DUNE 2 ON PATREON NOW!! "SILENCE" www.patreon.com/SebScreen

So, in case no one else does it I’ll explain the shield. Basically it’s a kinetic shield similar to black panther, but a lot stronger. Anything, ANYTHING moving a certain speed doesn’t penetrate the shield, period. You have to move slowly, specifically the speed of air or slower to penetrate it. Hence the line,”the slow blade penetrates the shield.” In the books there was only one weapon that can break the shield, but the feedback loop it caused would detonate both the target and the gunner to explode with the force of a nuclear warhead. Essentially, the shield rendered all ranged weapons obsolete, hence the reliance on blades.

Just wanted to clear up some stuff... The emperor kicked the Harkonnerns from Arrakis (led by the fat guy, Baron Harkonnen), and then told the Atreides to come in and take control. It wasn't voluntary. The world of dune is set in a feudal empire where the emperor rules above the great houses (such as Atreides and Harkonnen). Besides, there's no guns because shields exist and they stop any bullets. Another thing is that there are two separate "prophecies". There's "the one" (full name Kwisatz Haderach, mentioned at the beginning with the test of the box), and there's the Lisan Al Gaib. The first one is a superbeing that will be able to see the future clearly, and the second one is a messiah that will lead the fremen to paradise. By coincidence, these 2 seem to line up with Paul.

The bene gesserit voices bloody slaps and the sadukar throat singing are bloody terrifying. The sound design in this movie is just chefs kiss

I was literally thinking yesterday how has Seb not started this series yet. ITS FINALLY HERE

The Bonsai tree was on Caladan (the home planet of House Atreides), not Arrakis. Caladan is rich in water.

The Atreides aren't stealing the Spice (at least not from the Harkonnens, from the Fremen yes, but that's not really the point here). The Emperor has commanded them to take over from the Harkonnens so that the Harkonnens will attack House Atreides, weakening both houses in the process. The Harkonnens got filthy rich mining the Spice and House Atreides got more and more influential in the Landsraad (a council of all the great houses) so both could get dangerous to the Emperor.

The Hunter Seeker didn't attack Paul because the room was poorly lit, and the suspensor field allowing it to fly causes distortions in the operators view. Paul moving into the hologram further distorted his shape, and the fact he didn't even flinch when it flew towards him caused the operator to think it wasn't a living being. The door opening was enough motion for the operator to see and lock onto, and likely assumed it was Paul returning to his room. Edit: I saw this in theaters, and I swear the Voice caused the walls to shake. The part in the still tent made me jump. Spitting on the table is a sign of respect because it's freely giving your body's water, and on a desert planet with absolutely no free standing water, water is 140% the most important resource. Eyes of Ibad, the indication of the body's saturation with the Spice, is actually supposed to be a total blue, with no differentiation between sclera and iris.

seb continually misunderstanding the politics made me laugh what a good video

dune is actually set roughly 24000 years into the future, the date is 10000 years after the butlerian jihad if i recall correctly

The people who do the eye roll thing are Mentats. Basically, they are human super computers. Due to events thousands of years before the movies, any sort of complex computer is strictly forbidden. Mentats replace them, and the Spacer Guild uses spice to replace navigational computers for space travel. That's also why they have a monopoly on travel. Also, blades are used because those shields stop fast things like bullets, rendering guns irrelevant.

"They don't have guns in the future?" Yes, but they're not used so much. Projectile weapons became redundant with the advent of shields, which stop anything so fast-moving. That's why knives and other blades are more prevalent. "The slow blade penetrates the shield". The dart that was shot at Duke Leto was a slow-moving projectile that could make it through the shield, but it only worked because Leto didn't see it coming, otherwise he would have had time to deflect it.

Seb incase you didn’t get this part, The emperor (who isn’t seen in this movie) ordered the harkonens to leave arrakis and let house atredies take over in their stead to fulfill spice production. In the process they sabotaged the atredies to make sure they don’t fulfill their duty so the emperor can use that as an excuse to execute them all using the harkonens who would be honored to kill every atredies since both houses are mortal enemies. But ofc the emperor’s army (the saurdukaar) helped them in the fight, he didn’t just let the harkonens fight on their own since house atredies have the best fighters in the emperium. The reason why the emperor betrayed the atredies this way is because he is jealous of duke leto (Oscar Isaac) because he is gaining respect and power from the great houses who also look to him for leadership. I hope this clears any confusion

Also, the sand vibrating and it making it like quicksand is a real thing called liquifaction. It’s a real scientific way to explain how the worm can move through sand like it’s water.

