I screamed that when I was under totality during the eclipse. Crazy thing thing is, when you are right under totality, it actually does go black and white like this, albeit its like at dusk, not bright like this. During totality, you're only getting infrared light.
@@hiraeth195 To the normal persons vision Giedi Prime's sun is literally black because it emits mostly infrared light, this is why Harkonnens are so pale, they lack normal sunlight. For viewing experience everything is made white, because it is filmed by infrared cameras. But in reality scene should be almost black, with just slightly faint red tint because Giedi Prime's sun emits, not much, red visible light. "But why prisoners cover their eyes when walking out?", I think it is to stress the dark hole they were put in prison. If slight red tint is so blinding to them, normal person cannot even start to imagine the darkness they were put in both physically and metaphorically. P.S. that is why Harkonnens walk in these absurd black space suits during the day on Arrakis, such harsh sun is toxic to them. Also, Harkonnens attacked Arrakis during night and then they did not wear these black spacesuits because they felt themselves comfortable in the night. "But Feyd-Rautha walked without suit during attack on sietch Tabr!", well he's psychotic and masochist, of course he did not wear any protection, he enjoyed the pain. It is harder to explain Baron and Rabban, but that is most likely a concession for visual experience.
It's a real horror. Herbert never really elaborated on Geidi Prime much, and the director has a vision here that is so terrifying, it's got OSCAR written all over it.
@@2kbk926 That's what I thought at first. But the artist who designed Geidi Prime said the inspiration was actually based on 'septic tank', because they interpret Harkonens as some kind of dirty animals / insects, like cockroaches or rats who deserve to live in such a thing. As weird as it sounds, it really does looks like septic tanks. Try google it.
Villenueve using infrared cameras to film this sequence was great. Very cool effect on the big screen for a environment scene like this. Sicario is the only other film I can think of that has used infrared cameras to film. Wish him luck with getting nominated.
@@charonsferryold The intrinsic love for violence we share, is certainly a part of mankind’s collective subconscious. A baser level of programming for more ancient days.
best thing in IMAX was when they were under the harvester. i could feel the mechanic sounds going through my body and move me in my seat. who needs 4dfx if the sound can move you lol
After so many years of watching Marvel movies breaking immersion with world building with obnoxious humor, it's so satisfying to actually watch a film that immerses its audience within its world and builds an absolutely incredible atmosphere.
Imagine a first date on Geidi Prime. "Hey, I really like you, your bald head and nearly obsidian eyes look amazing. Maybe this weekend we could go catch the gladiatorials of our glorious Na-Barron Feyd Rautha?" (Delivered as if your asking them out to coffee)
Other than specifying that they're bald - which is just natural for Harkonnens, apparently - and describing Feyd as "glorious" (which is already implied, all these people are nuts), that's likely word-for-word how it'd actually go.
01:49 Even their version of fireworks is completely opposite to ours. It's like massive raindrops filled with squid ink or gray waste hitting a window or a barrier. The Harkonnen oppression is like entire population of Giedi Prime being put in a giant petri dish
0:12 his entrance… it’s so subtle yet so effective to understand how disgusting and unsettling the Baron is; the lack of expression in his face, his lack of movement due to laziness and gluttony, the music, the transition to the light of the black sun… it’s the little details that makes you uneasy about his presence. So well done!
Also the fact that both men and women are bowing for him, eyes closed, dressed in very exposed clothes like slaves that genuinely fear him. The lack of importance he gives to them like they’re disposable, and the overall cult into his figure just shows how twisted and evil their planet and the harkonnens are
I love how their society revolves around a kind of sadistic opulence based wholly on domination--of both people and the natural world. The Harkonnens being the epitome of 'cruelty-for-cruelty's-sake' is perfectly represented in this film.
And the Black Sun - Black and White coloration definitely defines them to be culturally used to being just one form or another with no sense of nuance.
Feels like 40K and Riddick probably because that stuff was deeply inspired by Dune themselves. Riddick featured its own "weirding way" and the Furyans being its own equivalent to the Fremen. 40K... Well, God Emperor of an Imperium and fanatical legions crusading across the universe and all that jazz. I think Rick Priestley himself has cited God Emperor of Dune as the inspiration when he developed the setting of 40K.

@@srbrant5391 Not really though. Nobles are supposedly "chosen by God" to serve and thats why "it is their right", considering The Bible exists in the Dune universe and the Attredies and Harkonnen are both European based/inspired its likely they just mean Holy because he's their ruler. Also potential prophecy fulfiller at this point.
