Max just released Dune:Prophecy trailer, I believe it’s gonna be a series. It came out a few days ago, a prequel to the movies
Something missing from the books is that it is like the Middle Ages in that strategic alliances and marriages were very important. And the politics were very important.
But, The last lines of book Jessica, tells Chani that Irulan “will have the name, yet she'll live less than a concubine-never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine-history will call us wives."
every time they used the voice at the theaters i jumped lol
This movie is what IMAX was designed for. It was an absolutely incredible experience.
this is what hollywood has lost. star wars, star trek, lord of the rings, they all had the one thing that is lacking today. great writing, and filming brought together to make a story come alive.
I was very impressed by Rebecca Ferguson in this movie. It's a shame she's such an underrated actress because she's so amazing and charismatic in every movie she does !
She's fantastic in these films and MI.
It's always fun to hear Denis Villeneuve talk about Rebecca, because in most interviews it sounds like he practically worships the ground she walks on. He's a man who recognises talent, that's for sure
I don't think she's underrated at all. I've seen a ton of praise for her and rightfully so. She's amazing in everything she's in. She can do it all, drama, action, thrillers.
[distorted voices] All of us
She steals every scene she's in! Especially after going full Reverend Mother 😊
Me: Badd Medicine uploaded Dune??
Stilgar: “…as written”
lisan al gaib
Lisan al Gaib
hahahahahahahahahahha!! this is really good xD
Dave Bautista is like the Anti Rock, takes roles he finds interesting and fun for himself and is based and lovable as an actor.
Also, I love how Stilgar's "LISAN AL GAIB!" is almost comedic relief through the entire film, until that last shot of him boarding the Ship and him screaming it with that fanatical look in his eyes.
Aslo also, it's never really explained in the Movies but, the reason Swords/Knives are used in combat, and why they didn't use the Las Guns on the Thopter is because, when a Las Gun's beam hits a Shield, it sets off an explosion akin to a Nuclear blast, because reasons, so Las Guns are used against unshielded targets/fortifications, the Crawler didn't have Shields as they also attract Worms and drive them into a frenzy when in the Desert.
He's actually interested in acting and being a serious actor. The Rock is just concerned with being a "cool" superstar.
@@MamadNobari Rock is just living out his WWE fantasy irl, always acting as if life is some celebrity show
The Final Boss slander is insane
The "fun" thing about lasguns and shields is that you can't tell at what end the nuclear explosion will occur.
I don't get where this "Stilgar is comedic relief" is coming from.
There is nothing even remotely funny about his transformation from a fanatic to a zealot. It's just sad and frightening.
Fun fact: when Chani tells Stilgar he's insane, she says the Chakobsa phrase "Zaihaash lek", which is literally "you're drinking sand".
Do you know what language they’re using in the movie?
@@vtetrooo1312 Chakobsa

With Dune 2 crossing $710m worldwide, confident that if Dune 3 by Denis Villeneuve is on par with Dune 2, it could have a shot at $1bn worldwide which would be crazy for a Dune movie!
I mean star wars didn't earn a billion until the force awaken.so yeah it will be great if dune 3 could earn a billion.
I really hope it does loved the books and I just hope that he can do it!!❤
@@shubhradipdas7189The phantom menace made a billion at the box office and the inflation adjusted gross of A New Hope is over $3 billion.

@Latifah-uq7zr how the fuck would anyone other than BM know that you dumb bitch? Just fucking wait and see
The worm riding scene in theaters was brilliant. Love the time spent on build up and patience during such a packed film. Certain theater audio systems during it vibrate you to your core lol
This movie really showed me that there’s a CRAZY different from theater to theater in sound quality. Some places do their sound design much better than others.
I actually got goosebumps seeing it the first time. Steven Spielberg was interviewing Denis for a Director's Guild podcast and said about the sandworm riding scene "it's one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Ever!" That's some seriously high praise.
Home theater systems do so as well.
I have a pretty decent one (not overpowered for the space I have) and it was quite the treat.
