02:24: "There's so much world-building going on. I'll try to remember all of it." Dune has long been considered "unfilmable" for this very reason. SF Debris, in his reviews of "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," expounds on his idea of the difference between "complex" and "complicated." A thing is "complex" when it contains things that seem simple, but have many facets to them. A thing is "complicated" when it has a lot simple things that are piled one atop the other. Take laying out a five-by-five spread of playing cards, turning each card over for five seconds then turning it back face down, then naming a card and you have to point to which face-down card that is. That's complicated, a lot of information being thrown at you all at once. By contrast, a hand of poker is complex. "Dune" is both complex and complicated. Lots of things that seem simple -- a galactic Empire, noble houses, supporting structures in the Bene Gesserit, Spacing Guild, and CHOAM company -- but have multiple layers, and lots of these seemingly simple things all interacting in ways that are difficult to grasp and nearly impossible to predict. It's very difficult to get the necessary information out to the audience who hasn't read the book so they can follow the story. Which makes it SO admirable that Denis Villeneuve managed to do it. Some things are missing or simplified, but not much, everything the audience needs to know is here. It's kind of miraculous.

He sees Chani, he sees them kiss, he sees her kill him. Paul see's Jamis and him as friends, "I will teach you the ways of the desert", he sees Jamis kill him but ultimately, he kills Jamis.

If there's a fairly quick turnaround on Dune Part Two home release, she could see Part Two on her channel before the end of the year and read the entire first book. I imagine the theaters will try to milk the film for all its worth as long as possible, since there's really nothing else coming out this year that will really make a lot of money for them. Deadpool 3 might do decent for a few weeks, but it's R-rated so has a limited audience even if it's good enough to overcome superhero fatigue. Same with the new Guy Ritchie film. There's just no PG-13 blockbusters this year outside of Dune Part Two. Maybe something will be a surprise hit later in the year like Godzilla Minus One was last year, but the theaters are really hurting and Hollywood is doing them absolutely no favors. They're going to want to keep Dune Part Two in theaters as long as possible, so a home release could be pushed way back.

It's gonna be EVEN MORE incredible.

@davidanderson1639 3 ай бұрын

Dune is an absolute must see in IMAX!! I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do some work with IMAX & the 1.90:1 format is not the true / classic IMAX format. The aspect ratio of true IMAX is 1.43:1, nearly square in format, which is unique and differs from standard cinema formats. This shape and size enable directors to use the space creatively and in a way that cannot be replicated in a regular theatre or home viewing context. It also allows films shot in the IMAX format to be displayed with significantly higher resolution than standard projection systems. True IMAX theatres have a distinctive screen that extends to the edges of your peripheral vision, creating an immersive experience unlike any other. The seating arrangement is steep to ensure that all viewers have an unobstructed view of the screen. These screens can reach a size of up to 72 feet high and 98 feet wide, which is almost like watching a film on the side of a seven-story building. The classic or ‘True IMAX’ also uses a 70mm film format, the largest in practical use. With IMAX format, each frame is 15 perforations wide, and the area of the frame is about 52mm high by 70mm wide - almost 9 times larger than the conventional 35mm frame used in traditional movie theaters. This full frame IMAX format produces images up to 18k resolution, far superior to the images seen in most digital cinemas. On the other hand, Digital IMAX, or what some have taken to calling ‘Fake IMAX,’ was introduced as a more cost-effective alternative to the traditional 70mm projection system. These theatres use two 2K resolution digital projectors with proprietary IMAX post-production techniques to enhance the image quality. The screens are smaller, typically 28 feet high and 58 feet wide, which is much smaller than a True IMAX screen but still larger than a standard theatre screen. The aspect ratio of Digital IMAX is 1.90:1, which, while it offers more height than standard theatres, does not quite match up to the traditional IMAX ratio. Digital IMAX systems also utilize a different sound system and can offer a great auditory experience but fall short of True IMAX’s patented sound technology which delivers laser-aligned digital sound. Digital IMAX theatres were introduced primarily due to the lower installation and operation costs compared to True IMAX. They can fit into traditional multiplex theatres without major structural modifications, making them an attractive option for many theatre owners. While they don’t deliver the same level of immersion as True IMAX, they still provide a superior viewing experience compared to regular screens, making it a ‘better than standard’ option for many viewers. Here in the UK we have only three ‘True IMAX’ screens with the correct 1.43:1 format; those being The National Media Museum in Bradford (interestingly the first IMAX location in the UK when it opened in the 1980s), The Printworks in Manchester & finally The Science Museum in London. Even the British Film Institute doesn’t run the true IMAX format screen!!

