There was seriously room for it, but I suspect Warner Bros was like "Nah we need more action hurry up, people aren't interested" little did they know, almost every single person I know who watched it wished the movie was at least an hour longer lmao.
You can really see the shame on Thufir’s face for the threat on Paul’s life. I like how Duncan tells how fierce the Fremen fighters are, later we see this when the few Fremen brewing coffee take out loads of Sardaukar while outnumbered.
"And they shall suck up the abundance of the seas, and the treasure hid in the sand." One of the things I love about Gurney is his poetic and philosophical nature. And I can't forget, the music when Duncan arrives is just so... patriotic, cheerful and valiant, just like the bagpipes of House Atreides. The French Horn is a perfect instrument for Duncan Idaho. And that hug with Paul makes me smile so damn much. I know if he was a real character, I'd want him by my side.
>And they shall sup at the abundance of the seas, and the treasure hid in the sand< Gurney quoting the Orange Catholic bible. The predominant religious practice of the era. What the non-book readers don't know is that Gurney Haleck is a religious zealot, it shows through a bit when he does the knife training with Paul on Calidan.
I love how hungry Leto sounds when he says "Desert power." when referring to the fighting Fremen. He still treats Stilgar with respect and sees his humanity, but there's something so monstrous how badly he wants to use a whole people as an army.
He is now owner of the planet, its his fiefdom, from his point of view, they are all now "his people". And sadly, for every leader, king, president, whatever, even humans are resources.
His hunger is justified. He knows he's been sent into a trap set by the Emperor/Harkonnens, and a fighting force of tens of thousands of Fremen who already hate the Harkonnen would be perfect to escape it. Leto was incorrect in thinking he had more time than he actually did to negotiate with the Fremen
Unfortunately the book introduces some of the coolest characters in fiction, Leto, Kynes, Halleck, Idaho, then takes a left turn and kills them all off early on. The first three Prequel books by Herbert's son are really good and deal more with those characters.
@@impersonal6650 the first 2 books are amazing, the 3rd to 6th are decent but become progressively more difficult to read as they get unbalanced. Multiple timejumps, new characters and endless philosophical conversations.
After Idaho is finishing taking about the fremen's fighting prowess, I can't help but imagine Leto saying "Desert Power!" Like a power ranger saying " it's Morphing time!"
I wish Denis Villeneuve had done shorts for Dune like he did for Blade Runner 2049, centered around Duncan’s mission to the Fremen. First one might be his briefing with the Duke before he sets out, second one from the Fremen’s perspective showing them observing and confronting him, and third showing his acceptance and living in Sietch Tabr.
Well from what I heard Denis actually wrote and maybe even shot a couple of scenes where Idaho made planetfall on Arrakis to find the Fremen. For personal interest I tried to dig more information about the Atreides Stealth Fighter, when we saw Duncan for the first time. I always wondered why they designed such a detailed ship for only one scene. Then I found out that Denis planned a scene where Duncan flew with his Stealth Fighter to Arrakis to establish contact with the Fremen. This scene is considered as a deleted scene. If Denis ever release an extended Version, your desire will be fullfilled.
That be too long. The book itself is very detailed on its known universe. Dennis can't just cramp every string of cotton into one whole movie. Its like fat piece of steak with the fattest fat cap in the middle and you gotta trimp it down
In another video about the spice inspection, you can see a comm-bead just below and behind Thufir's ear. Covering up the ear would just make it easier to hear the bead
So funny thing.. it IS NOT 10191 Anno Domini. It's 10191 **AG** (meaning After Guild). SO this is not 8,000 years in the future; our whole civilization was apparently almost wiped out, THEN the spacing Guild (I assume) fires up at AG 0, THEN 10,191 years more, and NOW we come to the events of Dune. All in all, maybe 20,000 years in the future That's a lot of time. Lol you could probably just squeeze all of Star Trek into that little bubble before our social collapse.

it's 10000 yrs of imperium...that means limited space travel, colonization, artificial intelligence, war with the machines all happens and then the history starts...
Leto’s thinking, “Spice isn’t the only thing Arrakis has to offer.” Duke Leto’s own legions were made up of Caladan’s finest, but he knew his son’s armies would consist of men from these sietches. House Harkonnen was blind to the true riches of these dunes. Unrealised *Desert Power.*
Yep. Duncan was raised by Duke Leto so he sees Paul as a younger brother. But I also love the fact that Duncan is the first person to bow to Paul as the new Duke Atreides.