Just for clarity's sake, the Kwizat Hadorach (KH) is the real chosen one the Bene Gesserit (BG) wanted to lead. A male BG that can see both pasts of male and female, along with the future, and the BG want that person to lead the Imperium (and they want to control him). Paul was also trained as a fighter and politician. When he drinks the water of life, it is the final step for him to become the KH (though he's arguably only a psuedo-KH since Jessica had him one generation early - The BG wanted Jessica to have a daughter with Leto Atreides, who would then have a male child, the KH with Feyd-Rautha).
So, the Lisan Al-Gaib (LA) is the made up prophecy by the BG to control them as a people. That's why Jessica has the rundown on how to take over their culture. She didn't really want to, until she drank the Water of Life. When that happens, she's much more deterministic, as is Paul. She has the daughter that tells her what to do. Paul has crystal clear potential futures. They see the possibilities and what must happen for their best case scenario, so they do those things without question. It's a major part of why Paul switches so drastically upon drinking the Water of Life.
(Possible spoilers for future films)
I thought Paul wasn't "pseudo" KH, he just simply refused his role, and paid for it with his foresight
The reason they planned for Feyd to marry fem-Paul is because KH needed the Harkonan bloodline in him, but Paul already did because his mom is Harkonan, which is why he could become the KH at all. If his mom wasn’t Harkonan, he couldn’t be KH.
One thing you may not have picked up on: Chani’s secret name is “Desert Spring” and she said it was about a prophecy….the prophecy was basically that Maud’dib would die and be brought back to life by tears of a desert spring!
Only movie stuff. No book lore.
Yep, we are talking about the movie, not the books. This is the reaction to the movie, not the books
@@user-yz5ug4kh2q The book wouldn’t have come with such silly script🤣
@di3486 Aw, arent you cute.
Always ❤
17:26 they don't go into it too much, but the lasguns (lasers they use) trigger a nuke-like explosion if they touch a shield, not only at the point of contact, but it also reverberates back to the person using the lasgun and would kill them too. So, they can't take out the chopper with that.
This exactly why they (fremen) made sure to take down the chopper before using the laser.
I was going to say this, someone already covered it well here.. many people ask the same thing and go why not the laser and I am like - NOOOOO.
That's also part of how swords are still in fashion.
The way Villaneuve and his cinematographer frame every shot is incredible. It’s so minimalist and yet so great in scale and detailed at the same time. In theaters this was just an incredible watch
I'm biased because Villeneuve is a hometown boy, and I first saw his shit when I was a teenager and when he was barely a full adult... but besides his obvious storytelling abilities, the guy has an eye for talent and for surrounding himself with talented people.
And I guess the charm to get them on board 😀
@@ponfed he hasn’t put out a bad film and has “quickly” established himself as one of the new generation of directors u have to work with.
@Knightowl1980 The 'quickly' is where some of my chauvinism comes in. Cause he was putting out short docs on Bhutan or Thailand in Quebec in the mid nineties.. I was *there* growing up and watching him grow up.
That's why I'm qualifying and edging. I might have rose colored glasses, you know?😉
But you are right that when he started to *hit* in Hollywood.. let's say Incendies onwards.. he very quickly became a force to be reckoned with. Undeniably...
Arrival still makes me cry, and I will go out on a limb and say it's at least a contender for his best movie..
I am so sorry you did not watch in IMAX... but so happy we get this reaction 🤩
My wife saw the first movie playing on a bus and she told me it was a "weird sci-fi thing" and when we watched Part 2 in theaters she loved it and called it her best theater experience!
Your wife is WRONG!
Lol i watched the first movie and made me obsessed with dune, now the second was visually stunning but the script was underwhelming.
@billstephens396 always gotta have that guy that just denies other ppl exist in this huge world we live in that have their OWN fricken OPINIONS!!! Hope u can find someone to open ur eyes to spread love & kindness to ur fellow man.
@@jenloveshorror This statement makes you wrong as well... Sorry, not sorry...
@@billstephens396 sure
Paul literally pulled a "Wait, but the anime portrayed Japan differently".
