Can you do a Wicked trailer reaction please??
I thought the first movie was amazing, dont get how people can say it was boring , the attention span of people today is the problem
There’s even a study for the music industry that says songs have generally been cut in half in the last years to be less than 3mn…
@@regis_redthat’s mainly because of streams. Lil Nas X publicly admitted he’s making shorter songs, so he gets more streams, i don’t think it’s an attention span problem.
I loved Dune as well, but to be honest, some scenes are too drawn out. Like that scene in the tent where both Paul and his mom are just staring at each other and crying for 5 minutes was kinda stupid and too long.
In the past few years there’s been so many movies that are unnecessarily long
To the guy above me, unecessarily long is due to faults of writing, not due to it being long. Kids these days don't have a attention span anymore. Also, Americans don't seem to go to the movies for a good story experience, but for a cheap thrill ride. To the point I would say, go to the amusement park.
I rewatched it the other week. Felt like only an hour as it’s so enthralling.
I saw Part 1 in IMAX. The massive screen, the enhanced audio quality, etc. made the movie experience almost euphoric. Can’t wait to see what part 2 brings, I’ll be seeing it Sunday ❤
To these movies in anything but 70mm Imax is a disservice to the film and the audience. It's an experience that can't be rivaled.
I know what the deal was with Dune Part 1. It was all about story building. Mostly, dialogue and plot development with sparse action. We saw this with Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 1. It was "slow" only because it was building up to the action-packed finale of Deathly Hallows Part 2.
I might be in whatever small minority of people who actually thinks Deathly Hallows Part 1 is not only better than Part 2, but the second-best Potter movie (right behind Prisoner of Azkaban). I think Part 1 is incredible and it's really one of the only Potter movies that FEELS dangerous. The tone is incredible - very ominous and dark. It's drenched with this genuine sense of doom that, in my opinion, none of the other movies have.
Its called exposition
@michaelambrosinofilm I only watched Deathly Hallows 1 once when it was new. I didn't like it. Felt it was boring. But, I was a lot younger then. I'll be rewatching it soon as I know that I'll feel differently now. I strongly agree that Prisoner of Azkaban is probably the best film of the franchise.
Except that absolutely nothing happens in Deathly Hallows part 1.
It was evident they milked it as much as they could.
Dune is not that.
@@Emanon...I'd say the Lord of the Rings is a better comparison. First movie was a great setup, but a bit slow, but now it's the first part of a masterpiece.
Sounds like something that must be seen in imax!
Indubitably
Im seeing it Sunday night in IMAX. The wait is killing me.
We have three different ratios where I live: 70mm, imax and regular. I’ll check them all out.
@@regis_red Thats awesome. Im seeing it in IMAX laser 1.9:1 by me but ill have to drive 4 hours one way to see it in 70mm IMAX.
@@regis_red Please come back here afterwards and give a report on which you think is best.
@@loganastrup6870 Wow 4 hours. Try to see if you can spot the differences between the two 🙂
@@vongoethe111 Sure!
FYI the original Book trilogy consists of Dune, DUNE:MESSIAH and CHILDREN OF DUNE then there’s a 3,500 year Jump until the 4th book
I can’t even imagine god emperor being translated to live action 😂.
Haha even dune Messiah would be tough. GREAT book. But it’s ALOT of inner monologues and political dialogue
Actually a 3500 year jump
I wonder how they will tackle a Children of Dune movie....
correct@@Ducc1x
Watching Dune part 1 at night here in the UK then straight into a midnight viewing of Part 2 so excited ❤
Whoa! That's commitment! Way to go.
That's a treat.
Never read a Dune book but always had a soft spot for the David Lynch version. Loved Dune part 1 never found it boring at all. Very excited for part 2. Tickets booked for opening day. Thanks for the heads up.
Damn this is very high praise. I had a similar experience watching the first one in IMAX where I at one point audibly went 'wauw'. Sounds like this one is even better to be honest, can't wait.