Not just any Atreides. Duncan was supposed to be 'swordmaster of Ginaz', among the top fighters in the Atreides army (Gurney is the other one). So imagine you are Duke Leto hearing that one of his top fighters was nearly killed in a 1:1 fight by a random Fremen. Would you be thinking that Duncan had lost his touch, or that the Fremen are extremely dangerous fighters and you need to get their loyalty ASAP?
Duncan was a level 10 sword master of ginaz and was supposed to be one of the greatest fighters in the universe after he died the sardukar respected Duncan so much they look his body and down the line he came back as a gola

Duncan is so damn cool. I appreciate how Jason delivers his lines. You can hear the reverence he has. Like "these people are badasses y'all. They actually almost killed me"
If the sequels are able to do this movie justice I think we could see a trilogy that could be near the level of LotR which are currently, and have been my favorite movies since their release.
There was a lot from the book that was not carried into the movie. Like the origin of the Sardauker was a real mystery to the whole emperium with only rumours about where these incredible fighters came from. Paul only figures it out much later whereas in the movie they just go there upfront. I didn't mind though as I can only just wonder at how you would fit everything in that book into a movie or even multiple movies. It is simply too much, you just have to make the story work.
Every time I re-watch this movie I always notice new things. For example, at 0:08 I've just noticed how disappointed Thufir is with himself being unable to protect Paul from his encounter with the hunter seeker while Gurney parades about it. I love this movie.
The books are vastly more instricate and complex. The part 2 of the movie will only mirror the beginning of the story in the books, it will go on getting deeper and more complex by the page. And also more awesome by the page.
It is worthy to mention that Duncan Idaho was a Swordmaster of Ginaz, a student of an elite school of sword combat that rivaled or even surpased the Sardaukar. When he says someone is tough, you better believe it
I don’t understand how a Fremen tried to kill Duncan, but Duncan survived and befriended the Fremen after the fight, because later in the film when Paul fights a Fremen warrior and bests him, letting the warrior live isn’t an option as the Fremen don’t seem to understand mercy and think Paul is humiliating him, so how did Duncan do it?
jamis invoked the amtal rule (translates to being tested to destruction). the amtal rule probably wasn't invoked in the fight involving duncan (I cant remember from the book)
I would presume the Fremen sent one of their best. When he failed, rather than throwing good money after bad, so-to-speak, the Fremen investigated further and chose to talk, giving Duncan a chance to make his case.
I don’t know why but I really love this scene of them sitting at the council meeting talking about strategies. It gives the movie more contacts. Also I just hope that if this franchise continues they don’t mirror the book so much cause there’s some parts in that series that should not make it to the big screen. Y’all know what I’m talking about if you read the books 📚 🙄
I love how Jason Momoa plays these tough guys roles but still is a bro, I hate how dudes play the tough guy attitude and don't show any happiness or affection
Duncan Idaho. Same dude that killed sardaukar like they were helpless npcs got close to dying against one fremen. The emperor was joking when he said old men, women, and children of the fremen could fight.
Why do I feel that Thufir Hawat only cared truly about his professional carreer and reputation as a Mentat, and that being forced to stay there after the hunter seeker accident he just got more sloppy and bitter.
Duncan é uma dos treinadores do Paul, e a relação entre eles é mais ou menos como irmãos, com o Duncan servindo como uma figura de irmão mais velho para o Paul.
This looks great, and it seems like Villeneuve really cared. However, I don't remember Duncan living with the Fremen and reporting back on it. Was that in the book? (I read it a couple of times, a while ago.)
I think it was something closer to AI that was outlawed. AI was banned as a result of the Butlerian Jihad, which occurred 10,000 years before the events of the story. Plenty of time to come up with other types of computing processes. The chief commandment was: “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind.”
@@djamac360 It also depends on what planet you're on. Some planets kept to the ban more strictly than others. Ix flagrantly disobeyed the rules and produced AI and other machines for millennia.
We didn't need computers to invent helicopters or airplanes or rocket engines, just good mechanical engineering skills and a strong understanding of physics and math. In the 60's, NASA went to the moon using mostly slide rulers to do their calculations.
The first Dune novel is like Game of Thrones in space. Daenerys Targaryen: "Nothing is more powerful then a Dragon !" Paul Atreides; "Hold my Sandtrout."
When Gurney makes fun of Paul for catching the hunter seeker, you can see Thufir silent and ashamed knowing that he failed to secure the palace and put Paul's life at risk
Am I weird for wanting to see an entire movie about them discussing the logistics of spice harvesting, diplomacy with the Fremen, security risks with the Harkonnen as well as Duncan, Gurney, Paul, Thurfey and Leto being besties together?