@@davidanderson1639 I'm well aware of the difference between the purpose-built classic & retrofitted multiplex designed IMAX screens.

However, it would've been neat to watch both movies in the larger 1.43:1 "True IMAX" format, if only the Regal Mall of Georgia (the only IMAX screen in the ENTIRE state of Georgia, USA that still projects 15/70mm for Christopher Nolan movies) was equipped with the dual-laser IMAX projection system.

When Stilgar says "I recognize you" he means he sees the signs he's their prophesied messiah. Also remember those signs were planted by the Bene Gesserit. One of the themes is the nature of prophecy crossed with political manipulation.

I just also love the combat and the shield system in this universe. The reason why you see people using swords and knives as opposed to laser guns is because these shields block fast moving objects. They let slow moving objects through because that's how air moves through the shield for breathing, otherwise they would suffocate, but people found out blades were now effective in warfare again. I love how Dune gives a reason for the hand to hand combat in the future. The dart used to paralyze Leto had to slowly drill through too!

This is an awesome movie. I feel like it does a great job of conveying how large and complex its universe is by showing you some of the technology or giving you bits and pieces of lore without explaining them in depth, leaving you wondering about them. I also love Josh Brolin's intonation when he's talking to Paul about the Harkonnens, "They're not human, they're _brutal_ ." Just started reading the first novel a couple of days ago and can't wait to explore this universe.

I saw this in theaters when it first came out and it was epic! The cinematography is amazing and that score! Wow. What I like about this, in comparison to the movies that came before, is that Paul is treated less like their superior (among his household) and more like a respected kid brother or nephew. You can see that especially in his interactions with Duncan Idaho. The pacing for this movie was on pointe and the world building is amazing. Great reaction, Addie. I'm looking forward to Part II in a month.

There was a version of this movie in 1984 directed by David Lynch (I believe it was the first Dune movie made) and had Sting as one of the villains (I won't give out the name of his character) but the editing was a bit rushed in my opinion so it left many people confused. The second version came out as a miniseries on the SciFi channel in 2000, the story was more spread out so it gave viewers a better overview of the overall story but it seemed like they didnt have the budget this show deserved for the visuals.This miniseries had a young James MacAvoy starring. The version you just saw starring Timothee Chalamet and Stellan Skarsgard is the best in my opinion. You can see they have the budget and were able to give a good comprehension to the average viewers to grasp what's going on. I can't wait to see the second part of this movie that's coming to theaters real soon.

@paulsander5433 3 ай бұрын

SciFi also had a sequel miniseries from Children of Dune that was memorable. I preferred the Dune miniseries to the David Lynch production, partly because the miniseries could deliver more of the story, but also because David Lynch is kind of out there. Think "Twin Peaks on Tatooine" but with a rock band score. All of these would be worth a watch after seeing Part 2.

Part 2 blows almost any movie made in the last two decades out of the water. Honestly so very worth watching in the theater.