Everyone has been trying to adapt Dune, it’s complex , read first book as a young kid in the 80s. I loved 1984 Dune , but they didn’t have the tech or budget to do it right . We now have a director , with the vision , budget and of course is a student of Ridley Scott …the first movie was epic , what it needed to be. This will be like Blade Runner , a movie talked about in film history, as the greatest adaptation of maybe the most famous book. Not just SW, but Wheel of Tine so many took things from Dune , just happy to be here at a time to see it .
Ahhhhhh the 80s 😀😀😀
I didn't think it was weird or unique enough. They seem like they were lazy on the things like the guild navigator and the shields
It's so awesome that the most important fantasy trilogy (lord of the rings) and the most important scifi novel (dune) both have corresponding amazing movie adaptations now.
Dune by Villeneuve will be remembered for decades just like LotR by Peter Jackson is, and will hopefully influence Cinema as much if not more.
I watch a lot of different reviewers but you are definitley my favourite; tripped across you through a guest appearance on the John Campea Show. So glad I did.
One Dune book that will never be able to get filmed is God Emperor of Dune. Very much to escotaric.
I have just finished Messiah and about to start children. Is GE worth carrying on after the first trilogy?
@@Jimmy-oi4goYeah, God Emperor is crazy.
@@plo617Yeah, way too crazy, but just imagine cinematography of that movie
@@worlddd7777 Oh I'm totally down for a God Emperor movie. If Denis (or whoever takes over to make Children of Dune) doesn't want to do it, cast James McAvoy and continue the Sci-fi miniseries version..lol
The weight of your words mean a lot for this review and I can not wait to watch part 2. To even see you rave this much about a film was great. I already thought the first one was a sci-fi masterpiece and just know this will be quite the experience
I just saw it in IMAX. It truly is an experience that has to be seen in on the big screen. Like Kristian, there was also a point during the movie when I just said “wow”, this film is special.
I read the book for the first time in 1970, so I am VERY familiar with the novels. The problem with that is that it is too easy to fall into the trap of only paying attention to the differences instead of the "big picture". I fell into that trap when the first Lord Of The Rings movie came out, but after the closing credits of Return Of The King, I saw the whole breadth of Jackson's vision. Same deal here. I am so over the moon about this Dune movie(s), it is the novel of my childhood and to see it treated so reverentially just makes me grateful to D. Villeneuve.
Book 2 - Dune Messiah is reportedly in the works, should only take 1 movie.
I believe the reason why Dune worked so well, is that Villeneuve has so much pull now that he can tell the suits to take a hike, blow me.
Great to here. This was one of my favorite franchises when a child. Wish they did more.
Great job Kristen.
Ever since I saw Dune I wanted Denis Villeneuve to make a trilogy of Star Wars. Out of all ppl with a big name/talent that makes sense, it’s him.
This is my most-anticipated movie of the year and it's currently with almost 100% on RT, I'm sooooo watching it in IMAX on Mar 2nd. Thanks for the review!!!!
Excited (and relieved) to hear about Zendaya. I was nervous she would be just serviceable. Can’t wait!!
Denis VILLENUEVE just set back the Star Wars franchise by a decade and I’m so happy, competition breeds better things
I was so excited for this movie already, and then I see all the people I watch on here talk about how it lived up to the hype. I don't know if I have looked forward to a movie as much as this in a long time.
Just got out of an early premiere of part 2(here in Sweden), with part 1 playing before it. And like you said Kristian, it’s a six hour movie. A GLORIOUS SIX HOUR MOVIE!
For me, this is on par with Tolkiens LOTR. I pray to God there’s an extended version of this masterpiece somewhere, or a bunch of sequels coming down the line! Or BOTH!!!
Love this movie! Thanks for the review! 🇸🇪
I have my ticket for next Thursday. Dune was one of those series of books that stays with me always in my mind, so knowing that the guy who directed one of my most favorite movies of the last 10 years (Arrival) was in charge of bringing this to the screen, I was in from the beginning. I just hope there are more films to come in the Dune universe
I didnt even know id been subscribed but Im feeling this review, fair play Bro. As a proper Dunatic im absolutely wetting myself to see this movie. Thanks Bro.💯👊🏾
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been saying the same thing both parts of dune is the ONE STORY!!! It’s just the second half pays off & validates the world building.