It stuck with me. I'll give it that. It looks so alien yet so real. So believable. It's hard to not think about. But the sandworm riding scene, all the action, the confrontation at the end, the ending fight and Paul sending them to "paradise" all easily top this in objective quality. This would just pure world building and it is breathtaking.
Geidi Prime was said to be an industrial wasteland, mixed with some features of ancient Rome, IIRC from the novel. This scene gives it a massive Warhammer 40K vibe, which is perfect for the Harkonnen homeworld.
It's because Geidi Prime orbits a K-Type Brown dwarf in a trinary star system. The light they get is high in infrared. Hence you get actual color and human skin tone in the shadows, and when in the star light you see black/white because it's infrared.
@JumboMceal it is if shot on film. This is IR film. Not CG. IR film exposes in B&W. It can be colorized but that takes computer help to map the images and light reflections to make a depth map then they can reconstruct. I agree it IS cinematic, but it IS IR film.
@JumboMceal I mean it would look like that if we were able to see in infrared, but yeah stars like that don't exist irl. that's why it's science fiction, not science fact.
0:38 the way the crowd moves is so creepy and unnerving, it makes you think they are almost forced to do this. It kind of reminds how in North Korea whenever the dictator dies they all have to cry as hard as they can, or else. On Giedi Prime, they have to go along with the chants and move like that, or else.
I get what you mean. The Harkonnen’s aesthetic, cruelness and conformity makes me think of a society that exists if Nazi Germany won the war. Harkonnens look the same, as if they achieved a “master race”.
In the books i am pretty sure it is said they love Their house cuz they dragged their planet in to wealth and power even if it was a cruel method. as the other guy said similar to the Nazis, they were insane but the germans accepted them cuz they gave Germany “rebirth”. The ends justify the means
When this scene happened in the book, the population was forced to attend the arena fight, but by the end of it they’re rushing the arena to lift Feyde up on their shoulders and parading him around like a hero. The Baron even remarks that he could walk around unshielded in the poorest districts of Harko and people would happily give him their last bit of food just to have him come into their homes
I doubt they’re forcing them to dance, seeing how the harkonen soldiers acted in the last movie I’m pretty sure the entire planet is just as sick as the harkonens themselves
This is the "Sardaukar throat singing" of the second movie. One of those super unique scenes that spawn their own fanbase. Villeneuve is taking Herbert's work to another level.
Both are phrases which, incidentally, were used by the Nazis. One alone might not be a coincidence but I think both back-to-back send a different message.
@@undefinedhuman7404 Funny, people haven't been calling me a Nazi on a regular basis regardless of what I do. I wonder what it is you're saying that makes people say that about you.
Even when the Harkonnens aren't fighting, their stomping, clapping, and chanting still sounds like they're marching towards battle. A testament to how militarized Harkonnen society is.
This is the Star Wars of this generation, and everyone who was fortunate to see this in IMAX (like my self) definitely knows how this scene felt. The horn in the shot where Feyd is revealed came like a jump scare!
People take star wars too seriously it's not the standard Star Wars is a cobbled mess of SciFi themes thrown together and hoping to work We deserved to have Dune from the beginning Star Wars is stupid no respect for it
That was phenomenal. It shows me that the Bene Gesserit robes aren't actually black but a dark color. And since the black sun sucks all the color out of anything, the robes turning white was a great visual
It's because Geidi Prime orbits a K-Type Brown dwarf in a trinary star system. The light they get is high in infrared, so that's why when in the dark hallways you can still see everyone still has pigment (even the Harpies skin tone), but when walking into the sunlight they get bathed in infrared light, changing the visible color tone.
Many other scifi films have similar scenes of a gladiator arena (Star Wars - Attack of the Clones, for example), so the concept isn't new, but none can reach DUNE's level of AWESOMENESS. It's the immersive cinematography and how it takes its time to show every detail and let you live and breath this planet and its ambience. Reminds me of old classic films like Alien. You actually feel like you are there.
I like how they say something like "home" instead of house. It shows that even with how alien the language sounds there is still some familiarity hidden in it.
@OssomUmbra My guess...some kind of cloaking device, or mayhaps the material that their armor is made out of is only visible under Ophiuchi B's 'black light'...
