Need Part Two ASAP!

If there is one thing to overly praise more about this movie is the fact that somehow, someway, Hans Zimmer made bagpipes sound like an essential piece of desert music.

She's right, Paul's visions are basically a "decision based game." Paul can navigate between different possible futures by the choices he makes.

“He’s literally about to become a gangster, dude… and he doesn’t want it.” THAT is the entire tragedy of Dune that even some fans who have read the book don’t understand. Amazing that y’all were able to catch this vibe while watching the film, a combo of great filmmaking and an audience that’s invested and paying attention, much thanks 🙏🏻

You joke about people from the 1930s, but the man who wrote this masterpiece of a novel, Frank Herbert, was born in 1920. He started writing Dune in 1959, so think about THAT for a moment. All of this was imagined by a man who had never seen any of our fancy technology. He was a true visionary.

For not being familiar with the world of Dune, you guys were picking up a lot, this kinda proves that Denis did a good job of making the story accessible to audiences. One plot point was hit right on and I’m not going to spoil it. Btw, I would love to see your reactions to what Spice actually is.

I've watched so many Dune reactions because I'm obsessed, and you three are by the smartest, sensitive-to-story watchers I've seen watch Dune. You all three picked up SO many things other people missed.

In the book, Yueh’s betrayal makes wayyyyy more sense. He already knows his wife is dead, so his plot for revenge isn’t necessarily to join her but to straight up kill the Baron at all costs. He never trusted the Baron in the book, the contrary to what the movie suggests. He also dies telling the Baron something like “you think you have won, you do not know” in reference to Leto’s tooth thing but also because he made sure House Atreides would live on through Paul by helping them escape

10:14 I love how you can tell if someone is watching dune with a good sound setup or not 24:29 This woman is books ahead of everyone holy shit

There's one thing I really love about the scene between the Duke and the Baron. In a room full of the Baron's men, he has the Duke naked and immobile in front of him and he's still scared enough to activate his shield before getting any closer to him.

"The Star Wars we should've gotten." So true it hurts.

The desert mouse was such an important scene actually. Paul names himself after it later; Muad'Dib. The director is a genuis.

One of the scariest things about this movie to me is that that sand liquefaction effect is REAL. If you vibrate sand at the right frequency, it becomes fluid and you can "swim" (or sink) in it. I have seen that harvester attack scene half a dozen times now and every time it gives me terror chills. Also, in defense of Dr. Yueh, in the book his reasoning is that if he's not the one to betray Leto, someone else would be, and then Yueh wouldn't be able to guarantee Paul and Jessica's safety.

Bro, ya girl was so spot-on with her predictions and details I cracked up multiple times. She’s sharp as fuck.

It didn't just inspire star wars, it inspired most of modern Sci Fi. Just like LOTR was for fantasy, Dune was the granddaddy that everyone takes a little piece of.

@13:15, the Bene Gesserit are raised with total obedience to the Sisterhoos in mind. They are not given true love or affection. Leto chose Jessica to be his concubine and fell in love with her. Bene Gesserit women are highly valued as the wives of noblemen. However, because Leto was such an honorable and loving dude, Jessica fell in love with him too. Her having a son for Leto was her greatest gift and a betrayal to the sisterhood.

Sheera was predicting plot points accurately so much you woulda thought she's the actual Kwisatz Hadirach

I saw Dune in IMAX and when they used The Voice it literally shakes your body, it was awesome lol

The shields deflect anything that moves faster than a predetermined velocity. This makes the use of firearms essentially useless and resulted in hand to hand combat becoming the most effective way to fight. Lasers are also dangerous to use against shields because the collision results in a nuclear explosion.

I don't think she realizes that she basically predicted the next 5 novels with that single sentence at 22:24

"Crip walking across the Desert" LMAO! As a long time fan of the book it was awesome seeing you guys pick up on so much stuff.

