing slow builds to a huge climax, and separating dune to two parts means part 1 is all edging and part 2 is all c00ming.
I don't think I need to say that, but seeing Anya Talylor made me very excited for the 3rd movie. I've only read the 1st book so I don't know enough about Messiah to speak 100% here. But I have a feeling they're gonna do what they did with Chani (Zendaya) and have her appear a bit in Pt. 2 since she'll be a main character in 3
I wasnt that excited for her honestly. I mean I guess she’s a decent actor, but it was this long drawn out close up of her face and those googly eyes I was just like…ok…
The Harkonnen planet (Giedi Prime) is black and white because its sun shines in the IR light spectrum. Side note, the weapons Feyd-Rautha was given (the black and white knives) are actually designed and made by a brand called Zombie Tools, and I've been buying their work for about a decade now! Pretty awesome to see my favorite book series and my favorite smiths collaborate. Just thought I'd share :)
@@lilricebowl9731the only other canon explanation I can think of is in the book the baron is obsessed with something called “ebalite.” In the appendix it’s their version of a metal that looks like a mix of ebony and ivory color. So that might explain the all black and white ritualistic design, but it does look great.
The movie does show they're not doing very well in Arrakis... at least their vision. They need their visors/helmets/blinders, or they suffer temporary blindness, disorientation, and/or nausea in the Arrakis sun's light.
The whole movie is basically that scene in month python and the life of brian where brian said "I'm not the Messiah!" "I'd say you are my lord, I've followed a few!" "I'm not the messiah honestly" "Only the true messiah denies his divinity" "Allright then I AM THE MESSIAH" "HAIL MESSIAH!" "NOW F OFF!"
After Oppenheimer, I didn't think I'd see a production that good for a long time. Absolutely amazing on all levels. I can't bring myself to understand the "slow" criticisms, I felt like every moment was building more and more of the world and adding to the story and overall message.
@@NathanHiggerI want to warn you that while the main vision is still gotten across, the film does differ greatly from the book. It was a bit jarring at first for me, so that’s why I want to warn you. Just prepare yourself to enjoy the film for the film itself and don’t go into it thinking about the books at all.
Along with God Emperor of Dune, Dune messiah is certainly one of my favorite scifi story ever. It is incredible, it feels like a greek tragedy and would be the perfect way to end what the first two movies started. I can't wait to see Denis's take on it.
Love how they stopped playing background music for the 1v1 at the end. The only sounds are the struggles of the combatants, the knife blades clashing, the flesh tearing, the crowd gasping, the combatants breathing. It was so intense and well done. The decision to cut the music there only added to the scene
Yeah but the one thing I hate in movies that they always get wrong is people don’t just get stabbed in the gut and fall over and die. Like that’s so lazy and unrealistic. The bald dude would have still been in the fight after Paul stabbed him, Paul should have stabbed his neck or something afterwards.
Just saw Part 2 yesterday, blown away, loved it. However, what Part 2 did to me was show me how much I love Part 1, even more so than Part 2, just because of all that build up and showing us the world for the first time. Talking about stuff lost on screen, I totally agree, which also makes you as a viewer question a lot regarding Mr. Paul and his ways, it almost makes him emotionally cold all of a sudden. But that might be something he has to do in order to become what he needs to become, tough to explain.
SPOILER WARNING: I actually really liked the way they killed off the Baron. In that scene, the emperor had already come and humbled him after his attempt to take the throne. He was no longer a threat, as Paul is already aiming for the emperor. The Baron is an afterthought to him almost, and he executed him like an animal, he only really killed him to avenge his father. His death feeling inconsequential and not that hype I think is purposeful and meaningful. Though I’m curious what others think.
Same ! It really conveyed the brutality of war. The Fremen dominated, they were on THEIR territory, their hubris made them think they could tame Arrakis, and they paid the price. The Baron dying as a pathetic fat man on the steps to the throne, really sends the message that there is no glory to be had in this war.
tbh the book did that scene better. alia (unborn in the movie, sister to paul) slays him with the gom jabbar, proving that he's an animal (think back to gom jabbar and paul). they used the same dialogue but had na-baron slay him due to the lack of alia, who would've been 2 at the time. fucking iconic.
Agreed. He was also cut off from his floating orb pumpers shit and very weak. The baron was never a fighter. He was a coward, and he died like a dog. It was great.
I agree, and I think Charlie was also talking about Rabban's death, which is just a somewhat unmentioned "offscreen" death in the book. He dies quick in the movie, but at least it's shown.
Absolutely. Especially if viewed through the lens of Paul being able to see the future. The death of the Baron is a foregone conclusion. Add onto it the fact that Paul has just found out the Baron is his grandfather so there's not even any honor to it. It's not even much of a revenge. It's just a necessary death. A formality that Paul has to fulfill in order to move on from the first leg of his journey. Paul knows all along on his way to the tent that this is just the first step.
It wasn’t an accurate adaptation of the book but it was faithful as all hell. It really emphasized the terror and negativity that comes with a messianic figure like Paul while the novel doesn’t make that distinction super clear until the following books. Chani being more of a foil that loves Paul but fears his status is a great addition as well
I think the movie made the right changes in the right places because Denis Villeneuve is a Dune fan who gets that part of the books. He made sure to really hammer in the message that what is happening is NOT good ultimately and I loved that. A general audience is going to understand this theme rather than thinking Paul is a traditional hero. Chain having this tension with him is a really interesting change that adds to the message of the source material rather than detracting. The only (minor spoiler warning) gripe I have is … The fact that they don’t include the spacing guild and the way that impacts the ending. (major spoiler warning for the explanation) … This is difficult because the movie needs to stay clear and concise to a general audience, and there’s already a lot of (particularly trippy) things that it juggles extremely well as a visual medium, and it only does that by being very calculated and reserved in HOW things are included. The spacing guild not really being present helps keep the movie clearer for most people, but it does change the dynamic. Spice is important but it’s never really made clear just HOW important it is. Paul’s threat to destroy the spice works in the books because the Guild believes him and can’t see far enough into the future to be anything but terrified. The other Houses are forced to stay back from the battle because the Guild refuses to transport any ship that lands. They initially accept him because the Guild forces it to be so. By cutting them out, the movie focuses so much better on the more important things, especially the Bene Gesserit, but it loses a significant piece of context. It also means the ending of the movie makes a lot less sense, where (as far as the characters claim) every other Great House denies Paul’s claim, and the Fremen immediately go to war. It makes a lot more sense to have at least a tiny mention of the Guild and have a few members present with the Emperor, just like in the book, or to have Gurney clearly state that only some of the Great Houses have denied him. If they all do, then Paul doesn’t have a reason to marry Irulan other than to try to legitimize his rule, and realistically there aren’t enough Fremen to withstand the armies of the entire rest of the Imperium all at once. I think Villeneuve might recognize this before the next movie and provide a tiny bit of correction. After all, a Navigator is a central character in Messiah, and Villeneuve has also proven that he can make some changes to best fit what will and won’t work with an audience through the differences in this movie and the last one. Its only a minor gripe anyway because 1: it’s kind of my nitpicking book-fan level of examination that gives it any significance, 2: the rest of the movie was utterly incredible, and 3: I do believe Denis will actually find a correction for this in Messiah.
It's kind of weird - they kept the theme, but changed the plot outright. Who didn't drug the combatant and why. The geopolitical/religious situation of north/south. Paul and Chani's relationship. Paul's sister. Paul's relationship with his mother. His mother's motivations and actions. The Great Houses' reaction to Paul's ascendance. The list goes on and on. This is no simple "they had to make changes for the big screen", this is more of a sci fi movie loosely based on a book of the same name. To be clear, this was an amazing movie. But I think it's best to imagine that it's its own independent thing and forget that a book was involved at all. Edit: and because apparently it's not clear, I'm NOT asking questions here, I'm listing some specific changes between the book and movie that alter the plot to varying degrees
@@Brew78 i havent read the book but in the movie they said the Baron didnt drug the combatant so his nephew can like let his bloodlust out and fight for honor or wtv he likes. Also i agree with you about ur last take. I have read the book but pretty much any show or a movie thats from a comic book/book is diffrent and it should be that way. Books will never be adapted 100% because its impossible. im glad i didnt read the book because these 2 movies are incredible and i would probably be expecting stuff and end up being dissapointed if i did read it so ill read it after third movie comes out.
@@iCapSlaySs the only problem I had with the first is the cinema I went to played the movie extremely loud so I couldn't hear and understand anything. Other than that, it was great.
I finally watched this today. Honestly, one of the best (if not the best) movie that I have ever seen. The only way I can explain it, is that it is just a one-of-a-kind experience, I came out of the movie, the sense of mystique and immersion that the Fremen give, the way Paul is written from quiet to loud, just, every single scene felt SO impactful. Honestly, just go and see it.
Start of the film spoilers ahead The introduction with the harkonnen troops gliding up the cliff face so seamlessly then transitioning back to standing already hooked me. So well executed.
I was kinda expecting them to at least show them clicking on a button for fly mode I found tht sequence like bunch of men on a upward pulley system old fashioned way lol