Most sexually attractive women in the film are the Harkonnen women. Something about those plastic overalls… 😳 Then some of the Bene Gesserit (but attractive in a different non-sexual way - Mommy Atreides and Charlotte Rampling are extremely compelling to me). Irulan and Margo bore me.
I am Peruvian, I don't know if it was necessary to mention that, but I must say that I have read all the comments from every English speaker who saw this scene and I agree with each of them, I consider the Harkonen planet one of the worst places to live, manages to convey a hostile and inhuman atmosphere in every moment of the arena, both the citizens who are excited to see and the Atreid prisoners fight for their lives even being unjustly drugged, as well as the high nobility which is already saying a lot with Vladimir, really This planet is horrible.
I totally agree with you. Nothing about this planet looks pleasant. Even later when Margot goes into her guest bedroom there is absolutely nothing inviting or hospitable about it.
This Planet is truly like what a part of Humanity could look like in 20k years. Humanity evolves in such a radical way they no longer resemble their ancestors.
It was worth terrible past adaptations and the long, long wait to get what we got in the end. So worth the wait. Thanx to everyone involved in these recent films. Incredible.
There are moments in science fiction cinema that rank as "pick your jaw off the floor" scenes. The Maria-robot transformation in Metropolis. The Space Jockey reveal in Alien. The opening scene in Star Wars (the Star Destroyer rumbling overhead). The mothership hovering over Devils Tower in Close Encounters. The Decker-Ilia transformation scene in Star Trek. The Norris Defibrillator scene in Cronenberg's The Thing...among many others. But this, this outranks them all. Ever since I laid eyes on Giger's concept art for Dune back in the 70s I imagined Geidi Prime looking like this. I went to see this movie with my teenage son and daughter and both were blown away. Just epic, epic film-making.
The design is so well thought out. I think its no coincidence that the shape of the tower where the baron hovers is essentially the shape of the bene gesserit clothes in their robes and veil. And when the camera zooms in on it, it cuts back to lea seydous character.
Easiest job or no job at all. Part of me thinks if they were not this rigid and inclined a little more to art and culture, they’d maneuver a way around their baldness through head tattoos and a love for head-focused jewelry.
I didn’t understand that part. The shield is an emissive object; it gives off its own light rather than reflecting light cast from somewhere else. I understand why everything else in the scene (mostly reflective objects) is in black-and-white, but why the shield? Should it not still be as blue as ever? (For reference, one of the lights inside Lady Margot’s binoculars is still blue.)
This scene somehow made the Baron menacing while he floated towards the balcony like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon. That's the power of a good old fashioned Hans Zimmer BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
According to astronomers at Ohio State University, young stars can apparently have as much as 80% of their surface covered with sun spots, hence why most of its circular silhouette is visible. So, not only do Harkonnen's have a mostly infrared-emitting star but, one that's only shinning at a fraction of its potential. Is it any wonder they depend on industry and synthetic food? What world could bear an adequate agrarian sector sufficient to feed its populace with such an atramentous sun? Good world-building 👍
Is the infrared sun thing mentioned in the books? I thought the infrared color scheme was just a stylistic way of conveying this scene to the audience and not how it's supposed to actually look like in-universe.
@@smuggymcsmugface2142 Black sun isn’t mentioned in the books, only that Giedi Prime doesn’t have a lot of photo synthesis. Black sun was movie made change, but cool one af in that matter.
@@smuggymcsmugface2142No, that's exactly what it looks like in universe. Why would they make it look different for us than them like that just for one specific area?

Feyd’s birthday is literally treated like a holiday on their planet. Literal despot vibes.
North Korea but cool looking.
Like Commodus, except he's actually skilled enough to kill the vast majority of the human race in 1-to-1 combat
They also mentioned it as “holy”, meaning that House Harkonnen has a literal cult of personality going on.
@@srbrant5391 Not really though. Nobles are supposedly "chosen by God" to serve and thats why "it is their right", considering The Bible exists in the Dune universe and the Attredies and Harkonnen are both European based/inspired its likely they just mean Holy because he's their ruler. Also potential prophecy fulfiller at this point.

BEST SCENE IN THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!!
The whole movie was priceless there’s not a best scene
@@t0noo309 your right. But still this scene is still amazing
@@t0noo309one of the best scenes in my movie-watching ever
I wasn't ever going to say this but this scene rivals the balrog scene in lotr, by far the best scene to set up for the rest of the movie.
It stuck with me. I'll give it that.
It looks so alien yet so real. So believable. It's hard to not think about.