Smashed like button at the one second mark. So hyped for this one.
Not being a big sci-fi fan I loved Frank Hebert's Dune and thought the first part wasn't elaborate enough! Of course I learnt to love that film in the past year and can't wait for part 2. What today's movie goers need is an appreciation course in cinema. Movies are not supposed to be fast and slow for the audiences' liking, it's pace should be appropriate for it's story. Denis Villeneuve is a master of all things cinema but his pacing is what makes him great.
Great to hear you get so excited about this. Can't wait, doesn't come out here until the middle of next month = /
Thanks sir
It drops next Wednesday in my country, got premire tickets IMAx, can't WAIT!
wow ! your thumbnail is welcoming, nice review and looking forward to Dune 2
Hey Kristian, does the fight between Chalamet and Butler last a few minutes or so, or is it very brief in the film?
I can’t wait. My most anticipated movie of the year. I will definitely see it twice. Once in Dolby and once in IMAX.
The best way to enjoy DUNE 2021 for a layman is by going to CZcams and watching the 7 minute Prologue of Lynch's DUNE. It does a good job explaining the universe you are entering.
Or if you have the time read the book it’s so good 😀
@@MaxxRemKing1 Agreed! But you know most people are not going to dedicate that much time to reading even if it's an audio book.
We're seeing it in IMAX this Sunday. I'm incredibly excited
Thumbnail says it all! Hyped for D2. Now I'm expecting this to join the list. When the sequel/part II of a franchise is "better" than the original.
For the spice!
Glad to see u back in action! I love your stuff.
Just saw dune 2. If anything, u under exaggerate. This was tremendous. Palpable feeling of beauty and it’s opposite. A true dive into archetypes of evil, masculine, feminine, u name it. I’m a fan of dune and loved the first but didn’t think it captured how I felt when I read the book. This did.
I’ve never had a movie do this to me. I would say it did for me in feeling and intellect what avatar did for me visually… and this film has some pretty amazing visuals as well!
I was all in after watching the first part. I’m a huge Dune fan, reading all the main Herbert books. I loved what was done with the material so far and all the hype is making me freak out. Doing the Dune double feature this Wednesday… I’m sure I’ll feel the same as you.
Good review. Thanks for no spoilers 👍🏾
I read the book once, ONCE! It's a very dense book.. 😆
I wonder if there's a chance of getting a look at the Guild in Part 2?
Going to go see this at the biggest Dolby screen I have access to and hopefully an IMAX screening after that. Can’t wait
Been following you for a long time, I haven’t seen you this taken by a movie. I’ll make sure I see it in imax. I loved the first one too.
Wasn't huge on the first movie but think a big portion of it had to do with watching it at home. Looking forward to Part 2
Can’t wait! I’ve got dune fever.
Hope this green lights messiah. I’m dying to see a guild navigator.
I love the movie. Just saw it last night. I like its maturity, its scope, the visuals. Denis Villaneuve, like Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves, is one of my favorite directors working today. Can't wait until the next one.
Didn't get to see part one in theater so I am so looking forward to this on the big screen and with theater sound, hoping we get it in Atmos.
I loved the first part, and watched it a handful of times. I'm sure I will love part two at least equally as much as the previous movie. Can't wait
Watch your review made so excited that March 1st feels like a month away.
Thanks Kristian!
I loved the first movie. I was expecting to feel the time but I didn’t at all. It was a visual feast. All the characters were very compelling. I felt like I was looking into a real place that could exist in our universe. I’m so excited for part 2.
I'm so excited to see this movie in Imax opening weekend. I think I'm gonna pull my wife into a rewatch of the first one before I go see it.
Thanks for the amazing review!
Kristen I love you and this channel so much and because you're asking for new subscribers I decided to unsubscribe just to subscribe again. I know it doesn't help at all but it felt good to do it again brother! Love UAP Tuesdays!!! WE'RE GETTING CLOSE!!!