That scene was the first thing I went back to mention when the movie ended. The minimalistic music with beautiful cinematography made it. I knew we were about to be in for a masterpiece.
The cool thing about the Giedi Prime gladiatorial scene is that it wasn't a black and white filter layered over colored shots, they used actually used an infrared camera which *only* captures black and white and adds some additional effects (color shifting, translucent skin), etc. The shots never had any color at all
I watched pt1 last year and just watched pt2 yesterday and this has quickly become a favorite for me, it really was almost the perfect movie and had me on edge the entire time
i really enjoyed it, even more than the first. i think that had to do a lot with how the first movie took on most of the exposition/lore, so the second one had more room to breathe. a lot of the action scenes were my favorite parts, not just because, “ooohh cool explosions/fighting”, but because of the emotional weight thanks to the set up of the first movie. i expect an even bigger pay off in the third from what was set up in the second. i’m very satisfied with what i saw AND excited for what’s coming next
@@Lgg130 I like to think it was sand particles in the air getting burned because of the intense reflection of sunlight from the ship, and then those particles getting carried away by the wind, making it seem like a glowing fire trail.
Its a certified banger. We would need 10 films to cover just this book in full, and that isn't reasonable. The stuff they cut from the book, I actually agree with. A lot of was just a lot repeating dialogue and meetings. I think Denis did a really good job at picking and choosing what to adapt, what to change, and what to leave out.
Agreed though an official explanation as to why a particular ending was changed would help. I’m talking about the true abomination and the Baron attempting to kidnap her.
@@unanimousarts The 'abomination' happens in later books. The first two movies only cover the first book. A third movie will cover the events of Dune Messiah.
@@unanimousarts Unless you are referring to her not already being born in the movie, when she was in the book, then yes I would agree. I was looking forward to seeing that character.
just finished watching in IMAX couple hours ago this movie was insane, i was so invested in the movie that I didn't even realize 2 hours 40 minutes had passed by the cinematography, the music, the acting timothee chalamet really nailed it in this movie, especially when he giving the whole speech in front of the whole fremen
I completely agree with Charlie about how every actor in these films is putting in their best work. I truly think that essentially every actor in Dune is putting in a career defining magnum opus of a performance. Everyone is just so believable, the emotion is so raw, and most of all, so much of the masterful acting in these movies is done through simple expression and body language, the true window into the soul of a character. Dune will come to rival LOTR as the best book-to-film adaptation, and for me (the biggest star wars fan I've ever met) it is the finest science fiction story to be put on screen.
Been waiting for this dune part 2 was fucking amazing it couldn’t have been a better movie Timothys performancewas fucking fantastic it shook me when he was giving his speech. The worm ride made me feel like i was on the worm itself the amount of work they put into this movie was insane my heart dropped through out the movie stilgar was one of the best parts of the movie everytime he got exited about the “madhib” it was so funny and so wholesome the relationship they build through out the movie was like a brotherhood never seen before definitely my top movie of the year maybe of all time.
the fakeout at the end. i legit couldnt agree more man. all i could think about was how incredible the acting was. just pure raw fucking emotion man. like the end of teh movie with timmy and zendaya?? legit shook me to my core
With all of the great actors showcasing their talents, I have to say that Austin Butler set the stage for me. He was so into his character & you can sense he wanted the viewer to feel the menacing aura and his passion for pain. Superb performance from all.
@@stalka4515True but after Messiah, books get really weird and tricky to adapt, id love that tho. Also, once Paul story is over i feel most non readers will lose interest.
I remember coming out of the theater when Dune 1 came out and being so hyped up i couldnt believe i had to wait a coulple of years for 2 expecting a delivery so good but damn this film did so much honor to part 1, i was blown away by every fucking part, this universe and characters have sooo much potential and i always believed in Denis, hes one of the great filmmakers of today, specially after Bladerunner 2049, hes 100% invested in his work, his research, the legacy of this stories
Agreed this is the first time I've paid attention to Dune as a series I was looking for something to do while waiting for someone and the run time of Dune killed time perfectly almost being 3hrs and now I can't get it out of my head. I need to know more.
"looking forward to Part Three to see how it wraps this story up" To quote Frank Herbert: Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.' ...in all seriousness though, of the original 6 Dune novels (side-note: I once made the mistake of starting to read some of the 30 prequels/sequels posing as canon by Brian Herbert. Never again), Dune Messiah is the one sequel that might as well be literally glued on the back of the first novel, because not only is it about a third of the length of Dune, it also feels like an epilogue, and it's pretty well known that Frank Herbert's main role for that novel was to drop a bucket of ice water on people who read the first one and didn't realize that they were supposed to be conflicted rather than cheering for Paul by the end of it, and then repeatedly slaps them in the face to make sure they get it (and it's great! I can't wait to see what Villeneuve will make of that, since it is apparently his favorite and he basically already pulled some of it ahead into Part Two lol). As a massive Dune fan, I find all 6 novels incredibly interesting and surprisingly distinct reads, each of them challenging the reader in a slightly different way; but the cool thing is, that any one of them can work as an ending for the series...while always leaving some obvious potential for the rest open to your imagination, or for reads of the remaining sequels! Most people peace out when they get to the 4th novel and realize they're reading an invincible worm-man's ramblings about humanity, but IMO that's when shit gets real fun in Dune.
@@PBart7 We're definitely getting Messiah by Villeneuve (honestly a lot of the aspects of how he handled Part Two feel like they were done with Messiah as the endgoal in mind LOL), but he is very adamant about not rushing it (he is not committing to production until the script is perfected) and possibly taking a break and doing some other unrelated film before returning to Arrakis with a refreshed state, as well as letting the actors age a bit and gather other experience (since the story does take place over a decade after the jihad in the novel). So we'd get Messiah probably in like 2027 earliest. I think novels 4 and 5+6 could benefit from being HBO miniseries rather than movies. And honestly, they could even be made out of order with how large the time gaps are between those stories. It's a shame that the upcoming "Dune Prophecy" series that we have barely any info on, seems to be some kind of prequel; because if the point is to focus on the Bene Geserit, it could as well have been a Heretics/Chapterhouse adaptation lol
The books are stellar. Rabban just dies somewhere in the fighting in the book. The Baron goes out VERY differently by a character we havent technically met yet. They did a good job of condensing everything in my opinion as a life long fan of the source.
@@rondomaneMy personal complaint comes from the perspective of Gurney fearfully telling Paul that the Harkonnens are brutal. Rabban was quite terrifying in the first film and in the first half of the second film. I just have a hard time believing that Rabban could be killed so easily. So, am I to think that he was just a big headed coward that had no combat experience and could be killed off easily?
@@unanimousarts no but he was no match for gurney halleck one of the greatest fighters in the Dune universe. Imo it makes sense rabban got absolutely clapped, especially with the vengeance mindset gurney had. Rabban was also never much more than the barons errand boy in the book, and his death is just mentioned as a one sentence sidenote.
@@unanimousarts Rabban was an intimidating bully, when he has power over something he is incredibly brutal. Against deadly and skilled fighters that do not fear him, he doesn't know what to do. Just look at the scene where he seems genuinely terrified by the Fremen when he flees, and still nearly gets killed by one as he flees.
@@romanbloomfield9066Yea, believe me, I get it. It’s just that this particular scene is so incredibly short, it borderline begs the question as to why it should occupy the space of a fast cut. Rabban is a talented fighter (maybe not in the context of the movie). He is certainly not the best but open to protecting his life by all means. He knows how to fight and despite him running away in situations depicted as cowardly, he still decides to take on Gurney rather than fleeing. Maybe he could have dispatched his guards to attack Gurney first before his final demise if we think that Rabban was incapable of throwing a couple of missed swings, punches, or what have you. Anything to make the scene just a bit longer. I could’ve blinked and missed the scene.
I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by dune part 2. Part 1 was great for me, I was invested and really excited to see the second one in theaters. The visuals were incredible in the first and even better in the second, especially the black and white scenes. It was beautiful and gruesome and just really artfully executed. And one thing that I feel was missed by a lot of people was how well they used silence. A lot of movies have scores for almost every scene, where dune only used music sparingly and it was so powerful. The silence works really well with the whole theme about the desert being something to fear (along with worms being attracted to sound).
Im really glad and excited to see this big resurgence in popularity dune is having. Im even more glad that the movies arent trash like everything else that comes out these days. You can really tell everyone put as much passion and effort into these movies as they possibly could
Part 1 was just slow for the new gen spending all their time on tik tok. I was captivated the whole movie and it was incredible. I can't wait to see part 2 tomorrow night!
@@vvsparis Agreed! Saw it last night and it's definitely the movie of the year. There's no director like Villeneuve. This was the only movie I was really looking forward to in 2024.