But the sandworm riding scene, all the action, the confrontation at the end, the ending fight and Paul sending them to "paradise" all easily top this in objective quality.
This would just pure world building and it is breathtaking.
I saw the beep at 1:19 in Imax and it changed my life.
Bwahahahahahaa
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this scene to come online for months
Same 🥹
Geidi Prime was said to be an industrial wasteland, mixed with some features of ancient Rome, IIRC from the novel. This scene gives it a massive Warhammer 40K vibe, which is perfect for the Harkonnen homeworld.
the millions of people moving in unison to the chant was so viscerally disturbing and awe-inspiring at the same time
This scene lives on repeat in my mind. Especially love the BG cloaks going from black to white. This planet feels very alien.
It's because Geidi Prime orbits a K-Type Brown dwarf in a trinary star system. The light they get is high in infrared. Hence you get actual color and human skin tone in the shadows, and when in the star light you see black/white because it's infrared.
@JumboMceal it is if shot on film. This is IR film. Not CG. IR film exposes in B&W. It can be colorized but that takes computer help to map the images and light reflections to make a depth map then they can reconstruct. I agree it IS cinematic, but it IS IR film.
@JumboMceal I mean it would look like that if we were able to see in infrared, but yeah stars like that don't exist irl. that's why it's science fiction, not science fact.
@@stanpines9011k-type brown dwarfs do exist tho that's not the issue
It was one of the more intense scenes I've ever experienced in theaters, pure adrenaline!
- How much evil do you want the planet to have?
- Yes

What the hell happened to Caseoh?
@@Aukrania He lost weight, lol
@@user-dr3dp9zo6fHe got a new mobility scooter
0:38 the way the crowd moves is so creepy and unnerving, it makes you think they are almost forced to do this. It kind of reminds how in North Korea whenever the dictator dies they all have to cry as hard as they can, or else. On Giedi Prime, they have to go along with the chants and move like that, or else.
I get what you mean. The Harkonnen’s aesthetic, cruelness and conformity makes me think of a society that exists if Nazi Germany won the war. Harkonnens look the same, as if they achieved a “master race”.
Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if their entire culture and society likes this type of shit
In the books i am pretty sure it is said they love Their house cuz they dragged their planet in to wealth and power even if it was a cruel method. as the other guy said similar to the Nazis, they were insane but the germans accepted them cuz they gave Germany “rebirth”. The ends justify the means
When this scene happened in the book, the population was forced to attend the arena fight, but by the end of it they’re rushing the arena to lift Feyde up on their shoulders and parading him around like a hero. The Baron even remarks that he could walk around unshielded in the poorest districts of Harko and people would happily give him their last bit of food just to have him come into their homes
I doubt they’re forcing them to dance, seeing how the harkonen soldiers acted in the last movie I’m pretty sure the entire planet is just as sick as the harkonens themselves
The harkonnen announcer lives in my head rent free
Thats a right superbowl by Harkonnens
This is the "Sardaukar throat singing" of the second movie. One of those super unique scenes that spawn their own fanbase. Villeneuve is taking Herbert's work to another level.
Under our glorious black sun a spectacle of blood and honor.
Both are phrases which, incidentally, were used by the Nazis. One alone might not be a coincidence but I think both back-to-back send a different message.
One of these days I hope to work this sentence into a casual conversation.
@@digitalorca I advise against that. People will very likely think you're a Nazi, or something adjacent to a Nazi.
@@keyabrade1861 who cares lmao, people call you a nazi for doing anything nowadays
words means nothing
@@undefinedhuman7404 Funny, people haven't been calling me a Nazi on a regular basis regardless of what I do.
I wonder what it is you're saying that makes people say that about you.
Even when the Harkonnens aren't fighting, their stomping, clapping, and chanting still sounds like they're marching towards battle. A testament to how militarized Harkonnen society is.
This is the Star Wars of this generation, and everyone who was fortunate to see this in IMAX (like my self) definitely knows how this scene felt. The horn in the shot where Feyd is revealed came like a jump scare!
Funny considering that Dune is where the Star Wars franchise got some of its ideas from.
@redcell9636 The Empire Strikes Back is undefeated as far as sci-fi movies go. It is brilliant, and still holds up to this day.
@@Hannibal953able nuh uh
Dune came before Star Wars and inspired much of the story.