I will say after part 2, this movie isn’t as great as some people say. But that is because it is suppose to set up what comes next. This movie needs to be 6+ hours to get the full feeling of it. I still love part 1 but part 2 just has so much to it.
I want the board meeting to go longer I’m just soo Intrigued what world they live in and their reactions to oversee their economy Just sci-fi politics No the starwars prequels didn’t scratch that itch they had Space knights, going from that to politics is a step down
Honestly would love a movie just on Duncan and his rise to being a sword master. Still new to the Dune stories and lore but if there is a book about it I would love to read it.
The problem with this movie is that it's too short. Major character have very little to almost no dialogue. The movie even has a random scene of a desert rat.
(SPOILERS FOR PART 2) The mouse is important later in the story because it becomes its name becomes apart of Paul’s new name when he lives with the fremen. Having it there foreshadows his life with the fremen, and everything that came with it
Every time I watch clips of this movie, I want to go play the new Dune... Sadly, the new Dune is not that great with its units and I'm disappointed... till I see another clip from the movie and the cycle repeats itself. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😥
OK, so I did a bit of top pof my head calculations on beat forces of ornithopter lift system. Dragonfly is the model. So that means, adjusting for size, and mass, a realistic frequency is 10,000 BPM. Assuming a carbon-fibre/hi tech metal compostite in hinges, and connector gears. The G forces load on dynamic components is well over 1000G. Approaching 5000G at tips. Ornithopter is not a variation on helicopter. In Earth's nature , the closest thing to an organic helicopter are seedleafs of some trees, who operate on principle of autorotation for dispersal. No bird, insect, or any animal on record made use of rotary airfoils. Bird wings operate on principle on mission adaptable airfoil, changing shape to control amount of lift, including stall when landing. But epicyclic beat pattern of insects is close to 400 million years. That is the model that ornithopter appears to use.
So not sure what you are saying here. It's not feasible? G loads don't tell you the stresses in the material fibres of the blades. You would need to know what peak stresses arise from such accelerations and then compare against ultimate strength of this material. And even you did the sums and if carbon-fibre is not feasible then you could assume that some additional progress has been made in material science. Graphene is order of magnitude stronger - and thats available now. What would be available in 10 thousand years time - when this is set? ... well, lets assume .....and accept that it's potentially plausible ... or suspend disbelief.
ALSO 1) different planet = different force of gravity (tho.. it *looks* similar to Earth, so mby next point) 2) potentially different space metals? Boom, I just completely validated all of Dune 😗
@@pangolin7570Actually Dune is 20,000 years in our future. But I totally agree with your point. Their material and metallurgical sciences by that point would probably blow our minds.

Now all we need is Messiah and one of the best trilogies ever created will be complete. Denis has a masterpiece on his hands.
Rereading the book at the moment. It was a secret at first that Liet and Kynes were the same person. Paul only realises after Kynes' death.
There was a lot from the book that was not carried into the movie. Like the origin of the Sardauker was a real mystery to the whole emperium with only rumours about where these incredible fighters came from. Paul only figures it out much later whereas in the movie they just go there upfront. I didn't mind though as I can only just wonder at how you would fit everything in that book into a movie or even multiple movies. It is simply too much, you just have to make the story work.
The "'thopter" animation was extraordinarily lifelike, I just feel it stopped rather abruptly
2:07-2:08 That's how I want to hug Jason Momoa. He must be a bear hugger.
Every time I re-watch this movie I always notice new things. For example, at 0:08 I've just noticed how disappointed Thufir is with himself being unable to protect Paul from his encounter with the hunter seeker while Gurney parades about it. I love this movie.
i just noticed this too
I absolutely love this movie soooo soooo looking forward to part 2 it also has me reading the books
The books are vastly more instricate and complex. The part 2 of the movie will only mirror the beginning of the story in the books, it will go on getting deeper and more complex by the page. And also more awesome by the page.
I was watching donuts 🍩 videos and when I saw duncan, I couldn't comprehend what dunkin donuts had to do with fremen initially.
The coffee must flow
Duncan calling him “my boy” and picking him up…that little moment tells you everything about their relationship.
It is worthy to mention that Duncan Idaho was a Swordmaster of Ginaz, a student of an elite school of sword combat that rivaled or even surpased the Sardaukar.
When he says someone is tough, you better believe it
Absolutely love how they portrayed the relationships between the characters - could have watched more of this.