I feel bad for Lady Jessica. Paul's resentful to her because he thinks she's using him for the prophecy. The Reverend Mother hates her for the same reason, added onto the fact that she broke their code. But the truth is, and this isn't explicitly stated in the film, she wanted to give The Duke a son because she knew he wanted one. It was an act of love.

And, as always, Sheera knows what's going on. Paul's prescience is more that he can see all possible futures simultaneously. His actions then shape the future visions.

Dune, the novel, inspired EVERYTHING. From Star Wars to Warhammer 40K. Denis did the unthinkable by adapting it and turning into a modern cult piece.

One thing they don't really touch on in the movie is why him being a male is significant. Basically the Bene Gesserit have the ability to access the memories of their past ancestors. However, because women have XX chromosomes they aren't able to access the male half of their genetic memory without going insane. A male who unlocks their ability would theoretically be able to access both sides as they have XY chromosomes, and the organization's entire purpose has basically become to create this "chosen one" via eugenics.

paul has to die for the kwisatz haidirach to awaken but remember, “when you kill someone, you kill yourself.” technically, the old paul did die. also, yes his visions can be changed by people changing their minds. if jamis hadn’t chosen to challenge him, they would’ve become friends.

"This dude's literally Jaba... ...Ahhh, I see...." LMAO!!!

This reaction proves that you don't have to be an old school Dunatic to totally get the essence of Dune from this film. It leaves out tons of exposition about the lore, the institutions, etc., but it gets across everything you need through brilliant cinematic storytelling. I predict that in the near future, many lessons in the principle of 'Show, Don't Tell' will focus on Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune. You all picked up so much on your first viewing, without any real Dune primer, it's a testament to how smart Denis's approach to the material was. He gives the viewer everything they need to follow where the story is going, while preserving the sense of wonder and mystery. Cannot wait for Part Two.

The girl in this video pretty much called the entire story of Dune. That's seriously very impressive, given how little of the story has actually been told so far.

The fact that you guys knew nothing about the story or world of Dune and was still able to pick up on some tiny details is insane.

This is why I’m subbed to this channel. You three actually pay attention to stuff and don’t just make excessive jokes every second like other channels. You three are actually smart

"I don't know why I'm gettin evil vibes from Paul" oh boy.... if only you knew the raw extent of it....

This reaction was equally brilliant and hilarious. “Mom you did do the swipe thing, right? With the foot?” 😂

I just realised when the Reverent Mother used the voice on Paul, he didn't actually get pulled to her quickly, the editing was showing him sink into darkness like a loss of consciousness, and the next time he regained it was when he kneeled at her feet. It's like how Jessica blanked out for a moment when Paul used it on her before she snapped out of it and gave him the water.

The Kris knife is the inspiration for the lightsaber. They are worth a fortune in that universe and can pierce almost anything. You never need to sharpen or maintain it, the blood you feed it makes it stronger and your own electric field made by your nervous system keeps it sharp. However, you MUST keep it on your person or it will slowly start to disintegrate and within a week it will be dust.

Shira literally out here being muaddib predicting shit.

Guy in the middle was consistently 100% on the plot. Rare to see that for a 1st time movie watcher.

I think the dream with Zendaya’s character killing Paul is referring to how the old him dies when he kills the guy who challenged him. She’s the one who handed him the blade he foresaw, the same blade he used to kill the guy and therefore himself. So she killed him.

The young lady is spot on - the visions Paul see are different outcomes when Paul makes a choice. The vision of Jamis (the guy that Paul fought) was one future where he and Jamis became close friends. But Paul disarmed him thus humiliating him so Jamis called him out to fight the duel. You guys intuitions about the movie is excellent.