I think it’s so awesome that in the 10,000’s technology and warfare has gotten so advanced that humanity has been forced to go back to more basic things. Like getting rid of computers and going back to combat with swords because the shields can block gunfire

Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Sound (Editing, Mixing) Best Original Score Best Production Design Best Costume Design Best Cinematography Best Visual Effects.

18:47 I guess during your editing process you might've noticed it but just to make clear, the Atreides are actually good, they weren't there "stealing spice", they were sent there by the emperor, making the previous "owner" of the spice, the Harkonnens, to engage in battle withe the house Atreides. And they don't use guns cause the shield repels anything that is fast, that's why blades are the main weapon there.

FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER !

That scene with the reverend mother is my favorite. I loved the shift of power and her subtle fear when he stared her down.

Just some facts - this is a new adaptation of the 1965 Dune book, not a remake of the Lynch 1984 film. The directors name is pronounced De-nee Vill-noov. And he has done films of similar score and visuals like Blade Runner sequel Blade Runner 2049 and Sicario and Arrival and Prisoners.

I’ll die on the hill that this is the best world-building since Lord of the Rings. I’d be surprised if anything surpassed it for the next 20 years.

Laseguns exist in the Dune universe but if you hit someone wearing a shield (which basically everyone had) both people explode. And not just explode, it was the equivalent of setting off a nuke. For that reason laser weapons were almost never used because the risk was too great. This is why you see so much hand to hand combat. Something moving slow could penetrate a personal shield.

I watched this in theatres, I swear this is my generations equivalent of Star Wars (1977), masterpiece 👍

THERES NO WAY

I’m usually a big critic on a lot of things, but I truly believe this franchise if not screwed up, could go on to be the next biggest thing, whatever you may want to call it, the next Star Wars, whatever. This has so much promise

The shields block stuff on the basis of how fast it’s going. They’ve pretty much made guns obsolete.

My serious and legitimate thanks to all the Dune-nerds explaining the finers points of Dune lore. As always, you're the best, Seb.

5:09 - in Dune's lore, the "eyeroll" people are mentats, basically living computers who are trained to do complex analysis and calculations, because thousands of years ago, a robot uprising led to the banning of all complex AI. This is also the reason spice is so necessary for interstellar travel - the technology to replicate faster than light travel with machines not only is lost to history, it was considered dangerous enough to be destroyed.

People doing the eyerolls are the advisors and computers.

The Scene with Paul and "the box", and the "GOM JABBAR" at his neck held by the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam is an iconic scene, as well as a absolutely necessary plot point in Dune. The Bene Gesserits are 1 of 4 factions that are most important in the Dune world/s there are 1. The Bene Gesserit., 2. The Spacing Guild, 3. The houses of the Landstraad, and 4. The Emperor. The Reverend Mother is testing Paul for a possibilty of being the Kwisatz Haderach a super being that can see/travel through both space, and time. The box is a test of pain via nerve induction to see if Paul can use his human ability to overcome any pain, rather than be an animal, and do anything to escape/avoid pain. The Reverend Mother stopped only because Paul had already withstood more pain than ANY female...Therefore proving he is "HUMAN", and not an animal, which is why the Reverend Mother said "Goodbye YOUNG HUMAN", I hope you live"....PS. The director wanted for Timothy to show fear of the Reverend Mother in his face, and actions...the director said that Timothy was actually "in real life" afraid of the actress while playing her part in this scene...one because she is like a famous actress who is respected by everyone on set (Charlotte Rampling), plus her acting ability combined with her eyes, face, and that veil gave her an aura of power. The cast is phenomenal in this film!

Paul : **take a shit** Stilgar : LISAN AL GAIB

I can’t believe you haven’t seen this, part 2 is freaking amazing maybe of the best films and acting is soooo amazing

The 1984 movie isn’t the “original” they’re just both adaptations of the same 1965 book

Hell yesss!!!! Honestly I would love to see your reaction to Dune part 2, but you should also see it in Cinema! It’s 100% a movie you should see in IMAX 😍

The lore basically is that the shields will block anything that is moving a certain speed but will allow things that are moving slowly through (so you can still breath). The existence of shields basically negates guns and makes them useless. So warfare has gone back to melee weapons and fighting styles that involve a quick strike to get near the shield followed by slower movement to penetrate it and stab. The bombs that they were showing basically did the same thing. They fell fast but then they basically had some means of slowing down at the end to slowly go through the shield before exploding.