One reason the technology seems so different is that 10,000 years earlier Mankind won their war against their equivalent of Skynet and "thinking machines" were outlawed. People turned instead to developing the human mind leading to groups like the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats (human calculators like Thufir Hawat), and the Guild Navigators.
The reveal about Jessica being Baron Harkonnen's daughter is only briefly mentioned in the book. Baron Harkonnen is homosexual and has no known biological children which is why he relies mostly on his nephews Rabban (Batista) and Feyd-Rautha (Butler) as his surrogate sons. It is mentioned that he allowed himself one time to be seduced by a Bene Gesserit who would then go on to give birth to Jessica. The major concern about Alia (Paul's sister) being exposed to the Water of Life in the womb is that it turns her into an "Abomination", a pre-born Reverand Mother with the power and vision of all the memories of previous RMs tied to her bloodline. This makes her vulnerable to being possessed by the egos of her ancestors (including Baron Harkonnen) because she doesn't have a strong sense of her own identity; how can she when she's still just a foetus at this point. This goes onto be the main story for the third book Children of Dune.
Huh. I'm surprised he doesn't have serving boys instead of girls then.
My reaction to DUNE p2 was to go out to the lobby and buy another ticket for the next available theater showing. I saw this film 3 times in theater, all IMAX. No Regrets (Regerts)!
you are wise in the ways of the desert
This is the only other series that i've watched so much that its getting closer to my lord of the rings binges through out my life. I've legitimately seen LOTR 14 times (the entire trilogy) from memory, other times, it was in the background while my friends and I were gaming. I've seen Dune 2 at least a total of 7 times now, i love it so much. This is the 2nd movie series that has done that to me, and beat the matrix.
I love watching the reactions to Dune 2, just to see that moment when that one defining thought of Dune pops into the minds of the reactors (who haven't read the books): "Maybe.... Maybe this guy isn't the hero."
A surprising amount of reactors still see him as the hero even by the end... That's what the third movie is for🤣🤣
They didn't really go into it, but there were absolutely moments when Answer and the Oak were hootin' and hollerin' and Mason seemed to have some kind of haunted look on his face. Not sure if I read it right, but I think he felt it
@@ladrac198 Yeah, it's surprising that so many of them are rooting for a man and his mother who declare a "holy war" and whose followers are portrayed as an army of fanatics. Perhaps Denis Villeneuve should have used the original terminology from the books: "jihad". This would probably have set off many more alarm bells in the Western consciousness because of the word's more negative connotations. Although it and a holy war or crusade mean basically the same thing.
For many reactors it doesn't pop. And they actually changed some moments to make it MORE obvious. Still flies over the head.
Messiah is going to break a lot of "casual viewer's" hearts I think. I hope the 3rd book gets adapted as well, but I'm not sure about God Emperor - that might be too out there for most people.
I love how they jump out of the sand at full sprint like ninjas, they studied the trap door spiders and adapted their way of hunting
56:05 I find weird that they chose to make the Emperor call Leto weak in the movies.
The Emperor did not think Leto was weak, quite the opposite, he admired and even envied Leto, for many reasons... he was popular among the other houses, had a son to heir, etc., unlike him (The Emperor) who seems powerful, but in reality is only being controlled by the Bene Gesserit who chose to not grant him a son, for example. The Emperor even wished that Irulan had been born earlier so that she could've been older and married Leto.
I think he did that as a final desperate attempt to kill Paul and save himself. He called his father weak, knowing that Paul will have to challenge him (or his champion, because he was old) to a duel.
Yeah he was lying and quite obviously so. Leto was a threat to him he knew it. I veiw it as more of an attempt to goad Paul.
I interpreted it as a taunt out of anger, frustration and unwillingness to accept his defeat. For the same reason he said that Paul should bow at his feed. It is dishonest, but he can't help himself but to spite Paul for daring to challenge his place as emperor in such a disrespectful manner.
You should see Timothy in "The King". Saw it years ago and his performance in that was why his performance in Dune wasn't such a shock to me. "The King" is fantastic.