As is written, Lisanal Ghaib pre-taps
The part where he walks in confidently to the council in the South of Arrakis, the music implemented there, the people starring at him in disbelief was one of the best scenes for me. It shows his character changed into full confidence mode like "idgaf I can see the future now".
yeah that one guy is like you must defeat the previous leader and Paul is like fuck all that, I am in charge now because I say so
I think this was the most hype scene for me, the music and everything just hit SO hard at that part
That's not the only thing it conveyed. He basically turned into a villain at that moment.
one of my favorite scenes of all time, i cant stop thinking about it
That scene was great, especially when he is singling out that one solider with the knowledge of his life, goosebumps
"You paid for the whole seat, but you only need the edge."

i dont know how this man's brain works. his zingers are consistently the zingiest.
the first time i heard it was on duck dynasty
I honestly really loved how brutally quick and unemphasized deaths were. It always kinda frustrated me how drawn out fight scenes get to kill off important characters, especially when that character wasn't even a fighter at any point in the story. These quick deaths display a certain brutality in war, show that no matter how big and important you are you can die in an instant.
It makes more sense regarding how H2H combat is in Dune as well, quick, complex but decisive, everyone has to be a skilled fighter at the level people are in this to survive
@@oroboros88 And realistically melee combat is usually over very quickly. If you watch people sparring in HEMA, bouts that go on beyond even just 1 minute without somebody taking a "lethal" hit are the minority.
Agreed. I disagree with Charlie on this one.
Same, especially Gurney killing Rabban. Like, I love how people think that this muscle headed brute would have lasted any longer with the fucking warmaster of House Atreides touted as one of the best fighters in the imperium 😂 Rabban is depicted as kind of pathetic and not skilled and Gurney has been waiting years and years for this
I think it's a prelude to the fact that these "bad guys" were not the endgame of this story, merely stepping stones down the good-intentioned path to hell.
Brp the scene where Paul was riding the sand worm, was absolutely breathtaking.

