The anti gravity devices are such an awesome yet simple effect in this movie. The silent sardaukar ambush and now this.

1:23 gave me life. It was an immense privilege to watch this in the theaters.

I'm a scuba diver and the scene when the troopers take flight is so spot on it takes my breath away. The physics is perfect.

The reason why Harkonnen soldiers were ordered not to have shields is that laser hitting shields can create small nuclear explosions, which will be enough to kill the entire unit

This man remembers what so many directors have forgotten. Great cinematography. Too many modern directors seem to think if you fill the screen with colorful chaos you are creating art. Sometimes less is more. This movie succeeds because of the subtlety. The battles, even when they are massive, are always shot with a restraint that makes them much more genuine. I loved the final battle in Avengers Endgame, but that movie is pure escapism. My suspension of disbelief is turned up to 11 when I watch that kind of movie. In contrast to the Dune films which are an imersive experience. You walk out of the theatre feeling you visited a world hundreds of light years away, a few thousand years in the future.

Anyone else notice the Harkonnen helmets look like the compound eyes of insects?

That lasgun beams looks so sick...

i just realized the Fremen placed the thumper knowing the Harkonnen would react by using their suspensor suits to climb to the top of the rock escarpment, making them easy targets AND opening the distance between the Fremen and the Harkonnens.

This scene is very important because in the last film, the Harkonnen were eclipsed by the Sardaukar and were even comically cowardly, as when they fled from Duncan. They had to quickly establish the Harkonnen as a threat to be feared, and they accomplish this with their size, deadly weapons and professional, disciplined soldiers.

I catch something new every time I watch this movie. The Harkonen trooper giving the orders has a white stripe on his helmet, indicating his rank as the platoon leader. The attention to detail in this movie was incredible. They didn't have to do that, but they did.

1:40 the ants in my garbage can sensing the my great blessing upon them (leftover breadcrumbs)

The only film that I watched twice in IMAX, expensive as hell, but definitely worth it, this is cinema.

The fan on the back of his helmet might be my favourite movie detail of all time

If someone is asking how did Jessica mannaged to get there so quickly, is the Weirding Way, instead of wasting time training strength they train for speed, they become so fast that some people believe is a form of teleportation.

About the shields subject: Shields induce a frenzied state in worms, and a laser striking the shield triggers a nuclear explosion. This explosion occurs at the point of collision between the laser and the shield, either within the lasgun itself or in both versions simultaneously. A nuclear explosion on Arrakis has the potential to irreversibly alter the atmosphere, landscape, and significantly damage the ecosystem, spice mining could be impossible after such catastrophe. If my memory serves me right, Duncan Idaho was the only individual who deliberately fired a laser at the shield as a final resort.

The movement in the zero-g suits was a marvelous touch with the fx. The soldiers were propelled in part by their own bodies' movements and the energy tapered as if gravity was gently resisting propulsion. This was an immense improvement from Part 1 where the Harkonnen/Sardukar forces looked like they were lowered to the surface of the planet on wires.

Denis Villeneuve is amazing

First time seeing this in the theater, it was packed. This scene was so tense, and then the fight starts to engage and when the Harks used their anti-gravity devices to climb to the top of the rock -- it was such silky smooth sci-fi you could see people grinning in the theater. Fantastic opening scene.

I love the opening scene of this film. As soon as I was watching this I had a feeling this was going to be an otherwordly film. Just the visuals, the camera angles close to the ground looking above as if you're lying down with them, the sounds of the Harkonnen soldiers over the sand hill, the silence of the Fremen flanking around... And then my favourite part, "The rats are calling a worm. Unit, climb. Now!" Love it.

The Harkonnen soldiers look and sound like Grineer from Warframe. I love it Makes you wonder just how many sci-fi works are inspired by Dune

The Harkonnen design is so great. It's like Combine mixed with Grineer. It's also such a small detail, but I like that the Harkonnen who snipes the thumper waits until it's together again to shoot it.

This scene was amazing in capturing the bleakness of the deserts of Arrakis and the mechanised nature of the Harkonnen soldiers.

1:23 idk man, why does it look *sooo goooooood*

It’s undeniable that the shot at 1:23 is yet, simply put, cinema history.

Pt 2 looks even better than Pt 1. Definitely Cinema for this one.

"never stand with your back to the open." Jessic said, while standing with her back to the open

That thump at 2:39 was insanely loud in IMAX

“No shield!” If I remember it’s because the shield could accidentally explode like a nuke turning most of the area into glass

i watch this 4 times in cinema and still enjoying it

The Harkonnen soldiers look like Among Us characters.

Perfect example of an action scene that rides entirely on subtle and grounded camerawork, simple stunts, and little to NO noticable CG. This scene has so much weight to it becuase the imagery is so subtle but purposeful. I bet no one will ever forget that shot of the troops floating off the rock, becuase it's so simple and grounded yet visually striking.

1:24 WEEEEEEEEE!!!!

This is worthy only to be watched in IMAX. The soundtracks hit different there ❤❤❤. Anywhere else is inferior

At the beginning, it's as if the Harkonnen are 'swimming' up a vertical wall, as one would in an ocean. The Fremen later dream of a desert full of water. Elegant imagery

The eclipse lighting is so excellent no words can really describe it for me. I was so visually stunned by it

2:00 Imagine if the thumper was shielded.

i like to think that the harkonnens are really cheap, and that these bulky black suits are basically dollar tree stillsuits that work much less efficiently and maybe even require electricity to run.