At the end, when Paul tells Stilgar, "Lead them to Paradise". It is said with sadness because this is the terrible fate he saw if he went south and tried to avoid. He now realizes there was no avoiding the death of billions because of him. The only way to avoid this outcome would have been to just roll over and give up, letting the Harkonnens and the Emperor win.
Spoiler alert: This is also why I think Paul wasn't able to follow the golden path. He emotionally wasn't strong enough to deal with all the death and destruction that was needed to shape the universe the way it needed to be like his son, Leto II (God Emperor of Dune) was able to do later.
"He emotionally wasn't strong enough" No, Paul had empathy. Leto II is a sociopath, thanks to his upbringing, and he has no problem becoming a heartless dictator hyperfocused on the ideal of humanity in the future, while causing untold suffering to billions in his thousands of years of rule. Again, Herbert warning the reader about the awful reality of authoritarian leaders. That so many Leto fans try to explain away his monstrous behavior just goes to reinforce how psychology has noted a marked uptick in antisocial personality disorders in the last 50 years.
@@rikk319 And yet, Leto II is what was needed to save humanity from extinction. There have been great leaders and terrible leaders who were sociopaths. There will always be need of people like that to make the tough choices when times are hard, the rest of the time, keep those people as far away from power as you can, until they are needed again.
@@RogunK "These" kind of people tend to be the cause of the problems...and then we need more of them to fix it? No thanks, let's just leave them out of the equation in the first place.
@@rikk319 You forgot one specific point : Dune was already been terraformed by Fremens for centuries by the time the Atreides arrived. It's not shown in the movies but is described in the book. So the desert will eventually fade, and Dune will become green and blue again, destroying the worms and the spice production with or without intervention.
So, in a nutshell, the Empire will crumble, revolts will be repressed by force, people will starve to death and humanity will return to pre-industrial time in no time on every planet. Don't forget there will be in the first time a politic mess and a struggle for power since the treachery of the Emperor will be revealed by Harkonnens. So you have to choose between two directions :
1) Let things go its way, doing nothing, and hundreds of billions of people dying of isolation, war and starvation in the long term.
-> no more central power ;
-> no space-time cuts in galactic travels ;
-> maybe the slow and final end of humanity ?
2) Doing something to unite humanity by holy war, dozens of billions people dying by your action in the short term, but saving ultimately hundreds of billions dying the worst way possible.
-> still a remnant of central power for some time (until technology has advanced enough to travel in space without spice) ;
-> humanity reforged without the influence of the spice, all types of prophets and precognition leaders.
For the point of view of Paul and his successor, it's a moral conflict of the "Trolley problem" in the grand scale.
*An utilitarianism moral dilemma,* which cannot be comprehend by the all the people suffering and dying because of the choice of one single man to turn the direction of the train.
So, yeah, Leto II is a sociopath who chooses to "save" humanity from its demise. He's not doing good obviously, he's doing bad for the greater good. Maybe there would have been better options, if the Bene Gesserit had not played with the lignages for so long to create extrasensory peoples, or if they didn't played with religion and create an ultimate fanatic army ready to leach on the Empire with or without the existence or the survival of their messiah... That's why Leto II is so obsessed and angry towards the Bene Gesserit, his dictatorship style is because of their past choices, but he's not mean to destroy this group but teach them the harshest lesson possible, to let them evolve the best way possible (and the two books after is about the point of view of the Bene Gesserit).
It's not one man fault, *it's the fault of all humanity until this point in the story and the dependence of spice to stabilize the society.* Leto II get humanity off spice to free itself of strong leaders, false beliefs, and extrasensory people. He's not a hero, he's not a good guy, hes' not a great leader, he's a martyr willingly sacrificing his humanity to save humanity. Was he right ? Nobody will never know in Dune, nor the readers, because it's obvious Frank Herbert wanted to reveal something about another space related threats in one or two more books but had not the time to do so... which is sad.