There are six books by Frank Herbert. I highly recommend reading them when you can. Frank Herbert was the Tolkien of science fiction. This movie covers approximately the first half of the first book, and the second movie covers the remaining half of the book (and from what I've heard, a tiny bit of book two, or at least the second film makes it obvious where the second book is headed). After you've seen the second movie, it will be safe to read the first book in its entirety, and if you want to wait on the others, Denis Villeneuve does plan to cover the second book (which is much shorter than the first) in a third film. That should be the end of the film franchise, so you could read the rest after that. I want to clarify a few things for you, because you may not have picked up on all the subtleties. The prophesy that the Fremen have was actually given to them by the Bene Gesserit. Paul and Jessica make a reference to this when they first arrive, and the Reverend Mother who tested Paul also mentions a way being prepared for the two of them on Arrakis. The Bene Gesserit have missionaries that go around manipulating religions on every world in the Imperium. They do this so they can exploit various cultures at some later point in time. The more dangerous the planet, generally the more extreme and fanatical the local religion is, because Bene Gesserit might get into a lot of trouble on such dangerous planets, and they will require very pliable and devoted locals to help them. This is a distinct concept from what the Bene Gesserit have been working towards with their careful crossing of bloodlines to try and breed the Kwisatz Haderach, which Jessica believes she has created in Paul. Rather than a religious belief, you can think of it more as a scientific experiment. In fact, there are no supernatural elements in the Dune universe. Everything you see that seems superhuman or supernatural is just the result of thousands of years of human evolution, partially directed by the Bene Gesserit, along with thousands of years of refinement to training techniques. The basic idea is, with each generation of humanity, there is greater and greater knowledge and understanding that is passed down, and people have figured out how to do things that seem impossible to people in our century. So the Bene Gesserit have hypothesized that they can breed a particular human whose mind is so strong that it can essentially see the future, by using heightened powers of observation and calculating probabilities. This is what Paul's prescience is. He is a sort of living computer, which combined with the influences of the hallucinogenic spice found on Arrakis, is turning into what seems like visions of possible futures. There has been several other candidates, as the Bene Gesserit have been getting closer and closer to achieving their goal. They intended for Jessica to have a daughter with Leto, and then that daughter was to be wedded to a character you haven't met yet from House Harkonnen. This would not only end the destructive feud between the two houses that was threatening to cause the extinction of one or both of these important bloodlines, but also bring about the Kwisatz Haderach a generation later as the son of Jessica's hypothetical daughter and the Harkonnen heir. But, out of love for Leto, Jessica chose to have a son with him instead, and give him a male heir that Leto wanted. The result was Paul, who is unexpected, and now seemingly lost and outside of the control of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, feared dead. The Bene Gesserit have many supernatural-seeming powers, and these all stem from having supreme control over their senses and bodies. In addition to being able to choose the sex of their babies in the womb, or carefully pitch their voices to be very persuasive, Bene Gesserit like Jessica are able to size up Shadout Mapes instantly just by looking at her in the way a Bene Gesserit does, detect the hidden blade, and Mapes' intentions being possibly hostile. That's why she focused immediately on Mapes and dismissed the others. In that conversation with Mapes, Jessica made use of her Bene Gesserit training in ancient languages to figure out a few things from Mapes' name and her manner of speech. Mapes took it as a fulfillment of a prophesy, which the Bene Gesserit had of course planted in Fremen culture, but any Bene Gesserit could have done the same, with a bit of guesswork and careful observation. Jessica actually very nearly blows it, when she's asked if she knows the meaning of the crysknife. Jessica begins to say "a maker of death". She doesn't know the significance, but she's trying to guess at the right words to avoid Mapes trying to kill her. If you look carefully at her lips when she speaks, she actually starts to mouth the words "of death" when Mapes interrupts her with a cry of religious ecstasy. What Mapes hears is "a Maker", meaning essentially the Fremen creator deity. They believe that the worms, which they call Shai-Hulud, are the physical embodiment of a monotheistic god that created the entire universe. Crysknives are carved from the teeth of sandworms, aka Shai-Hulud, aka "the Maker". This is the reason why crysknives are so sacred to the Fremen, and they do not casually show outsiders these blades. Mapes came to test Jessica, since rumors were already swirling that the Lisan al Gaib had arrived. If Jessica did not accidentally say the right thing, Mapes would have known Jessica was a false idol and tried to kill her. Now remember that Paul has been trained by his Bene Gesserit mother in Bene Gesserit skills. He's able to wear a stillsuit correctly, not because he's some magical chosen one, but because he has been watching those holographic encyclopedias featuring Fremen wearing stillsuits. He observed all of those recordings with a Bene Gesserit's heightened senses, saw how Fremen wore their stillsuits, and simply put one on the way he saw them do so, probably not even on a conscious level. He took in all the data, processed it in his living computer brain, and just wore the suit correctly. This, accidentally, impresses Dr. Kynes. Anyone trained by Bene Gesserit would be able to do the same, which is why the Bene Gesserit planted as part of the prophesy to the Fremen that the Lisan al Gaib would know their ways without being born to them. There was one very cool moment at the spice crawler scene when Paul is having his visions of the future. Gurney Halleck comes up behind him, and Paul says he recognizes his footsteps "old man". On its face it looks like just another callback to the fight training scene between the two characters at the start of the film, where Paul said he could tell it was Gurney coming because of his footsteps. That's the sort of thing a Bene Gesserit trained living computer mind like Paul is capable of. His heightened senses would know the difference between Gurney, and even somebody trying to pretend to be Gurney. But when Paul makes that call-back in the dessert, it's a double meaning. Paul actually isn't really talking to Gurney, but to the sandworm. Paul, in the midst of a prescient vision, recognizes the sandworm's "footsteps" as it moves through the sand nearby, either because Paul in the future will encounter that same sandworm again in some possible future, or just a general statement about how sandworms sound. It's not spelled out in the movie, but book readers know that Shai-Hulud is actually translated roughly as "the old man in the dessert". Sandworms are, essentially, "old men". You might compare this to classical depictions of the Christian God as being an old bearded man. Since sandworms are the physical manifestation of the Fremen deity, hearing a sandworm coming to destroy a sand crawler would be hearing an old man's footsteps. In whatever vision Paul is having in that moment, as Gurney comes to pull him back to the thopter, Paul is seeing himself as a Fremen in the future who knows sandworms as Shai-Hulud. Paul chooses that future at the end of this film.