Just came here after seeing part 2 and I gotta say I can't wait to see your guys reaction to it

Of the 50+ video reactions to Dune, yours is bar none the most insightful take on the movie.. which is extremely impressive given that y'all have not read the novels. I am especially impressed that your lady friend picked up on perhaps THE key message in Paul's ability to "see" the future. His visions are only possibilities, which may or may not be actualized based on Paul's decisions and actions. You guys should be in the honors program of Dune curriculum )) Oh, and the gangsta reference about Paul's reluctance to be "The One" is genius. Let's all hope the second part do justice to all y'all's interpretation.

It’s pretty safe to say I’ve watched almost every single Dune reaction video and this is the best. The editing? On point. The jokes? Y’all got em. All the relevant points? 100% understood. Amazing work y’all can’t wait for part 2 to come out.

Sheera must secretly be Kwisatz Haderach because her future sight is literally insane 22:23

If you recall in the vision, he told Paul he'd show him the way of the desert. And he did. Afterward, Paul was accepted by the Fremen, and he "knows their ways". I love this film and your reaction!

In the books (and in the movie) the worms send out a vibration that makes the sand liquify and they literally swim through it. They appear to be moving at least 30-50 mph while submerged. You CANNOT outrun that on foot on sand! hehe Glad you guys enjoyed this quality shizz.

The Sheeragan is too powerful Reaching Muad'ib levels

One thing I noticed about the visions after seeing the movie a few times. The vibrant, clear, true-color visions are the path that is unchangeable and will come to be. The hazy, orange-tinged visions are more metaphorical. They are not visions of what is to become, rather they and provide Paul with guidance and wisdom. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to make sense.

This is a whole hour of pure serotonin, seeing ppl fresh to dune be blown away and totally captured by the story. Man it makes me so proud to see the best sci fi story finally get a worthy adaptation

so I dunno if it's ever explained in the movie, but the Voice is supposed to be a way of hitting the exact right pitch/tone that someone will obey on instinct, without conscious thought. I always thought that explanation was pretty neat And one thing that the movie left out, that really should've been kept in, is Paul and the Fremen's reaction to Jamis's death. Paul weeps over it, because it's his first kill, and the Fremen are astonished by him "shedding moisture for the dead" because they just don't do that. Water is too precious for them to waste.

The editing is so ON POINT LMFAOOO the sound bites and "arizona" showing up over the city had me rolling man. Y'all are the best

"Carole Baskin put the hit on Pop Smoke" lmao y'all better be paying the editor well

The best reaction I've ever seen on KZfaq. Your comments were funny, insightful and clever. You three understood the movie because you engaged with it, you were invested in it. But you were also entertaining, without being obnoxious like some other reactors.

i see the views on this constantly go up since part 2 released so i wanna say im like 100% sure they're going to react to part 2 too if anyones wondering

Didn’t expect a reaction for this if I’m being totally honest

I've seen a few Dune reactions now, and you guys are the ones that picked up on the most stuff, by far! It makes me really happy to see that the movie manages to convey subtle messages even to those who are unfamiliar with the source material, if they are willing to actually pay attention. Props to Denis Villeneuve on that!

You three are the smartest reactors I've seen yet. You picked up on so much stuff. Probably fifteen reactors I've watched and none of them but you three figured out how his visions work, where it's multiple possible futures, some of them much worse than others.

just re-watched still one of the best reactions to dune pt. 1, can't wait to see you guys react to part 2 when its available

A bit of important background: The Dune universe is set in our Humanity's incredibly distant future, in the aftermath of a massive galactic war against Artificial Intelligence that nearly destroyed the species called 'The Butlerian Jihad'. In the aftermath of this, all AI and any computer powerful enough to produce AI was strictly forbidden, requiring specialized human beings to take the place of these computers. Most crucial was the Spacing Guild, whose Navigators use extremely high doses of spice to replace navigation computers and plot complex faster-than-light jumps. While FTL travel is technically possible without a Navigator, it's more than likely to result in destruction or being irreconcilably lost.

She's an intuitive one. The remark on their offspring being important is on the nose.

From a long time book reader, you guys really nailed a lot of the more ambiguous concepts of Dune. Really enjoyed watching your reactions and hearing your thoughts.