AHHHH MA BOI
Pretty cool tbh, if only we have a video on money, logistics like how many people there were on the planet etc. I’d love to hear more of Duncan
“They fight like demons” so badass!
I don’t understand how a Fremen tried to kill Duncan, but Duncan survived and befriended the Fremen after the fight, because later in the film when Paul fights a Fremen warrior and bests him, letting the warrior live isn’t an option as the Fremen don’t seem to understand mercy and think Paul is humiliating him, so how did Duncan do it?
Granted he never said he spared the guy and maybe it was just a surprise attack and not a formal challenge.
jamis invoked the amtal rule (translates to being tested to destruction). the amtal rule probably wasn't invoked in the fight involving duncan (I cant remember from the book)
I have a theory. He killed the guy, but he killed him so well that the fremen were impressed, and they welcomed him
That fight was a challenge with set rules. Duncan was just attacked as a more military situation
I would presume the Fremen sent one of their best. When he failed, rather than throwing good money after bad, so-to-speak, the Fremen investigated further and chose to talk, giving Duncan a chance to make his case.
I don’t know why but I really love this scene of them sitting at the council meeting talking about strategies. It gives the movie more contacts. Also I just hope that if this franchise continues they don’t mirror the book so much cause there’s some parts in that series that should not make it to the big screen. Y’all know what I’m talking about if you read the books 📚 🙄
Duncan Idaho is hands down the best character in the whole book series/
no he is not , the best character is the one that become a worm
Amo a Gusanin-Kun, pero...Duncan lo merece todo... Él gusano no merece nada.
I need to reread it before I watch the whole movie, but these clips look great.
..i wish my meetings lasted 30 seconds and ended in a field trip.
Duncan's way too nice a guy, he's basically marked for death.
Many many many times
:) Check out the God Emperor book....
...also marked for a hell of a lot of life. :P Like the other said, check out the books....!
@@christopherturco3494 Yes, I am aware. Poor bastard.
because he lusted after lady jessica and she refused him.
Who notices the Atredies soldier in the meeting room and background after seeing Dune 2?
I do love the quick shot of the security guys. While everyone else is praising Paul, they do not find it funny in the slightest.
Duncan returns to see Paul so excited
i love Paul and Duncans realtionship, it was so cute 😭
I love how Jason Momoa plays these tough guys roles but still is a bro, I hate how dudes play the tough guy attitude and don't show any happiness or affection
Duncan Idaho. Same dude that killed sardaukar like they were helpless npcs got close to dying against one fremen. The emperor was joking when he said old men, women, and children of the fremen could fight.
All star cast. 💯
I want to go back in time and beg Frank Herbert not to kill Duncan.
They could make an entire movie about what Duncan does in this movie off-screen. I would watch that movie.
Wish we could have saw that Duncan v Fremen fight especially since we seen how he killed so many sardaukar
I wish to have seen that fight between Duncan and the Fighter, that would have been a sight
i love this fuckin movie
Damn i love this movie.
Anyone know what song plays when Duncan hugs Paul? Listened to the whole soundtrack and didnt hear it
Josh Brolin absolute legend I'd love to have a pint with him.
Why do I feel that Thufir Hawat only cared truly about his professional carreer and reputation as a Mentat, and that being forced to stay there after the hunter seeker accident he just got more sloppy and bitter.
You're not wrong. He did on the book, but he redeemed himself later on.
1:43 Are those CG dudes?
Mesmo que mal pergunte: Qual o parentesco de Paul e Duncan? Parece-me que ele tem mais afeto com Duncan do que com o duque.
Fue su entrenador
Entendo. Obrigada! ❤
Duncan é uma dos treinadores do Paul, e a relação entre eles é mais ou menos como irmãos, com o Duncan servindo como uma figura de irmão mais velho para o Paul.
I like that flying wings machine is better than helicopter. Sweet!
I wish we could have the house Atreides in power a bit longer the atmosphere of these scenes and the respect of the duke are just so refreshing
This looks great, and it seems like Villeneuve really cared. However, I don't remember Duncan living with the Fremen and reporting back on it. Was that in the book? (I read it a couple of times, a while ago.)
Yes he was
It’s in the books
How do they have all of these machines if computers are outlawed?
Only thinking machines are outlawed.
I think it was something closer to AI that was outlawed. AI was banned as a result of the Butlerian Jihad, which occurred 10,000 years before the events of the story. Plenty of time to come up with other types of computing processes. The chief commandment was: “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind.”