@@pxrplexed3501Tried to discreetly wipe it away so the dude next to me wouldn't notice.
I think Paul’s shift in attitude and contradictory behavior make perfect sense in the context of the movie. Imagine getting snippets of a horrible future and having a vague notion of how you are responsible. You’d want to avoid it at all costs. But if you can suddenly see the whole future in multiple different timelines, you can come to accept some of those horrible things in an ends justify the means type way. I feel like gaining the power Paul gets from drinking the worm poison would drastically shift anyone’s behavior and outlook on things. With that power of foresight, he has fully stepped into his role as a messianic figure and knows how he must act to accomplish his goals. Before he was scared but fear is rooted in uncertainty. Once he discovers what will happen he no longer fears the future and acts accordingly.
beautifully put, helped me better understand the importance/gravity of the worm poison part - thank you!
awesome explanation!
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Kinda like eren from AOT
@@freddiboomjr2292I was legit thinking that too
My favorite part is when Paul is walking in the desert and says: "this is a dune, too"
Nice🎉
How you dune?
Are dune with your jokes lil bro

Then he pauled all over them?
The first half of this movie is like a grade A comfort movie in its own right. I loved Stilgar going "see he's the messiah!" every other scene.

Dune part 2 is the only movie ever that made me feel that id like to see it again within a few days.
Same, I'm planning on going to the IMAX again in a few weeks when good tickets are easier to get.
Definitely, I didn't feel bored for a single moment
fr
Saw it yesterday with my grandpa. Loved it so much I made my girlfriend watch the first one and I’m taking her to see the second tomorrow
weird, cuz i walked out of the theater early. it was so boring and messy.
Probably has the best title drop ever to. “Back then, Arakkis had a fremen name: Dune”
Does that name/story have further significance that’ll be explored more later or just a title drop cuz I wasn’t sure what he was talking about
Same even I was confused when it was mentioned
@@01s.61 What are you confused about? It's just the fremen name of the planet
@@ExNihilo. I think he's confused as to how Paul got that name and how no fremen has ever said it even though it's their own planet.
First movie was even harder.
"My desert, my arrakis, my dune"
One thing to add - the cool ass black and white scenes you are talking about were shot with an infrared camera, not a black and white camera. So it’s not normal b&w, it’s super b&w. It is also why you see the black bene gesserit hoods turn stark white when they change scenes. Absolutely fantastic
All the giedi prime scenes were "absolutely fantastic" and then some.
Yeah the whole movie was just purely amazing cinematography, I don't know the last time I've sat through a movie that didn't treat me like I was some little kid that had to have exposition for everything, it made the universe feel so alive & real, breath-able, all the suspense & stakes were so powerful, possibly the best film in 2024 already released.
Paul felt full peak GoT season 4 energy when he said he would take the emperor's daughter, and he'd be lucky to have his head.
We need a Part 3 & Part 4, this is how the Rings of Power & the new Star Wars films should have been, now we know why Anakin hates sand so much its because its better than space operas.
To me personally it was crazy because it’s almost exactly how I imagined it when first reading the book. Because the hole book takes place on dune my mind just imagined it to be black and white out of a lack of description, but even the walls of the fighting pit where similar to how I would have imagined. The only difference is I imagined it being darker and the pit to be circular and a bit bigger.
I'm gonna try to keep out the spoilers so i hope anyone will know what i'm talking about, am i tripping or in the final act when Paul finds out something pretty crucial about his heritage and bloodline, does the color grading go more monochrome/decrease in saturation to support that plot point?
I didn’t know that scene was black and white because my theater had a huge magenta spot in the middle and a green area from top to bottom on the right. Kinda sad I didn’t get to see the movie how it was made to be seen. Shoulda asked for my money back.
Man, Austin Butler NAILED the role of Feyd-Rautha. Everything he does with that character, he does very well. Also, this man really knows how to use his voice, I mean, remember that this guy also played Elvis. What an amazing actor he is
Holy shit, he played Elvis? He's got an incredible acting range. Im gonna keep an eye on his future roles.
He nailed it I could feel his psychotic rage through him 😂
Yeeeeeee Wonka vs Elvissss
He was so frickin great there, I think he even got an oscar nomination for it.
he was even good back in his early career in shanara chronicles. cringe mtv show that continued on spike tv but still.
I love that the black and white scenes were filmed with infrared instead of being done in post
I was wondering if they did infrared. It looks like it. There's another art film by the guy that did Koyanisqaatsi called Visitors that's all infrared and it's very interesting, looking just like those scenes.
Watch this in theaters DO NOT WAIT FOR STREAMING. This movie deserves to be seen on the big screen and you deserve to see it on the big screen.
(Obvious due to comments but the sound is what you’re really there for)
Yes and no. Big screen is nice, but if you don’t pay for Dolby cinema or imax or something high end, the image quality and sound stage is ruined a ton, and some people’s at home setups will give better image quality/audio.
Either buy the highest end theater experience or hope you have a nice hdr tv with a surround sound system.
@@RiceCubeTechif your at home set up is rivaling IMAX or Dolby sound systems I think they can afford to pay for the ticket.
@@Plupert nah I mean you don’t need a crazy sound system to have good bass. Especially in a small room. Just need some good tweeters, a good sub, and some fill. Then the right mixer and you’re golden. Some imax theaters I’ve been to are loud but the sound balancing and quality isn’t that great.
Dolby is always a hit but that’s Dolby lol.
@@RiceCubeTech all of the things you mention cost a decent amount of money, my point still stands lol. I know zero people with an in depth sound system.
@@Plupert can get a good setup for 800 bucks if you price hunt and find good deals or are willing to go used. Klipsch had a full surround sound system for 1000 bucks that’s incredible.
And yeah it’s more expensive than a single movie ticket but cheaper in the long run if you keep it for a long time, you can use it as long as you have it. If you buy a movie you can watch it an infinite number of times vs going to see a movie for 15 bucks every time you want to see it.
Plus it can be used for music, watching tv, playing video games etc. things you can’t do in a theater.