10:16 was such a perfect reaction to when Gaius Helen Mohiam did the voice on Paul and the looks on their faces when they hear that bass was priceless LOL.

36:48 I like how Paul's Voice even made the Dune watermark gtfo, mad props to the editor for that one.

here after watching part 2. cant wait for the teams reaction. lisan al gaib, it is written

I watched the film with my dad over the weekend, first time for him and second for me, and I this time I noticed the brilliance of the stairs fight in the assault on the city. The Atreides soldiers just wreak the Harkonnen soldiers with no trouble, then the Sardukar wreak the Atreides soldiers just as easily. This was a perfect way to showcase how good the Sardukar are to highlight how much better the Fremen are when they wreak the Sardukar later.

Y'all, Sheera totally just called a major twist in the book/next few books that isn't even revealed in part one. Well done.

Also for the visions, it’s speculated that if Paul’s mom wasn’t with him, Jamis would have been his friend and that vision would’ve come true

A good story inspires speculation, debate and a great conversation. Y’all really had a good time with this.

Crip walking thru the desert is insane.

LMAO 15:30 "can you imagine going outside and just trying to eat a sandwich? your shit is clapped bro, sand sandwich" such good content

19:03 That moment of realization where you ignored Dune, but loved Star Wars all your life and then saw this movie...

The primary influence for the fighting style you see in the movie is Kali/Arnis/Escrima, a Filipino fighting style that integrates sticks, blades, and hands into a complete system. Its a legit combat system with 100s of years of real life experience.

The subs for the opening "Carol Baskin put the hit out on Pop Smoke" fucked me up. I was cackling for five minutes 😂😂😂

The Sheeragan is off the charts in this one. Wildest prediction I've ever seen!

it has been SO LONG since i ever got immersed into a movie...its just all recycled content....this is one of the rare movies that made me focus on the movie, no phone distraction, no multitask on my ps5, i was watching the movie 100%

I'm over here feening for their Dune Part 2 reaction. They might just watch it in theaters, I can't blame em.

you guys have understood the plot quicker and with more depth than any other react channel. such a treat to see people take their first steps on Arrakis

I loved y’all’s enthusiasm! You three were picking up on shit so quick. Guy in the middle got all of the political scheming, guy on the right saw all of the film technical shit (and the jabba realization was great). Girl on left wasn’t speaking much at the beginning so I thought she wasn’t into it at first, and then she just straight up started predicting book 3 and 4 plot points and I was like Damn OKaY!

foreshadowing 13:25, 22:20, 37:15 . Damn, throughout the reaction Sheera had some great insights.

You guys are some of the best reactors I've seen. You caught on what Dune was about very quickly compared to many I've seen :) And you're right, the Baron Harkonnen is the 'Jabba' of Dune. It is not unfair for me to say since Star Wars took a lot of ideas from this book.

54:30 They did explain a lot well. Unfortunately they couldn't get to everything and had to cut out stuff about important world building elements. Like the Mentats (aka the dudes who kept rolling their eyes back in their head and blinking strangely). The characters Thufir Hawat (Stephen McKinley Henderson) and Piter De'Vries (David Dastmalchian) were Mentats, people trained to be living super computers. Thousands of years before the story, humanity had advanced super computers and artificial intelligence to manage almost all of the tasks of civilization. The computers guided ships through foldspace, stored data, made calculations, and even served as doctors and medical staff. Humanity realized it was becoming too weak and too dependent on it's machines, so it rose up and destroyed them all in the Butlerian Jihad. After they purged super computers and AI from civilization, humans quickly realized they had to develop their own skills to compensate. That's how all of the schools of 'super humans' in this civilization came about: The navigators of the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats. Even Dr. Yueh (Chang Chen) was a Suk Doctor, a highly trained and conditioned doctor to replace the AI doctors they had used. Also the 'year 10191' card you see in the beginning, is supposed to be AG calendar (After Guild). The actual year of the 'Dune' universe is closer to 26,000 A.D./C.E.