@@Zagrakhen If spice leads to the problems, then perhaps humans losing space travel and existing on separate planets would be best. How exactly would that lead to extinction any sooner? Humans would evolve separately on each planet, and not have to worry about some over-arching despotism running everything in the galaxy.
I've read the books, too. I just find Herbert's premises about human evolution and extinction and there being "only one way forward" with the Golden Path rather absurd. You don't teach "humanity" because "humanity" isn't a hive mind. Each new generation, each new individual, has to be educated to develop properly. There's no way to teach a "lesson" and have humanity learn it for all time, because "humanity" is a concept. Human beings, each individual one, is the reality.
In my opinion, Leto II was even more misguided than Paul. If Herbert was trying to show how a single human trying to make decisions for everyone else was a very bad idea, he succeeded. If he was trying to show that Leto II was ultimately right, then he's plowing under everything he taught about charismatic leaders being bad in the first two books. Either way, it shows that he had some good ideas, but getting your philosophical lessons from fiction isn't always the best idea.
This movie is one the best movies I’ve seen is a long time.
Feels so good to just sit back and enjoy something.
At 13yrs old when i saw Return of the King at the cinema, i thought I'd soon see films that were done so well & make me feel the same way as the LOTR trilogy. I didn't think it would take 20yrs until the Dune films but I'm glad i got to experience that same feeling again.
I thought exactly the same thing! The LOTR trilogy had been my #1 favourite for twenty years... Now they're tied with Dune! I just hope Messiah will be equally incredible.
Not quite there.
Dune has surpassed LOTR in all categories..Hopefully a new show will show more.eof The Great Houses ..this will make the Dune Universe
@@robertnguyen2025 amazing humor 🤣🤣
It goes to show you that whenever someone says about a movie, or sports star, "We'll never see something or someone as good as this again", it's just a tired trope and very self-centered, as it almost always focuses on someone or something from their own childhood or lifetime, and never someone or something from history, or the chance that it will very likely be surpassed at some point in the future.
Oak whenever he sees a worm: "Ohhhh that's a big one!"
This movie in IMAX is peak theater experience
I am so glad that Jessica is so important, characters like her usually die as part of the origin story, not so here. I love how powerful she becomes, she's almost galadriel
Even Paul’s father Leto is related to the Baron, if I’m not mistaken the Harkonnens and the Ateidis somewhat share ancestry, in the first movie the Leto poison scene, the Baron calls him cousin.
If I remember correctly in the book that's something high families call each other, it doesn't necessarily mean actual relation.
@@teahdurst7856 The various planets of Human Know Space are probably separated by 1000's of years of evolution. But the Sisterhood has been carefully breeding members of the planetary heads for that long as well.
@@adaeptzulander2928 True, but that wasn't really known outside of the BG - a vague presumption of a common distant ancestor makes sense for any long standing noble house, however their use of 'cousin' is more of a nod to them being more similar to each other than the people they rule. IMO.
Paul's secret name, "Usul", is a word for the foundation/base of a pillar, that holds everything else up, and his war name "Muad'Dib", the kangaroo mouse of Arrakis, is also a constellation that points to their North Star, AkA "The One Who Points the Way", another way of saying leader, SO, Paul Muad'Dib Usul, AkA "Paul, the one who leads the way, and is the foundation that holds us all up"... pretty powerful name! also, the Harkonnens planet is orbiting a black sun, so with that and their ozone layer, it makes an old school filter on the whole planet, so under the suns rays, everything is shades of blacks, greys, and whites, but away from the suns rays, they have colours...
LOVED this movie. The casting was fantastic and I was just thinking in my head of all the actors I recognized lol 😂 also Rebeca Ferguson plays Lady Jessica SO WELL she made me feel the pain and torment she was going through after drink the “Water of Life” and the fact she could totally switch from protective mother to a tormented souls with over a thousand Reverend Mothers speaking to her at once is incredibly impressive.
I appreciate the "twelfth century" reference much more than you might expect. They really teased the "cowbell" thing with the "More. More. Give me more." And yes, Chani comes comically close to saying her secret name is Zendaya.