Even though the books are so different between those, the feeling of scale and intrigue made it feel like that to me too
It's very different from LOTR but yes it's correct. This generation reenactment of an old classic using cutting edge technogies to bring it to life while staying true to its story somewhat.
Dune is a replacement for Star Wars imo.
The idea that dune part 1 is the fellowship of the rings for this franchise really resonates. Very deliberate pacing, lots of set up for some quality pay off later.
It's the greatest on-screen spectacle along with LoTR

@@Vuuduusmh
@@VuuduuI agree, but unfortunately for you uno reverse
Ironically the big character deaths also go by super quick in the book but in a slightly different way
You could actually argue that the characters in the movie had a more eventful death lol
Leto II gets like 3 sentences and then no further attention 💀
I also just forgot that CGI was a thing while watching this. Everything in the movie looks completely real. When Paul rides the grandfather worm, I was cheering too. It's like I was actually seeing him do this. I got so lost in this movie, I felt like I was in the movie.
Near the end of the movie I checked my phone for the time, not because I was hoping it would end soon but because I wanted even more. One of the biggest achievements in filmmaking this century. Villeneuve is a master of his craft.
Yeah at the haflway marked after Paul does you know what i was checking the time. The last 40 minutues turns this movie from incredible to a damn masterpiece.
i was relieved to see i still had an hour left haha
Literally did the same shit lmao
you know it’s a good movie when you’re checking your phone in hope that there’s a lot of runtime left
oh man I did the same thing, I knew when it was ending because I’ve read the books and seen all the other versions but i still was hoping they added new stuff in.😂
Whats funny is that some of the character deaths in the book are actually emphasised even less than the movie.
Ya that complaint made me laugh, I was like the movie made a bigger deal about them than the book lol
"Oh yeah, Leto II died lol, that was a bummer, here's the attack on Arrakeen and blowing up the shield wall."
@@zzzzzzzzzz_me I did wish that was in the movie. I liked how it showed how inhuman Paul had become.
Exactly what I was thinking. I read Dune 2 or 3 years ago and I remember a death towards the end being so nonchalant that I had to read the sentence once or twice to make sure I was understanding that a character died
@@zzzzzzzzzz_me To be fair, Leto II's death is the one death that kinda makes sense. They're in the middle of conflict, there's little to no time to mourn. And besides, if I'm not mistaken his son's demise is the one thing that drives Paul to kill Feyd and enter once and for all the "terrible path" laid for him in his visions.

The black & white gladiator scene is filmed in infrared, this is what gives it some of its otherworldly appearance.
Cool. Thanks for the info! 😮
It also drives home the harkonens (or however its spelled) are a brutal regime. Theres a few shots that heavily mirrored old black and white nazi propaganda tapes.
Because of Geidi Prime's black sun. It shines in infrared
Definitely gave it an otherwordly almost eerie appearance. I felt uncomfortable watching that scene, low key spooked me.
@@Thailerr it's said that deidi prime's sun give out only a 4th of earth's sun energy
Imagine how brutal the environment of arrakis is to the average harkonnen
No wonder they're always pissed
The sound design and music in part 2 is INSANE.
The best theatre viewing experience I’ve ever had.
fr. I go to IMAX for the sound more the big screen. Gotta feel all those explosions lol.
same here!! best theatre experience ever
music sounded the same as the last movie lol its aight
I reckon the sound design on the second Transformers was the best. Near the start when the ships come out of hyperspace, the bass blast thumping your chest in staccato as each ship pulls its brakes was the best I have heard.
Dune is a way better movie of course…
I feel like the sound design and the music in general were better and much more unique in part 1. But that's complaining on an incredibly high level, both movies brought their A-game.
Dune Pt1 and Pt2 compliment each other perfectly; and people have now been enlightened to the awesomeness that always was Part 1 because now they see the full vision of where everything fits into everything else. Part 2 obviously GOATED with the sauce and slightly (or greatly) improved in every department except soundtrack, but Part 1 still an amazing film in its own right.
My only real complaint is Christopher Walken playing the Emperor, absolutely took me out of the movie seeing an actor that's practically a parody of himself speaking in a Bronx accent.
My first watch I through the same thing. But when I watched it again I came to appreciate that the emperor wasn’t some super powered, super weird magical dude, he was just a regular guy that could be bested and defeated. Like the uncle Vladimir was more imposing and someone who you’d picture as the emperor, so I thought that was cool.

Part one was slow if you weren't entertained. And if you didn't have fun watching it you're a moron, go watch madam web.
I think after LOTR and the Dark Knight trilogy, we finally might have another legendary trilogy with all bangers in DUNE.
Didn't even see the first one but I watched Dune 2 just because of the positive moist meter review. Now, I'm going to go back and watch the first one, re-watch the 2nd, and I can't wait until the 3rd.
@@xTheBOISx first one is also good. It's mostly world building, lore and the setup of the story so it's a different movie but still very good.

@@roaldepicboi7304 the other books are kinda weird im not sure there gonna make movies on it

I was never bored with the 1st film, to me it was nicely paced and intriguing with the quieter moments, plus the music is made by the legendary Hans Zimmer, so that's a plus! Cinematography and panoramic shots of the Arrakis was soo freaking cool and while the ending was a bit lackluster, I am eager to watch the 2nd part!
My 73 year old mom has never wanted to see a movie for a 2nd time in her life. I took her to watch it tonight and she told me she wanted to watch it again right after we got out of the theater. Frickin' amazing!

The cast is absolutely phenomenal. My jaw hit the FLOOR when I saw Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy (despite the small role)
I don't think I need to say that, but seeing Anya Talylor made me very excited for the 3rd movie. I've only read the 1st book so I don't know enough about Messiah to speak 100% here. But I have a feeling they're gonna do what they did with Chani (Zendaya) and have her appear a bit in Pt. 2 since she'll be a main character in 3
@@jackoster7115 Without spoiling anything I can certainly tell you she will pop off in the next movie
I wasnt that excited for her honestly. I mean I guess she’s a decent actor, but it was this long drawn out close up of her face and those googly eyes I was just like…ok…
The Harkonnen planet (Giedi Prime) is black and white because its sun shines in the IR light spectrum. Side note, the weapons Feyd-Rautha was given (the black and white knives) are actually designed and made by a brand called Zombie Tools, and I've been buying their work for about a decade now! Pretty awesome to see my favorite book series and my favorite smiths collaborate. Just thought I'd share :)
That's such a cool fact about the Harkonnen planet!
I was wondering what the canonical explanation was
@@lilricebowl9731the only other canon explanation I can think of is in the book the baron is obsessed with something called “ebalite.” In the appendix it’s their version of a metal that looks like a mix of ebony and ivory color. So that might explain the all black and white ritualistic design, but it does look great.
Wouldn’t Arrakis destroy them then? Wouldn’t they be adapted to a different type of light?
The movie does show they're not doing very well in Arrakis... at least their vision. They need their visors/helmets/blinders, or they suffer temporary blindness, disorientation, and/or nausea in the Arrakis sun's light.
The whole movie is basically that scene in month python and the life of brian where brian said
"I'm not the Messiah!"
"I'd say you are my lord, I've followed a few!"
"I'm not the messiah honestly"
"Only the true messiah denies his divinity"

Along with God Emperor of Dune, Dune messiah is certainly one of my favorite scifi story ever. It is incredible, it feels like a greek tragedy and would be the perfect way to end what the first two movies started. I can't wait to see Denis's take on it.
I hope they get to the God Emperor. Thats when this WHOLE story accumulates and all comes together.
Love how they stopped playing background music for the 1v1 at the end. The only sounds are the struggles of the combatants, the knife blades clashing, the flesh tearing, the crowd gasping, the combatants breathing. It was so intense and well done. The decision to cut the music there only added to the scene
Yeah but the one thing I hate in movies that they always get wrong is people don’t just get stabbed in the gut and fall over and die. Like that’s so lazy and unrealistic. The bald dude would have still been in the fight after Paul stabbed him, Paul should have stabbed his neck or something afterwards.