In a way, Jamis did teach Paul something about the ways of the Fremen through their duel. Sheera was right when she said that Paul saw a different path/future.

Part 2 dope as fuck.

This trio has nice complementary energy and team sense of humor

I recall the old woman asking him if he often dream things that happen just as he dreamed them. His response was not exactly. I kind of like how that plays into the different amount of possibilities to keep an audience engaged.

I think the dreams aren't literal visions, they have a hidden meaning. Jamis was telling him he will teach him the way of the desert. On the duel against Jamis, Paul is taught one of the desert ways which is no yielding, no mercy. Making Paul take his first life, leaving his old self and becoming Kwisatz Haderach.

Paul makes his first kill with a bullfighting manoeuvre, a callack to the courage of his grandfather, who he wasnt sure he'd be able to emulate. Little detail that is rarely picked up on 😊

That was a fantastic reaction. You zeroed straight in on the essence of the story and straight up predicted some stuff that was going to happen later in the book and the book series. Nailed it incredibly well for people who knew next to nothing about the story going in.

I LOVE your reaction to this. As a long time fan of Dune, I love the movie myself. But I also am very invested in how new people are drawn to this modern interpretation. Not only it is heartwarming to see how much you enjoyed this, its also really awesome how the director provided key elements that you as complete newcomers would think and ask some of the best kinds of questions about the material. I'll try not the spoil anything, but your take on his visions, his role as a "hero", and so many other tropes was phenomenal. It speaks to you own perspective, the director, and to Frank Herbert (the author). Fucking Awesome.

15:20 That Arizona shit had me dead 💀

Paul's combat style at the >start< of the story is already :"best in known universe" level, though untested - combat blade studies with Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck, full Atriedes military training, and Bene Gesserit Weirding fighting style with his mom, plus Thufir Hawat has been teaching him the Mentat ways on the side. Paul is DANGEROUS before he ever meets the Fremen!

Y'all are gonna love Dune 2

The pre-duel vision is more of a "kill the boy, become the man" vision. He can't become the Kwisatz Haderach (the male chosen one) without killing who he was, Paul Atreides, the boy.

I was not expecting this, It's gonna be so good!!

Need that Dune 2 reaction asap

50:27 me watching the reaction to prepare for part 2 in 4hrs🙏🙌

I think y’all are the only reaction group that caught Paul might turn into the Dark Lord of the Universe. “Might…”

What I like about you guys, is that even though ya talk and joke around, you still pay attention and pick up the important stuff. ya are smart too. cus even me, quiet in the theater trying to pay attention, didn't pick up half the things you did lol it was later explained to me by my dad who read the books, but anyway you guys rock

I would love to watch part 2 with these guys....the second time obviously, I'd throw my popcorn at anyone who speaks the first time through

This is my favorite reaction to this movie. It's amazing how you guys we're able pick up so much of the story, but also appreciate the absolute perfection of the visuals of this movie. All of that while cracking some really funny jokes here and there. You're appreciation looks so genuine it's really nice to see people invested in the story. I am absolutely thrilled that we all probably witnessed the birth of a legendary Trilogy. A friend of mine said that this movie was like if the Original Star Wars trilogy and the Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy had a baby. The scope and lore of Star Wars but the maturity, the darker tone and the pratical more realistic aesthetic of the Dark Knight's

It's amazing to see, not only how much you enjoyed the movie, but just how damn much you guys caught. Book adaptations are always iffy, and Dune has been called many times "impossible to film". Stuff always gets left out in adaptation, complex themes always get missed in retelling. But holy hell, you guys. You didn't just catch things, but you theorized, and interpreted, and analyzed stuff that *nobody* gets the first time. It's a dense, psychedelic story, and I'm *so* glad it resonated with y'all.