@@djamac360 It also depends on what planet you're on. Some planets kept to the ban more strictly than others. Ix flagrantly disobeyed the rules and produced AI and other machines for millennia.
We didn't need computers to invent helicopters or airplanes or rocket engines, just good mechanical engineering skills and a strong understanding of physics and math. In the 60's, NASA went to the moon using mostly slide rulers to do their calculations.
Don’t forget about the Mentats
The first Dune novel is like Game of Thrones in space.
Daenerys Targaryen: "Nothing is more powerful then a Dragon !"
Paul Atreides; "Hold my Sandtrout."
When Gurney makes fun of Paul for catching the hunter seeker, you can see Thufir silent and ashamed knowing that he failed to secure the palace and put Paul's life at risk
Am I weird for wanting to see an entire movie about them discussing the logistics of spice harvesting, diplomacy with the Fremen, security risks with the Harkonnen as well as Duncan, Gurney, Paul, Thurfey and Leto being besties together?
2:04
Me seeing my dog
Well, isn't muadib the name of a desert mouse?
I will say after part 2, this movie isn’t as great as some people say. But that is because it is suppose to set up what comes next. This movie needs to be 6+ hours to get the full feeling of it. I still love part 1 but part 2 just has so much to it.
It would be cool if Stilgar addressed Gurney and said "Call the flip... friendo"
DUNC-an Idaho!
Wait are there chairs levitating
Leto, the boy trolls death.
Idaho never does this.
I hope Jason Mamoa comes back for Messiah.
Interesting
I want the board meeting to go longer I’m just soo Intrigued what world they live in and their reactions to oversee their economy
Just sci-fi politics
No the starwars prequels didn’t scratch that itch they had Space knights, going from that to politics is a step down
Honestly would love a movie just on Duncan and his rise to being a sword master. Still new to the Dune stories and lore but if there is a book about it I would love to read it.
-How bad is it?
-Too bad.
The problem with this movie is that it's too short.
Major character have very little to almost no dialogue.
The movie even has a random scene of a desert rat.
(SPOILERS FOR PART 2) The mouse is important later in the story because it becomes its name becomes apart of Paul’s new name when he lives with the fremen. Having it there foreshadows his life with the fremen, and everything that came with it
Spice crack
why did those 3 not react in thee beginning 0:09
The intelligence operatives consider the hunter seeker dart a failure because they should have caught it before Paul had to deal with it.
DESERT POWER
Every time I watch clips of this movie, I want to go play the new Dune... Sadly, the new Dune is not that great with its units and I'm disappointed... till I see another clip from the movie and the cycle repeats itself. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😥
Play the old school games like Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune! They're amazing
@@_Cato_ agreed
0:55 why does Paul sound like Peter Parker
OK, so I did a bit of top pof my head calculations on beat forces of ornithopter lift system. Dragonfly is the model. So that means, adjusting for size, and mass, a realistic frequency is 10,000 BPM. Assuming a carbon-fibre/hi tech metal compostite in hinges, and connector gears. The G forces load on dynamic components is well over 1000G. Approaching 5000G at tips. Ornithopter is not a variation on helicopter. In Earth's nature , the closest thing to an organic helicopter are seedleafs of some trees, who operate on principle of autorotation for dispersal. No bird, insect, or any animal on record made use of rotary airfoils. Bird wings operate on principle on mission adaptable airfoil, changing shape to control amount of lift, including stall when landing. But epicyclic beat pattern of insects is close to 400 million years. That is the model that ornithopter appears to use.
They also have jet thrusts from the back, would help compensate for lift but I believe they act like vtols when manoeuvring in tight spaces
So not sure what you are saying here. It's not feasible? G loads don't tell you the stresses in the material fibres of the blades. You would need to know what peak stresses arise from such accelerations and then compare against ultimate strength of this material. And even you did the sums and if carbon-fibre is not feasible then you could assume that some additional progress has been made in material science. Graphene is order of magnitude stronger - and thats available now. What would be available in 10 thousand years time - when this is set? ... well, lets assume .....and accept that it's potentially plausible ... or suspend disbelief.
@@roddyu2812 Those could just be exhaust ports not jets.
ALSO
1) different planet = different force of gravity (tho.. it *looks* similar to Earth, so mby next point)
2) potentially different space metals? Boom, I just completely validated all of Dune 😗
@@pangolin7570Actually Dune is 20,000 years in our future.
But I totally agree with your point. Their material and metallurgical sciences by that point would probably blow our minds.