Take a shot whenever Stilgar mentions the Lisan Al Gaib 😂
Jokes aside, this is nothing short but a masterpiece. Part 3 Messiah can't come soon enough.
Hard to believe the guy who directed this once retired from filmmaking and was a stay at home dad for several years.
These movies were so well made and entertaining and I'm so glad Villeneuve made the choices he did to clarify the themes from the books.
What I find most interesting about the "Dune" series is that the overarching theme is how propaganda about a "Messiah" and a the manipulation of people by a charismatic leader leads to problems.
The fact that Paul becomes the unwilling leader of a Holy War that leads to the genocide of millions is wild to me. One hopes that he's on the right path, but we find out that by the end of this movie, his mother and the people around him led him to be a tryannical and blood soaked emperor.
So, the people Paul replaced were better? The Emperor, The Baron, The Bene Geserrit? Paul could see all possible futures. Even though the path he was forced to take was going to be bloody. Humanity survived. If the Bene Gesserit got "The One" they were hoping for. The one they had complete control over. Would that be better? The Reverend Mother was willing to sacrifices a whole House. And you think it would be better to have her in control of the "Ultimate Power" in the Universe? Think of our own past...... What about the tens of millions of Humans killed in WW2. Was horrible. Mass destruction on a scale not seen before. But would it have been better to let the Nazis win? I do not think so. Paul was a good man. One who tried to do the best he could. But sometimes the best is still horrible. He could have run from the responsibility. But instead, he did what he thought was the best he could do. Given the circumstances.
Dang, sad they didn't react to Stilgar's immediate "Lisan Al-Gaib!" after Feyd and Paul's fight lol
The knee-jerk silly reactions to Stilgar's descent into religious obsession and fanaticism isn't funny but heartbreaking. Taking his tragic character as a sign of comedy is shallow and depressing, considering where his character ends up and what the author (and director I think) was trying to convey.
@@rikk319 Director and editors definitely played up the religious fanaticism for laughs, because they don't respect religion and they look down on the religious. They had an opportunity to show how scary devotion is, how terrifying fanaticism can get, and instead they played it off for cheap laughs.
Loved your reactions as usual, thanks guys! Just something to keep in mind - the author, Frank Herbert, intended everyone to realize that Paul is not the hero. He's the villain of the story. Dune is, at heart, a cautionary Sci Fi tale about Fascism and Theocracy. Paul is someone who readily embraces Revenge. And he voluntarily turns his back on the Atreides way his Father taught him, to embrace the legacy of his Harkonnen bloodline, and seize power for himself.
This movie wraps the first book in the series, Dune. The next film will begin into DUNE MESSIAH, one of the sequels. Let's just say that Herbert kept trying to get people to realize that the anti-hero Paul was a villain, so expect that the farther into the story that you go, the harder and harder it should be to justify Paul's actions, or to be on his side. When people ask "What villain do you love to root for in all of Sci Fi or Fantasy?" After you see Dune, you really can only ever answer "Paul Muad'Dib". Because we love to be on his side, but once you follow the full arc of the first book, it becomes abundantly clear that he sacrificed who he was and how he was raised in order to pursue an agenda his father would never have sanctioned, and in the process, even knowing that he would cause billions of people to die of starvation, he still chose his own success over the well-being of hundreds of millions of innocents. Muad'Dib is the single greatest Anti-Hero ever written. And the sad thing is... most folks miss that completely. And end up cheering for Fascism, Cruelty, and Jihad. Which is the term used in the books.
And the ironic thing is that Dune is the underpinning for all modern SciFi, the same way that Lord of the Rings is the underpinning for all modern Fantasy.
"And the ironic thing is that Dune is the underpinning for all modern SciFi, the same way that Lord of the Rings is the underpinning for all modern Fantasy."