So the idea that the Bene Gesserit sisterhood has "been at work" on Dune is kind of vague and the full story is way more interesting. Basically before instant spice-based space travel humanity had to get to places the old way through extremely long space travel. The ancient Bene Gesserit sisters acted as missionaries, going to human-inhabited planets and planting myths, prophecies, and religious ideas in the heads of the people who lived there. These stories and the themes of the myths are taught to all Bene Gesserit, so if they find themselves on a strange planet they will be able to recognize the signs and be able to easier interact with the locals based on whatever religion or myths they have. This is meant to help a Bene Gesserit sister survive, but Dune is a special case. Instead of designing the myths to help the sisterhood, the original missionaries who came to Dune, witnessing what an incredibly harsh and unforgiving place it is, went the exact opposite way. The sisters knew that it was the Fremen, not the sisterhood, that needed help, and designed a messiah myth, preparing the Fremen for a savior.

I’m so insanely excited for part 2, as a fan of the Dune books, especially the first one I can’t emphasize enough about how epic part 2 will be. Part 1 basically just sets the scene and lays a foundation for everything that’s coming and it’s going to be so good! I was skeptical when this was announced but after watching this, I know it’s going to do the book justice, just as this part has which is extremely hard to do. I can only hope that “a sleeper must awaken” quote is in the next one along with a certain scene involving a “ayahuasca” like element. I love Dune soo much and glad this is introducing more people to it, I can only hope Addie and others will now at least read the first book

"Bless the Maker and his water. Bless the coming and going of him. May his passage cleanse the world. May he keep the world for his people." As a HUGE fan of the entire Dune universe I love this movie and am very much looking forward to the next part. I initially got into it with the 1984 film adaptation as a kid which wasn't the greatest translation is still a very fun watch. And while I personally believe that the 2000 and 2003 mini-series from the Sci-Fi channel were more faithful adaptations of the source material there is no denying that this version is an incredibly stunning film and reasonably adapted. I definitely recommend taking a look at the books after part 2 because the world is SO much deeper and while they get pretty weird after book 2 and especially book 4 onward, they are classics.