The films don't explain it, sadly, but here's the basic point from the book about guns: In this world, laser-guns exist, but there's kind of a snag to them. They don't fire out a single bolt of light like in 'Star Wars' or similar franchises, they fire a continuous beam from the gun barrel to the target. Now, the snag is that if the target happens to be wearing an active shield (which almost EVERYBODY is in this world), the laser causes a reaction when it hits the shield. The shield overloads and detonates, but that overload feeds back through the beam of light into the gun, and detonates it too. So basically, if you laser someone wearing a shield, you kill yourself and everyone around you in the process. This isn't a 'perhaps' thing, this is a guarantee. If you laser a shield, you die. As such, it's too much of a risk for anyone to really both with, so while laser weapons DO exist, nobody cares to use them since they can't be sure if their target is wearing a shield or not.

Finally, this series is so good!

I honestly think this has the potential to match the Lord of the Rings trilogy, these movies are insane, sooo excited for the third one. I just hope it doesn't get Disney'd like Star Wars. I think my only complaint with these movies is that it sometimes takes me out how there is never even a drop of blood to be seen even though they are slicing each other to pieces, I feel like we need an R rated Dune movie but then again, maybe that's to symbolise Arrakis, how there is so little liquid on the planet that there isn't even enough blood to bleed normally lol

Lol the weather and lack of trees is just that one planet arrakis 😂 Paul’s home planet at the start had a bunch of water and greenery

Funny you mention Harkonnens reminding you of Warhammer. Dune was a huge inspiration for a lot of franchises: Warhammer and Star Wars just to name a few

SILENCE

AAAAAAYO!!! I’m hella stoked for you to watch these films… few productions are ever made at this level…

HOLY SHOT IVEE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YK HES FINNA DO PART 2!! Thank you so much I’ve asked for this a few times. Cannot wait to see this

On Imax, the bass of the voice punches through your body, making it feel like you're being assaulted by the command, just like the character. It's why I saw both films 3 times. It is so amazing and well done! Just a freaking masterpiece of cinema.

I really wanted to see this film and now I can watch it with Seb thanks bro !!!

I love your shocked face on the thumbnail on all the videos 😂

So glad you’re finally getting to watch the dune movies! They were insane in imax!

16:53 crazy how accurate that comment was 😂

They werent stealing they were appointed there by the emperor and the harkonnens were taken out by the emperor because he was jealous of Atreides’ rise of power hence the sabotage executed by the emperor and the harkonnens

Great video as always Seb. I know you said Mamoa's fighting sequences were really good here you should see the ones in the show called See where he plays a blind warrior.

So, the Ornito-pter (Meaning Bird winged, opposed to our Helico-pter, Meaning Screw-winged) are described as having bird wings in the books.

A few notes though: 1. The reason they use swords is because pretty much everyone has body shields, which can block quick blows but if a projectile hits them then they detonate with the power of a nuke. 2. The Harkonens are definitely the bad guys here.

Seb, filming location for Arrakis is Wadi Rum in Jordan. It is one of the most amazing places I've visited. Loads of other movies have been filmed there. The Martian, Lawrence of Arabia, Rogue One. If you get the chance go. Jordan is a wonderful country,, the people, the food, plus Dead Sea, Red Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and Loads more ❤

I was literally searching for this yesterday since every single movie reaction KZfaqr had already seen it

In the cinema you could feel Hans Zimmer’s score in your rib cage, i watched it at home because it was COVID and next day went to see it in theaters with my sister because i needed to experience it in person. It was crazy. Dune 2 was similar, Zimmer is a genius

As someone who watched Part One in theaters and had to wait for Part Two, I'm so excited for you to watch Part Two

Can't wait for you to react to the second one. and even greater masterpiece! Denis is brilliant and the cast is absolutely amazing. Also, Stilgar is a tribe leader and Jamis is apart of his tribe. In the books Jamis is described as a hot head by Stilgar, especially because in the movie, Jamis kept trying to push Stilgar to kill them, when he's like "What are we waiting for? We need their water". In the books when this happened, Stilgar had to keep telling Jamis to shut up. Honor is a big thing among fremen in the books, and he felt dishonored being bested by Paul who was a foreigner and child at the times. Jamis challenged them to save face.

what a good surprise

Awesome reaction of my favorite superhero movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

the way the scale and environment is portrayed is absolutely incredible

Such an incredible movie. Saw it a dozen times before the second one came out, then saw Dune 2 twice in the theaters. Such incredible cinematography, sound design, and acting!

I done the same thing and never watched it until i saw the new one so i thought i'd give it a go and now these 2 are in my top 5 fav movies, amaizng work and reminded me alot of something christopher noal would create.

Omfg, YES! I’ve been hoping for him to watch this…so freaking stoked!!!😅

About the two guys who rolled their eyes in 2:49 and 5:00, they're called mentats. Essentially, they are human computers whose abilities to analyze information exceed any regular humans by a far margin. You might think their duties should be handled by actual computers but any form of AI is forbidden in the Dune universe. Long story short, they did develop an AI a while ago but it rebelled against humans. They suffered a bloody war against this AI, and while they managed to defeat it, any machine similar to humans has been banned ever since. Humanity focused on developing their minds to replace computers, hence the mentats, as well as Bene Gesserit with their Voice.