Except for the material that is based on Asimov's Foundation trilogy, which was voted in it's own time (40-50s) as the best science fiction story ever told. Star Wars and even Dune draws some from it, though there is no real central protagonist, as it's a plot-driven story, not character-driven, and thus very different in that way from most sci-fi stories that came after it.
you have one of the worst takes i have ever seen. "Paul is someone who readily embraces Revenge" yet the harkonnens and the emperor killed all his family and people and you expect him to just take it? are you a p*ssy? there isnt even anything regarding fascism yet you shoehorn that in since im sure youre brainwashed with "nazis big bad" jesus christ you need to touch some grass and reassess how you comprehend media because you went down the absolute wrong way in how to perceive the book and movie
Is it really that hard to believe that people prefer Fascism and Jihad over Feudalism? At least in those extremes you have a choice, you can be a follower, a bystander, or a rebel. Under Feudalism you are born into it, and that's it. Many people loved and followed Napoleon in his imperialism because he dismantled Feudalism. Anyway, for the Fremen, Paul is a hero that finally took them out of a harsh life and threat of genocide, and led them into power and hope. For the empire he is a villain that is destroying the status quo, a status quo that is being enforced by corruption and fiefdom. Paul is not a villain, arguably he's an anti hero, and the novels show us how terrible the existence of a Messiah is for anyone who is not following him.
Keep in mind House Corrino and his army The Sardaukar have been in power for 10,000 years ! They are the premier fighting force in the galaxy. Up until they meet the Fremen.
It helps show Frank Herbert's idea that the human culture of the galaxy has stagnated, with little or no technological or philosophical change in 10,000 years, too.
The Sardaukar didn't really have to do any real fighting for a long time by this point though. They were all reputation.
Timothee chalamet was a Awesome Actor In Dune Part II
And the Oscar for best picture goes to....
Probably not Dune Part 2. Because the movie that deserves it, rarely gets it.
And best supporting actress for Rebecca Ferguson, and possibly best lead actor for Chalamet.
Plus the practically-guarunteed awards for cinematography, score, sound design, and visual effects.

48:08 The Fremen warrior is probably the most underrated actor in this film. The entire scene rests on him believably turning to Paul's side, and you can see his confusion and defiance become feelings of wonder and fanatical loyalty-all sold with body language and a single word.
24:10 - Pulling up the front edge of the worm's ring segments exposes sensitive tissue underneath. Sand severely irritates this exposed tissue, so the worm can't dive and must remain at the surface, and will roll to keep the exposed bit as far from the sand as possible. By shifting the hooks laterally, the rider can force the worm to roll, which also causes it to turn.
that eyeroll javier bardem does at 12:30 always takes me out
Paul actually used the atomics to destroy the cliffs that would protect arakeen from the sandstorms. It also opened up a third attack point for the fremen.
1:16:00 they are indeed doing a spinoff series 🥲😅. But it's HBO, they can deliver. 10k years before the Dune films. Trailer is out.
So either at the end of or right after the Butlerian Jihad when the Buddhislamists came to Arrakis?
@@JeshuaSquirrel I have no idea. Just following through visual medium
@@JeshuaSquirrel All I know is that it focuses on the Bene Gesserit.
52:15 - That wasn't a warning shot. The capitol city Arakeen is built within a ring of mountains called the Shield Wall, so named because it keeps the sandstorms and worms at bay. Paul used the atomic weapons to blow a hole in the Shield Wall right as a particularly nasty storm hit, allowing the storm through the mountains and creating a passage for worms carrying an army of Fremen to reach the city.
An interesting fact is that the Bene Gesserit can choose when to get pregnant and the gender of their child in order to produce children when and where the order wishes, following the Bene Gesserit breeding program.
And Paul’s mom disobeyed the orders and gave birth to a son
One thing the films didn't explain is how the shields worked. You can't use a laser (lasgun) on shields because it would cause an atomic explosion, killing both the shield wearer and the one with the laser. So when the Fremen were attacking the spice harvesters, if they shot them with the laser, the ornithopters would get them and they couldn't shoot the ornithopters with the laser as they had the shield...
In the book, Chani stands with and supports Paul all the way. And she and Princess Urulan understand the details of a political marriage. Chani will have Paul's children and....