Now here is another joke - Zendaya as a beautiful fremenist princess
Just saw Part 2 yesterday, blown away, loved it. However, what Part 2 did to me was show me how much I love Part 1, even more so than Part 2, just because of all that build up and showing us the world for the first time.
Talking about stuff lost on screen, I totally agree, which also makes you as a viewer question a lot regarding Mr. Paul and his ways, it almost makes him emotionally cold all of a sudden. But that might be something he has to do in order to become what he needs to become, tough to explain.
SPOILER WARNING:
I actually really liked the way they killed off the Baron. In that scene, the emperor had already come and humbled him after his attempt to take the throne. He was no longer a threat, as Paul is already aiming for the emperor. The Baron is an afterthought to him almost, and he executed him like an animal, he only really killed him to avenge his father. His death feeling inconsequential and not that hype I think is purposeful and meaningful.
Though I’m curious what others think.
Same ! It really conveyed the brutality of war. The Fremen dominated, they were on THEIR territory, their hubris made them think they could tame Arrakis, and they paid the price.
The Baron dying as a pathetic fat man on the steps to the throne, really sends the message that there is no glory to be had in this war.
tbh the book did that scene better. alia (unborn in the movie, sister to paul) slays him with the gom jabbar, proving that he's an animal (think back to gom jabbar and paul). they used the same dialogue but had na-baron slay him due to the lack of alia, who would've been 2 at the time. fucking iconic.
Agreed. He was also cut off from his floating orb pumpers shit and very weak. The baron was never a fighter. He was a coward, and he died like a dog. It was great.
I agree, and I think Charlie was also talking about Rabban's death, which is just a somewhat unmentioned "offscreen" death in the book. He dies quick in the movie, but at least it's shown.
Absolutely. Especially if viewed through the lens of Paul being able to see the future. The death of the Baron is a foregone conclusion. Add onto it the fact that Paul has just found out the Baron is his grandfather so there's not even any honor to it. It's not even much of a revenge. It's just a necessary death. A formality that Paul has to fulfill in order to move on from the first leg of his journey. Paul knows all along on his way to the tent that this is just the first step.
It wasn’t an accurate adaptation of the book but it was faithful as all hell.
It really emphasized the terror and negativity that comes with a messianic figure like Paul while the novel doesn’t make that distinction super clear until the following books.
Chani being more of a foil that loves Paul but fears his status is a great addition as well
I think the movie made the right changes in the right places because Denis Villeneuve is a Dune fan who gets that part of the books. He made sure to really hammer in the message that what is happening is NOT good ultimately and I loved that. A general audience is going to understand this theme rather than thinking Paul is a traditional hero. Chain having this tension with him is a really interesting change that adds to the message of the source material rather than detracting.
The only (minor spoiler warning) gripe I have is
…
The fact that they don’t include the spacing guild and the way that impacts the ending. (major spoiler warning for the explanation)
…
This is difficult because the movie needs to stay clear and concise to a general audience, and there’s already a lot of (particularly trippy) things that it juggles extremely well as a visual medium, and it only does that by being very calculated and reserved in HOW things are included. The spacing guild not really being present helps keep the movie clearer for most people, but it does change the dynamic. Spice is important but it’s never really made clear just HOW important it is. Paul’s threat to destroy the spice works in the books because the Guild believes him and can’t see far enough into the future to be anything but terrified. The other Houses are forced to stay back from the battle because the Guild refuses to transport any ship that lands. They initially accept him because the Guild forces it to be so.
By cutting them out, the movie focuses so much better on the more important things, especially the Bene Gesserit, but it loses a significant piece of context. It also means the ending of the movie makes a lot less sense, where (as far as the characters claim) every other Great House denies Paul’s claim, and the Fremen immediately go to war. It makes a lot more sense to have at least a tiny mention of the Guild and have a few members present with the Emperor, just like in the book, or to have Gurney clearly state that only some of the Great Houses have denied him. If they all do, then Paul doesn’t have a reason to marry Irulan other than to try to legitimize his rule, and realistically there aren’t enough Fremen to withstand the armies of the entire rest of the Imperium all at once.
I think Villeneuve might recognize this before the next movie and provide a tiny bit of correction. After all, a Navigator is a central character in Messiah, and Villeneuve has also proven that he can make some changes to best fit what will and won’t work with an audience through the differences in this movie and the last one.
Its only a minor gripe anyway because 1: it’s kind of my nitpicking book-fan level of examination that gives it any significance, 2: the rest of the movie was utterly incredible, and 3: I do believe Denis will actually find a correction for this in Messiah.
I'm worried about how part 3 is gonna be because of how different they made Chani
It's kind of weird - they kept the theme, but changed the plot outright. Who didn't drug the combatant and why. The geopolitical/religious situation of north/south. Paul and Chani's relationship. Paul's sister. Paul's relationship with his mother. His mother's motivations and actions. The Great Houses' reaction to Paul's ascendance. The list goes on and on. This is no simple "they had to make changes for the big screen", this is more of a sci fi movie loosely based on a book of the same name. To be clear, this was an amazing movie. But I think it's best to imagine that it's its own independent thing and forget that a book was involved at all.
Edit: and because apparently it's not clear, I'm NOT asking questions here, I'm listing some specific changes between the book and movie that alter the plot to varying degrees
@@Brew78 i havent read the book but in the movie they said the Baron didnt drug the combatant so his nephew can like let his bloodlust out and fight for honor or wtv he likes. Also i agree with you about ur last take. I have read the book but pretty much any show or a movie thats from a comic book/book is diffrent and it should be that way. Books will never be adapted 100% because its impossible. im glad i didnt read the book because these 2 movies are incredible and i would probably be expecting stuff and end up being dissapointed if i did read it so ill read it after third movie comes out.