Just saw it…. I also said WOW at the end. Incredible from start to finish. I love this movie so much and will be seeing it again and again.
I can’t wait to see it!!!!! I loved part one and Denis Villenueve is my favorite director working today!!!!! I’m a big fan of the book and I love Denis’s aesthetic with his adaptation, to me I think he nailed Frank Herbert’s story visually perfectly!!! This film is going to get so many Oscar nominations, and Denis better get nominated for best director! I know my life will be altered once I see this film.
I'm seeing it Sunday. Can't wait. I loved the first film, and i love the Dune Universe entirely. I don't think ive ever been this hyped before.
I watched Dune Pt 1 for the first time yesterday at 3am. My god it was so dang good!!! Everything about it to me was perfect. The story and world building was jaw dropping. The sound was epic and I couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait to watch Dune 2 in IMAX once tht Tax Refund hits my bank account.
What took you so long?
@@TheJakescott1515 idk just looked like it would be boring for some reason. But I had nothing to do and just said fuck it and went and watched it
LOVED the first movie. Plan to see the next at my local AMC Cinema.
So excited for this movie! I have tickets to see it on a huge imax screen in nyc 2 weeks after it opens but I might have see it sooner on a smaller screen. Loved the first movie and loved the book.
In my experience, when I speak with someone that found Dune (2021) boring, they almost always saw it outside of a large format theater experience i.e at home, on a plane, etc. Seeing that movie with the largest screen and the greatest sound is such a beast it is hard to feel anything other than awe. I saw it three times in IMAX when it was initially released and it was an experience that was hard to even describe. Saw it again a week or two ago on the re-release and was even more blown away. I have seen it countless times at home on my 4K blu-ray and although I do have a pretty stellar home theater setup, it undoubtedly loses a bit of the shock and awe of an IMAX screening. I took my sister to see the re-release and she was floored.
I've had my tickets for like 3 months can't wait. Seeing it in 2 weeks.
Have you done any retrospectives on what happened with that Star Wars meltdown a couple years ago. Long time fan. I wonder if you have any new perspective on it.
Is it fair to say they don’t make movie like this anymore? I can’t wait to see it. Keep up the great work Kristian !
Dude you have my hype level through the roof the 1st movie was movie of the year for me let’s go
I cant wait to see this movie ! Big up from france Harloff big fan !
Cant wait to see it. I will wait a week or so to make sure I can see it in IMAX (sold out where I live,)
A friend who watched it already said there was one scene that is very empire strikes back! Ohhh!! I cannot wait! 😭😭😭😭
Loved the first part, luckily got to see it again in IMax a couple of weeks ago. I think Kristian is probably correct to call them one single film, the way Lord of the Rings is. I can't wait to see the next chapter this weekend.
Thanks!
I'm crushed part 2 isn't getting a stereo conversion. The first film is breathtaking in 3D, like Villeneuve's other stereo film (2049).
I need to see them back to back in IMAX. Part 2 blew me away. It’s perfect.
Denis V has reinvented the SciFi film genre
Thanks, Kristian! Value your opinion as always.
Can we get a full Dune 2 spoiler review? Just came out of an early screening and need someone to talk about theories with!! Fantastic movie!
I see Watchmen graphic novel back there, you got my sub.
Booked my ticket for opening night on IMAX, I CANNOT WAIT🎉!!!!
I just watched a 40th anniversary showing on the David Lynch Dune, and its not too bad honestly. The issue is that the Harkonens are ridiculous compared to the rest of the story and that the last 40 minutes speed run the source material, but the first hour and a half is solid.
I will be reading the book after watching part 2. So hyped about this universe! Gimme all the dense politics, philosophy and religion 👌🏼
Can't wait to see it, but the marketing is biased! Men get a bucket to go home and "play with", women get no 8 inch sand worm to errrr, "admire" and errr "play with". Zaflertenflouse needs to fly in from Germany and get on it, the patent that is, for the 8 inch sand worm. His wife and millions of women around the world will remember/thank him for it.