The scene of those guys levitating, it is simple and magestic! We know what these guys can do, how lethal and rutheless they can be, and seeing them fly like that in silence was scary as hell.

1:21 this was such a beautiful sight while watching it in cinema

1:24 was really captivating for me on the big screen. It's not even that consequential of a moment, but visually it just looks so weird to see them floating up the side of the cliff like that. The black armor against the reddish tint of the sand and rock is so cool. The film is full of these kinds of moments. Honestly things like this often struck me more than major plot moments.

The sound design and mix in this scene is extraordinarily good.

What's really cool aboutbthe harkonnen troopers is that theyre based off the sardaukar from the david lynch dune. This is probably because dune part 2 is 10 times shorter chronologically compared to the book, meaning the sardaukar who were to return to the planet to police it in the second half of dune were now replaced by the harkonnens.

As soon as I can afford the rental I will watch this, looks amazing!😮

Harkonnen should join the ranks of Stormtroopers. They are as helplessly useless

Saw this movie in theaters not knowing much about it and I was fucking in right away..Best movie out of the sewer Hollywood has produced worth seeing in theaters in YEARS

DUNE รับชมระบบ IMAX ประทับใจมาก ❤🎉

1:23 so good in theaters.

Those laser rifles sound so fkin cool. The attention for details is incredible. For instance at 02:07 you can hear the rifle capacitor(s) loading and also see the status of the loading - those LED's lighting up. I love this movie and can't wait for the next one!

The incompetence of the Harkonnen-soldiers are frustrating. Kills the joy.

The attention to detail on this movie: The moon transiting past the sun as Jessica is standing in front of it. Wow!

2:33 Please, someone explain why the one soldier says "no shields" Some say it agitates the worms but that doesn't make sense when you are on top of a mountain

in IMAX this becomes a spiritual experience i now have the 4k to watch at home but cant watch it, feels like blasphemy to not watch this in cinema. I have an amazing home cinema but doesnt come close to IMAX experience. i was literally BLOWN AWAY!

Harkonnen armor looks like mass effect Krogen.

I like the ASMR of DIRTY water

I remember the movie not being so orange ! This scene was brighter and more day like

Best Picture of 2024

This comment section is like an npc convention.

The anti/gravity swarm float is next level evil.

They're draining the water from the bodies. There's something I'd never have thought of to be a thing.

What digital version of the movie is this?

Oh cool, an eight minute clip! Oh, half of it's a trailer.

Their look and sound remind me of the Uruk Hai

This was a major departure from the book. In the book, Jessica never physically fought anyone. An exception being with Gurney Halleck but that was a different kind of fight. But I think it is an important scene in the movie as it is another way to show she is dangerous.

Wonder if there were any competent Harkonnan commanders who could have or did figure out tactics to deal with the Fremen…or if it was just a lost cause.

Saw this last night. It is so good!

This whole scene was an absolute banger

One of the best miovies❤❤❤

I predict i shall watch this movie more than once.

Paul loves Chani, but she doesn’t return the same in this movie.

What I was waiting for also came ☺

How did mom get up that hill so fast? We'll never really know.

I thought the Harkonnens activated their shields ? So how did Paul stab his opponent so easily?

No shields in the desert. The worms HATE shields. It's a way to call every worm everywhere.

0:56 seconds sadly shows other planets must have been from Japans Edo samuri look at the outfit. I must be crazy to think then an alian world would be nothing like this.

How did his mother flank that soldier who had Paul dead in his sights , that quickly and how did she cover that much distance ? That aspect really bothered me when I saw DUNE 2.

She killed him with a stone. That was awesome...👌how ironic

As Gurney once told Paul " you fight when the necessity arises,"

imagine watching this inside the vegas sphere

As far as opening scenes go...This is a good one.

1:23…Astronauts will be doing this on the moon.

Shields make the worms go mad. The repulsion’s too I think, but fk it it’s cool

What I’m really curious about is why Paul was unarmed in the starting scene.

Very cool. So these Harkonnen don't speak English like the Baron, Feyd, Raban or Piter?

2:44 It's raining men hallelujah!

"May your blade focking break"

Why didn’t they use their shields? I don’t get… 😢

black suits are perfect for operating in a desert.

First time I've laid eyes on human ants. Incredible vision

PLOT HOLES. Anyone else wonder why everyone is fighting with swords instead of the guns like, the whole movie? Or why they didn’t take down those ships with guns, and instead had to make it all dramatic with chani and Paul?

Lady Jessica was ruthless.. but I always wonder how did she get up there so fast to kill that Harkonnen

That kit won’t stop a lasgun or a knife, but i still want arms and armor like that!!

2:23 Or not

how did that witch ended up their so fast? :D

What they taking from the bodies? Heart juice?

2:22 They were in fact not OK

Decemt opening scene When the highlight of the day is prayer You don't feel any better by it, but at least you don't feel worse You comment Dune-videos

I don't get from where and with what they shooted them. Fremen didnt have rifles.

Sadly the movie barely follows the movie. Worms are the best part.

This film really could not have been made at a better time, considering Russia and Ukraine right now.

One thing that bugged me about this scene, if you are on top of a giant rock mountain, why not activate the shields? Will the worm jump? It didn't make sence, even as last ditch effort activate it and nuke both you, the shooter and Paul hiding underneath you.