@@mewface1177 trilogies tend to falter in the third.
Hopefully no Ewoks.
Honestly, Part 2 elevated Part 1 to new heights.
Really true. Reminds me of enjoying fellowship even more after two towers
Nah fr I watched part 1 again after and enjoyed even more watching it the first time it’s initial release
@@iCapSlaySs the only problem I had with the first is the cinema I went to played the movie extremely loud so I couldn't hear and understand anything. Other than that, it was great.
I am hooked! I need part 3 NOW!
I finally watched this today. Honestly, one of the best (if not the best) movie that I have ever seen. The only way I can explain it, is that it is just a one-of-a-kind experience, I came out of the movie, the sense of mystique and immersion that the Fremen give, the way Paul is written from quiet to loud, just, every single scene felt SO impactful. Honestly, just go and see it.
Start of the film spoilers ahead
The introduction with the harkonnen troops gliding up the cliff face so seamlessly then transitioning back to standing already hooked me. So well executed.
I was kinda expecting them to at least show them clicking on a button for fly mode
I found tht sequence like bunch of men on a upward pulley system old fashioned way lol
That scene was the first thing I went back to mention when the movie ended. The minimalistic music with beautiful cinematography made it. I knew we were about to be in for a masterpiece.
@@jmd489 For sure
I mean, when they turn off the fly mode, you can actually see them flicking it off with a little switch on their belt.@@November8888
it was SO disturbing too, combined with the soundtrack it was really pretty freaky
The cool thing about the Giedi Prime gladiatorial scene is that it wasn't a black and white filter layered over colored shots, they used actually used an infrared camera which *only* captures black and white and adds some additional effects (color shifting, translucent skin), etc. The shots never had any color at all
sick
saw it in imax, easily my favorite movie in a long time
That’s because their planets sun is infrared. Amazing detail by Denis
I watched pt1 last year and just watched pt2 yesterday and this has quickly become a favorite for me, it really was almost the perfect movie and had me on edge the entire time
i really enjoyed it, even more than the first. i think that had to do a lot with how the first movie took on most of the exposition/lore, so the second one had more room to breathe. a lot of the action scenes were my favorite parts, not just because, “ooohh cool explosions/fighting”, but because of the emotional weight thanks to the set up of the first movie. i expect an even bigger pay off in the third from what was set up in the second. i’m very satisfied with what i saw AND excited for what’s coming next
Denis doesn't miss. He has made 2 of the best sequels of all time
He's easily one of the best directors working right now. Such a great and unique catalog of movies
Don't forget, Charlie idiotically gave Blade Runner 2049 a terrible review.
my favorite part was definitely when that giant ball ship flew above that military base or what, and the way they did the reflection was just perfect
I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Eye of Sauron.
Speaking of which, did it start flaming because of shield activation? Friction against sand particles?
@@Lgg130 the sandstorm was eroding its shield
@@Lgg130it started flaming as it entered the planet’s atmosphere, the friction from air resistance and small particles, yeah.
@@Lgg130 I like to think it was sand particles in the air getting burned because of the intense reflection of sunlight from the ship, and then those particles getting carried away by the wind, making it seem like a glowing fire trail.
What you opened with is a big part of it, part two is so satisfying and makes 1 even better because it allows you to accept it as the layout for 2
It was SOOO good and absolutely right the actors in this just,,, chef’s kiss man
Its a certified banger. We would need 10 films to cover just this book in full, and that isn't reasonable. The stuff they cut from the book, I actually agree with. A lot of was just a lot repeating dialogue and meetings. I think Denis did a really good job at picking and choosing what to adapt, what to change, and what to leave out.
Agreed though an official explanation as to why a particular ending was changed would help. I’m talking about the true abomination and the Baron attempting to kidnap her.
@@unanimousartsyeah i’m wondering where they’re going with her after seeing what they changed in this one
One book? Or the series?
@@unanimousarts The 'abomination' happens in later books. The first two movies only cover the first book. A third movie will cover the events of Dune Messiah.
@@unanimousarts Unless you are referring to her not already being born in the movie, when she was in the book, then yes I would agree. I was looking forward to seeing that character.
just finished watching in IMAX couple hours ago
this movie was insane, i was so invested in the movie that I didn't even realize 2 hours 40 minutes had passed by
the cinematography, the music, the acting
timothee chalamet really nailed it in this movie, especially when he giving the whole speech in front of the whole fremen
Had chills that scene. Absolutely amazing
Paul:"A guy your mothers hyped tf out,i am HIM"
It was such a drag. I left at the 2 hour mark, and it felt like 3 hours. I don't get how anybody likes this over Part One.
S I L E N C E ! ! ! 😭@@suprith5443
@@diesal_oneMust really suck to have such a low attention span.
My favorite part is when Paul stands in front of the Harkonnen army and say "Its duning time"
I completely agree with Charlie about how every actor in these films is putting in their best work. I truly think that essentially every actor in Dune is putting in a career defining magnum opus of a performance. Everyone is just so believable, the emotion is so raw, and most of all, so much of the masterful acting in these movies is done through simple expression and body language, the true window into the soul of a character. Dune will come to rival LOTR as the best book-to-film adaptation, and for me (the biggest star wars fan I've ever met) it is the finest science fiction story to be put on screen.
i got goosebumps in the desert scene (worm was involved yk). it really felt like i was there, and it was beautiful. definitely worth the theater visit
Ah yes, the desert scene with worms. That one.
@@jcalle2 just one worm 🪱
@@jcalle2if You've seen the movie, you know
THE BIG ONE@@UncleJemima
Good to know that im not in the minority with how much that scene stood out to me
6:40 for the moist meter ranking 👌
ur the goat i was looking for this