I cannot wait to see this we are going to rewatch party 1 before we go
I purchased my ticket for next Saturday morning, and so far, I'm the only person in the auditorium for that showing...
hyped for this one
I’ve been waiting on your full review after your reaction
Hope you enjoyed it!
Going to a sold out showing this Sunday night. 🙂
As a long time Herbert fan, I liked the first one but found it a bit superficial as they left so many things out! Already have my ticket for this one. I plan to watch it in 70mm, IMAX and regular to see how different the experience is.
I love DUNE Part 1, too. And I am Stoked to see Part 2 - especially with more Zendaya! Denis' is a Genius.
Dune 1 was fantastic, amazing soundtrack , cinematics truely a epic sci film, with good actors and directing. I've been waiting for this movie for so long only a week away so happy man can't wait to see this on big screen. Then ultimate, I hope and pray they release a uncut edition epic like how LOTR did. Just sit and watch at home the full uncut movie epic probably be like 8-9 hours i bet.
The review has me so hyped to see it in imax as soon as possible!! I hope the film is huge so they keep making these movies. Id love to see them get into the god emperor stuff
can't wait to watch the movies curious will you Rocha and Reilly do a spoiler review?
Yes for Mon live show on March 3
Can't wait. Bought my IMAX tickets immediately after your 'out of the theater' review. You can trust a schmoe.
I thought the opposite. I thought that older version was just as weird as it needed to be. The newer version looks more Star Warsy and less weird. The guild navigator floating in the tank, the body shields, gaudy sets
Can remember the last time everyone got excited for a sci-fi movie like this.
Oh! I loved the first Dune movie, saw it in IMAX or Dolby AVX sooooo many times ❤ Happy to hear that Dune 2 sounds like hit ❤
My father got me to read Dune when I was 12 years old. LOVED IT! I went on to read every novel set in the Dune universe, including the ones written by Frank Herbert's son. So when the Lynch movie came out in 1984, I used my enthusiasm for Dune to convince several of my friends to go see the movie with me. I absolutely HATED it! And my friends didn't like it either, but their dislike wasn't as strong as mine, because they had never read any of the novels, and so didn't realize how much the Lynch movie distorted the story, and the world itself. P.S. The "gom jabbar" scene in the Lynch movie was absolute perfection. Other parts of the movie were OK, but those OK scenes, and the one phenomenal scene couldn't even come close to saving the Lynch movie as a whole.
Have my tickets for this Sunday. Can not wait to see the movie. I am a dune lore fan and enjoyed the first movie.
“Uh oh is he going to start talking like Elvis” 😂😭. Austin don’t break character till the DVD commentary is finished.
I'm seeing it on 2/25. Can't wait. I'm a ridiculous old Dune nerd and have read the book 8 times (the first time was last century.) Hate the Lynch version with the fury of a thousand suns. How dare a director be too lazy to not read the source material and then think they know better. LOVED Part 1. Really looking forward to Part 2. I completely trust Villeneuve and WB needs to greenlight Dune Messiah immediately.
I saw Dune 2 in Imax this morning at 3:15AM and it was awesome!!! Game Of Thrones meets Star Wars. It's everything I wished Star Wars had grown up to be, instead of a story stuck in its infancy and afraid to truly evolve.
Even having not seen the second dune movie yet, I've compared these two dune movies to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2. The first one is a bit of a slow burn, and then the second part is a massive climax. Some people would think that comparing the first dune to deathly hallows part 1 is an insult, but I personally think very highly of both movies. The thing about Harry Potter though, is that it had been going for years, and had a half dozen installments under its belt. The series had secured an audience so it wasn't a risk to expect such patience from them. Dune on the other hand was the first in a series, and it was very brave of them to not do anything cheap to keep your attention. But to trust you to stay attentive anyway.
For me nobody was better than Rebecca Ferguson. Menacing performance. After the water of life scene she stole every scene for me.