YOOOOOO FINALLY!!! Gonna wait for the part 2

I didn't really give it a chance when it came out, but I just watched them back to back and damn it's just a good series. Like high level filmmaking across the board

FINALLY I WAITED THIS MOMENT

Watch Godzilla Minus One!

1:06 IM DEAD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 call me by ur name reference 🤣🤣🤣

10:10 hunger seekers are attracted to movement (thus why Paul was being super still) and it rushed to his eye when it saw him blink (the tension of the scene being if he made the slightest movement he would die)

I swear I wanted to start this movie but waited until you posted your reaction to watch it with you

I've watched the 2 films in Imax. It's a great experience.

The shields show that weapons have advanced so much the these shields stop bullets fast moving objects so only slow moving objects can penetrate them, taking warfare back to hand to hand. I love the concept for the future . Part 2 is amazing as well!!

I gotta say your voice was ON POINT!!!

Maybe you didn’t really listen when they explained it, but the shields only stop things that are moving fast. That’s why soldiers rarely if ever use guns, the shield technology has rendered guns obsolete. Meanwhile, with hand to hand combat, you can slow down your hits so that they pass through the shield. The only place where guns are a thing is in the Arrakis desert because people don’t wear shields in worm territory (the shield’s vibrations attract worms)

Your not wrong. In the Cinema this film is incredible to watch. The sound and cinematics are brilliant.

That "get off me" scene was too good

I was watching your video yesterday and was hoping you would watch Dune!!!

seriusly one of the best 2 movies i´ve seen for at least 6 years for sure

The original film directed by David Lynch is very good. Maybe watch it after you have seen part 2. It has a unique style and effects are a little dated i suppose, but it has a certain charm. Cast are great, costumes are awesome.

Not only does the Spacing Guild use the spice for interstellar travel and the Bene Gesserit use it to enhance their skills, but anyone in the imperium who can afford it, which is only the wealthy because it's so expensive, uses it for the health benefits. Spice is also highly addictive, and withdrawal from it is very dangerous and often deadly. In the books almost everyone wears contact lenses to hide the blue eyes of their addiction. If spice production on Arrakis stops the resulting lack of spice would cause the imperium to collapse. Allthough it's a quote from David Lynch's Dune and not the book, "He who controls the spice controls the universe." is the general sentiment at the time this story takes place. One of the things the Kwisatz Haderach will do is show people a new way of looking at how the spice is controlled.

Amazing movie and great reaction

Very loud, many jump scares. Which is why I watched it a second time. One of my favorite cinema experiences, just amazing! Yes, they did shoot in the desert, in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Yay I was waiting until you were gonna watch dune cause I wanted you to watch the second one

Hey Seb you could watch: Maze Runner Death Cure, Land Of The Lost, Scouts guide trough zombie apocalyps, Journey to the center of the Earth (2008), Journey 2 The mysterious island, the new Dumb And Dumber, Ice Age 3, Flintstones (1994), Flintstones Viva rock vegas(2000), Gran Turismo, Gulliver's Travels, Pacific Rim 1 and 2, Little man, Super 8, Uncharted, The Tomorrow war, Sign (2002), Avatar 1, Avatar the way of water, Top Gun Maverick, The Croods 1,2, Twins (1988), The Mask (1994)

19:50 slow movements can get through the sheild but not quick movements which is why they use swords rather than guns

This guy makes the best reaction bro-

Truly a Cinematic masterpiece. The color grade, the score. Tron: legacy when?

How did you watch the movie and literally misunderstand every 5 mins of what you watched

i saw this in imax and it was genuinely the loudest movie experience I've ever had. to an almost overwhelming point for me lol. i actually wore ear plugs at dune 2 because of it

Yooo love ur vids! You gotta watch Back to the future

guns don't work anymore because of shields. Fast moving objects can't get through them unless it completely overwhelms the shield.

Awesome♥️do part two asap please 🔥♥️

Finally, a nice break from children's movies.

The rest of the ice age movies? We need it!❤

Fantastic Film. Great comments as always, nice football one on "the hand of god", haha! You will like Part 2 as well. Thanks from Sweden.

i havne’t seen this movie in a while but i liked it

FINALLY SEBBBBBB

Bruh they are ordered by the emperor to take over the spice production in Arrakis from the Hakonnens. Not stealing lmao

excited for the second one i loved the first but the second hit simehow even harder