People take star wars too seriously it's not the standard Star Wars is a cobbled mess of SciFi themes thrown together and hoping to work We deserved to have Dune from the beginning Star Wars is stupid no respect for it
Everyone killed it. Theyre not actors acting, theyre chatacters being. Fully sunk in and committed to the role. Its beautiful.
I love the Barron’s smug expression @ 2:09 like “Pretty bad ass, right?”
One of the best scenes in any movie I've ever seen, seeing it for the first time in theaters was an unforgettable experience
Согласен, и на первом фильме была сцена с Sardaukar
That moment when you notice that the black robes from the Bene gesserit turn white
That was phenomenal. It shows me that the Bene Gesserit robes aren't actually black but a dark color. And since the black sun sucks all the color out of anything, the robes turning white was a great visual
It's because Geidi Prime orbits a K-Type Brown dwarf in a trinary star system. The light they get is high in infrared, so that's why when in the dark hallways you can still see everyone still has pigment (even the Harpies skin tone), but when walking into the sunlight they get bathed in infrared light, changing the visible color tone.
The appearance of both Vladimir Harkonnen and the Sisters of the Bene Gesserit from black to white is just mesmerizing🤩
superb job by the wardrobe department
It crazy how they’re all humans they’ve just adapted to different planets and environments over thousands of years
But the harks didn’t want anything to resemble like human past.
At this point, Geidi prime needs it's own prequel or spin off or something. This scene is simply phenomenal!!!!!
"A long way to come to watch our prospect- *BILOOP*"
forgive one another is the way - Jesus Words
Many other scifi films have similar scenes of a gladiator arena (Star Wars - Attack of the Clones, for example), so the concept isn't new, but none can reach DUNE's level of AWESOMENESS. It's the immersive cinematography and how it takes its time to show every detail and let you live and breath this planet and its ambience. Reminds me of old classic films like Alien. You actually feel like you are there.
I like how they say something like "home" instead of house. It shows that even with how alien the language sounds there is still some familiarity hidden in it.
Geidi Prime feels like a dystopian nightmare so unlike the other home worlds.
2:19 how the picadors suddenly appear from the recesses of the arena wall is freaky.
If you look back over the scene, they were there in the background the whole time
Picadors?
More like _Gladiatrix-Arrancar-Harlequin-Boisvert_ arena guards that are most certainly not modified by the Tleilaxu in any way! 😈
@OssomUmbra My guess...some kind of cloaking device, or mayhaps the material that their armor is made out of is only visible under Ophiuchi B's 'black light'...
This scene in IMAX was complete bonkers. This chant is such an earwig. And the stadium announcer is superb ❤❤❤

Most sexually attractive women in the film are the Harkonnen women. Something about those plastic overalls… 😳
Then some of the Bene Gesserit (but attractive in a different non-sexual way - Mommy Atreides and Charlotte Rampling are extremely compelling to me).
Irulan and Margo bore me.

I am Peruvian, I don't know if it was necessary to mention that, but I must say that I have read all the comments from every English speaker who saw this scene and I agree with each of them, I consider the Harkonen planet one of the worst places to live, manages to convey a hostile and inhuman atmosphere in every moment of the arena, both the citizens who are excited to see and the Atreid prisoners fight for their lives even being unjustly drugged, as well as the high nobility which is already saying a lot with Vladimir, really This planet is horrible.
No me Harkonnen forever
why dont you vote for fujimori then
I totally agree with you. Nothing about this planet looks pleasant. Even later when Margot goes into her guest bedroom there is absolutely nothing inviting or hospitable about it.
Peruvian here too 🥳
Darkness also has its beauty, its glory, its epic.No todo mundo es como peru o en america latina sol,risas,bailar,en otros países no nos gusta eso
This Planet is truly like what a part of Humanity could look like in 20k years. Humanity evolves in such a radical way they no longer resemble their ancestors.
I mean, there are plenty of oddly pale bald people today. You don't need 20,000 years of separation for people to begin to diverge in appearance.

It was worth terrible past adaptations and the long, long wait to get what we got in the end. So worth the wait. Thanx to everyone involved in these recent films. Incredible.
am I the only who absolutely obsessed with the Harkonnen language??? I need to learn it immediately
There are moments in science fiction cinema that rank as "pick your jaw off the floor" scenes. The Maria-robot transformation in Metropolis. The Space Jockey reveal in Alien. The opening scene in Star Wars (the Star Destroyer rumbling overhead). The mothership hovering over Devils Tower in Close Encounters. The Decker-Ilia transformation scene in Star Trek. The Norris Defibrillator scene in Cronenberg's The Thing...among many others. But this, this outranks them all. Ever since I laid eyes on Giger's concept art for Dune back in the 70s I imagined Geidi Prime looking like this.