Rewatching Part 1 after seeing Part 2 is so satisfying!
this movie is genuinely amazing
When Charlie says that the movie is good, it’s gotta be good
My farts are better than Charlie’s farts.

NO WAY, I JUST MET CHARLIE ON MY CZcams! 100% REAL! (OMG HE JUST CAME TO MY HOUSE AT 3 AM!)😱💯
Been waiting for this dune part 2 was fucking amazing it couldn’t have been a better movie Timothys performancewas fucking fantastic it shook me when he was giving his speech. The worm ride made me feel like i was on the worm itself the amount of work they put into this movie was insane my heart dropped through out the movie stilgar was one of the best parts of the movie everytime he got exited about the “madhib” it was so funny and so wholesome the relationship they build through out the movie was like a brotherhood never seen before definitely my top movie of the year maybe of all time.
Boring ass movie
chronic yapping
Kids and taste...
Damn bro got attack by 3 alpha gen kiddo or bot 😂😂
Bro, learn to use punctuation.
the fakeout at the end. i legit couldnt agree more man. all i could think about was how incredible the acting was. just pure raw fucking emotion man. like the end of teh movie with timmy and zendaya?? legit shook me to my core
With all of the great actors showcasing their talents, I have to say that Austin Butler set the stage for me. He was so into his character & you can sense he wanted the viewer to feel the menacing aura and his passion for pain. Superb performance from all.
I feel like the Dune Trilogy will be the next original Star Wars trilogy in terms of impact.
Trilogy? They have material for like 8 movies and many sude stories
@@stalka4515 i'm pretty sure Denis Villeneuve said it will be a trilogy, that could change though
@@stalka4515 yeah, but you foist some kind of fish creature who likes to be in the room of orgies on a huge screen…
@@zSion he is writing Messiah right now.
@@stalka4515True but after Messiah, books get really weird and tricky to adapt, id love that tho. Also, once Paul story is over i feel most non readers will lose interest.
I remember coming out of the theater when Dune 1 came out and being so hyped up i couldnt believe i had to wait a coulple of years for 2 expecting a delivery so good but damn this film did so much honor to part 1, i was blown away by every fucking part, this universe and characters have sooo much potential and i always believed in Denis, hes one of the great filmmakers of today, specially after Bladerunner 2049, hes 100% invested in his work, his research, the legacy of this stories
Agreed this is the first time I've paid attention to Dune as a series I was looking for something to do while waiting for someone and the run time of Dune killed time perfectly almost being 3hrs and now I can't get it out of my head. I need to know more.
"looking forward to Part Three to see how it wraps this story up"
To quote Frank Herbert:
Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'
...in all seriousness though, of the original 6 Dune novels (side-note: I once made the mistake of starting to read some of the 30 prequels/sequels posing as canon by Brian Herbert. Never again),
Dune Messiah is the one sequel that might as well be literally glued on the back of the first novel, because not only is it about a third of the length of Dune, it also feels like an epilogue, and it's pretty well known that Frank Herbert's main role for that novel was to drop a bucket of ice water on people who read the first one and didn't realize that they were supposed to be conflicted rather than cheering for Paul by the end of it, and then repeatedly slaps them in the face to make sure they get it (and it's great! I can't wait to see what Villeneuve will make of that, since it is apparently his favorite and he basically already pulled some of it ahead into Part Two lol).
As a massive Dune fan, I find all 6 novels incredibly interesting and surprisingly distinct reads, each of them challenging the reader in a slightly different way; but the cool thing is, that any one of them can work as an ending for the series...while always leaving some obvious potential for the rest open to your imagination, or for reads of the remaining sequels!
Most people peace out when they get to the 4th novel and realize they're reading an invincible worm-man's ramblings about humanity, but IMO that's when shit gets real fun in Dune.
I really hope these movies end up covering all the original 6 books.
@@PBart7
We're definitely getting Messiah by Villeneuve (honestly a lot of the aspects of how he handled Part Two feel like they were done with Messiah as the endgoal in mind LOL), but he is very adamant about not rushing it (he is not committing to production until the script is perfected) and possibly taking a break and doing some other unrelated film before returning to Arrakis with a refreshed state, as well as letting the actors age a bit and gather other experience (since the story does take place over a decade after the jihad in the novel). So we'd get Messiah probably in like 2027 earliest.
I think novels 4 and 5+6 could benefit from being HBO miniseries rather than movies.
And honestly, they could even be made out of order with how large the time gaps are between those stories. It's a shame that the upcoming "Dune Prophecy" series that we have barely any info on, seems to be some kind of prequel; because if the point is to focus on the Bene Geserit, it could as well have been a Heretics/Chapterhouse adaptation lol
The books are stellar. Rabban just dies somewhere in the fighting in the book. The Baron goes out VERY differently by a character we havent technically met yet. They did a good job of condensing everything in my opinion as a life long fan of the source.
I dont get why people are upset about Rabban, he was a thug and he died exactly like he should have
@@rondomaneMy personal complaint comes from the perspective of Gurney fearfully telling Paul that the Harkonnens are brutal. Rabban was quite terrifying in the first film and in the first half of the second film. I just have a hard time believing that Rabban could be killed so easily. So, am I to think that he was just a big headed coward that had no combat experience and could be killed off easily?
@@unanimousarts no but he was no match for gurney halleck one of the greatest fighters in the Dune universe. Imo it makes sense rabban got absolutely clapped, especially with the vengeance mindset gurney had. Rabban was also never much more than the barons errand boy in the book, and his death is just mentioned as a one sentence sidenote.
@@unanimousarts Rabban was an intimidating bully, when he has power over something he is incredibly brutal. Against deadly and skilled fighters that do not fear him, he doesn't know what to do. Just look at the scene where he seems genuinely terrified by the Fremen when he flees, and still nearly gets killed by one as he flees.
@@romanbloomfield9066Yea, believe me, I get it. It’s just that this particular scene is so incredibly short, it borderline begs the question as to why it should occupy the space of a fast cut. Rabban is a talented fighter (maybe not in the context of the movie). He is certainly not the best but open to protecting his life by all means. He knows how to fight and despite him running away in situations depicted as cowardly, he still decides to take on Gurney rather than fleeing. Maybe he could have dispatched his guards to attack Gurney first before his final demise if we think that Rabban was incapable of throwing a couple of missed swings, punches, or what have you. Anything to make the scene just a bit longer. I could’ve blinked and missed the scene.
I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by dune part 2. Part 1 was great for me, I was invested and really excited to see the second one in theaters.
The visuals were incredible in the first and even better in the second, especially the black and white scenes. It was beautiful and gruesome and just really artfully executed. And one thing that I feel was missed by a lot of people was how well they used silence. A lot of movies have scores for almost every scene, where dune only used music sparingly and it was so powerful. The silence works really well with the whole theme about the desert being something to fear (along with worms being attracted to sound).
I love these types of talks with moist
The visuals, the writing, the acting, and most of all the SOUNDTRACK… it’s a modern masterpiece that I can’t wait to rewatch in the future
Start was slow but the end was amazing
Timothy’s acting has gone to a new level
The battle scenes were incredible. I wish there was more mind control.
Perhaps the din of battle makes it hard to use the voice?
Thats the best film i have ever watched. Greig Fraser you are the best cinematographer of all time and the music was beautiful. I cant wait for 3
Dune is definitely on track to be the 2020’s - 30’s generational Star Wars or Lord of The Rings
dune part 2 was SO much more tuned in with the comedy too, the levity is perfect. stilgar had me laughing out loud multiple times
Im really glad and excited to see this big resurgence in popularity dune is having. Im even more glad that the movies arent trash like everything else that comes out these days. You can really tell everyone put as much passion and effort into these movies as they possibly could
The black-and-white gladiator scene was actually filmed in infrared, that's why it has such an eerie feel to it.
An absolute masterpiece. Don;t ever say this, nor do I go to the theater much anymore, however I will be seeing this again.
Part 2 was so incredible. Legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time. What a fantastic story.
I swear, if I hear “Lisan-al-Gaib” one more damn time, im gonna snap lmao