I went to see this movie with my teenage son and daughter and both were blown away. Just epic, epic film-making.
I passed out watching this in IMAX.
😂😂😂
I love how the Bene Gesserit also seem super sinister.
Meanwhile after seeing this in South Korea, Japan and China, netizens search for the term " Where to buy Harkonnen skin bleaching products " .
The design is so well thought out. I think its no coincidence that the shape of the tower where the baron hovers is essentially the shape of the bene gesserit clothes in their robes and veil. And when the camera zooms in on it, it cuts back to lea seydous character.
Harkonnen chanting feels like black speech of Mordor in a clearer war
This scene hit sooo hard in IMAX. OK the whole movie did, but here, you really felt as you were in the Arena...it was beyond amazing.
Imagine being a barber on Giedi Prime...
Every day someone comes to you to make them bald
Their water is filthy. Maybe they all lost hair after chemotherapy.
Barber? What barber? Barber doesn't even exist in the Harkonnen language.
Easiest job or no job at all. Part of me thinks if they were not this rigid and inclined a little more to art and culture, they’d maneuver a way around their baldness through head tattoos and a love for head-focused jewelry.
I'm not sure if you notice but when Feyd activated the shield looks so cool. Just no other color but black due to the black suns uv light. Genius
I didn’t understand that part.
The shield is an emissive object; it gives off its own light rather than reflecting light cast from somewhere else.
I understand why everything else in the scene (mostly reflective objects) is in black-and-white, but why the shield? Should it not still be as blue as ever?
(For reference, one of the lights inside Lady Margot’s binoculars is still blue.)
This scene somehow made the Baron menacing while he floated towards the balcony like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon. That's the power of a good old fashioned Hans Zimmer BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Havent felt this amped in theatres since revenge of the sith or Two towers
In theatre the arena duel gave me chills . Felt like i was in the arena . And geidi prime in general is horror in a sci fi way
I watch this nearly daily and it is good for my mental health!
This is art.
The light from the sun bouncing off the tower back into the Crowd is crazy
The most beautiful and most disturbing depiction of a dystopian society that I have ever seen.
According to astronomers at Ohio State University, young stars can apparently have as much as 80% of their surface covered with sun spots, hence why most of its circular silhouette is visible. So, not only do Harkonnen's have a mostly infrared-emitting star but, one that's only shinning at a fraction of its potential. Is it any wonder they depend on industry and synthetic food? What world could bear an adequate agrarian sector sufficient to feed its populace with such an atramentous sun? Good world-building 👍
Is the infrared sun thing mentioned in the books? I thought the infrared color scheme was just a stylistic way of conveying this scene to the audience and not how it's supposed to actually look like in-universe.
@@smuggymcsmugface2142 Black sun isn’t mentioned in the books, only that Giedi Prime doesn’t have a lot of photo synthesis. Black sun was movie made change, but cool one af in that matter.
@@smuggymcsmugface2142No, that's exactly what it looks like in universe. Why would they make it look different for us than them like that just for one specific area?
"atramentous"
Damn what a word, man.
Imagine Sting wearing his speedo in this arena and his red hair being the only colored thing.
I believe this is similar to what the Romans experienced with their colosseum games.
2:16 This scene in the cinema was otherworldly...quite literally
@billypribbo9668 Alrighty then Billy who shat in your cereal
I remember sitting in the theater at this point and thinking that I would need a day off after this movie. It was such an overload of visual stimulation. One of the best movie theater experiences ever.
FEYD RAUTHAA!!! *epic music ensues*...
I love that the Black & White was more than just an artistic choice...it was given a logical canon reasoning.
The fireworks are cool but I don't know why Villeneuve decided to have them explode into the shape of my parents fighting.
Many scenes of this and the previous part live rent free in my head.
Lady Fenring has a pretty nice voice.
stop simping
Feyd thinks so too. 😉 lol
I mean that's kinda her job
This is one of the few movies that really feel alien, despite not having a single alien in it (intelligent lifeforce if you mean)
Plot twist: the chant starting at 0:38 is Geidi Prime version of "Happy Birthday to you"
Everything about this scene is electric. Phenomenal visuals. Best scene in whole movie.