Well, I don't want to spoil it all for you. But the restrictions of cinema compelled the director to make some changes and switch a few things around. If Chani just sticks with Paul, a lot of tension vanishes. So much more. But the basics hew close enough to the book.
This 100%. So many people cling onto Chani's book version without any concept of how a narrative needs to change when translated from print to film.
I mean you literally spoiled it for anyone reading... At least edit your comment and add: "SPOILER" before the sentence: "Chani will have Paul's children and..."
@@p.gin3955 lmfao at least they didnt say the other part but people can probably guess that one...
There's a trailer that dropped yesterday or the day before. It's called Dune: Prophecy. You guys could check that out as well. We're getting more Dune projects this year.
In the immortal words of Count Dooku : "I've been looking forward to this."
Great reaction, guys ! Now go see it in the big screen. I went to see Dune 2 in 4DX with my son. When the grandfather worm appeared, the whole theater started to shake like an earthquake was taking place. My seat was bucking like a bronco trying to throw me off! I needed a seatbelt, and the seat was slamming into my back. It just got more violent when Paul got on the worm. I reached for my son, concerned for his safety. I found him screaming with joy, having the time of his life. As Paul rode the worm, my son and I let go of our seat, raised our arms and raised our feet off the floor. The whole theater felt as if it was to going to tear itself to pieces. The music was deafening beyond belief. My son and I rode the worm with Paul. It was an incredible and exhilarating experience. Someone should make a riding of the worm amusement ride!
The reason that they didn't use the laser on the copter right away is because in Dune, hitting a shield with a laser causes a nuke-like detonation that would kill everybody that was in that fight, Fremen or Harkonnen alike, including the person holding the laser weapon.
52:32 Just FYI about the atomics, in the lore atomics can't be used directly against houses because of a long held agreement called the "The Great Convention". Using atomics against another house would obviously destroy the agreement and cause all out armageddon so Paul smartly used them to destroy the barrier wall allowing the storm and the worms into the basin.
"I don't think that was foreshadowing"
- Oak, 2024
Denis Villaneuve said he would only do 3 movies. I can’t imagine another director doing them as well for subsequent movies.
Amazon can do that.😅
I can't imagine any movies going that well after Messiah. Possibly a mashup of Children and God-Emperor? I know the unfilmable is occasionally filmed, but the other two canonical books strike me as really unfilmable.
The reason they don't use the beam weapon on the Thopter is because the interaction between the beam and the shield is catastrophic for everyone involved. The reason they van use it on the harvester is because they don't use shields because shields cause worms to attack in a frenzy.
Cracked me up the way you all talked about the way Paul was trying to mansplain to Chani. Even men hate it!lol
I think i must be the only person who had never heard of Florence Pugh before this movie lol
I was exhausted too after watching Dune 2 in IMAX. It was an amazing experience but so much to take in: visual impression, the sound, all the things happening in the film. I needed half an hour to process everything afterward. I wouldn't have minded if they had split this first book into three parts.
I think most serious students of the books understand that the more Frank Herbert wrote, the more psychedelics he was taking, and the "weirder" the Dune story gets. Villeneuve has already hinted that the third movie (second book) is about as far a he thinks he can take it before things just start to get silly. As it is, the third movie will probably have to be the biggest departure from Herbert's writing in order to be consumed by a wide audience (or maybe sober audience? LOL)
If people can watch some of the Marvel movies that are being released that are very out there in concept, then they can watch Dune. It's just a question of how well you can adapt the story. Which so far is doing pretty well, certainly better than past attempts. I don't see how the second book would be a problem. Really, the clear point of high difficulty is the fourth book, that would be very difficult to adapt by comparison to the first two books.
The original marvel plots I've familiarized myself with are batshit insane.😂 I wasn't the only one who had an aneurysm when someone explained Scott Summer's powers to me.
I'm sure he's right, it's gonna get silly.
But the MCU is absolutely bonkers tits ridiculous, so I have faith in whatever attempt Villeneuve will make.😂
@@metacat3106 Well, you're not wrong about the Marvel thing -- I totally agree. But I literally don't understand the words that are coming out of your mouth otherwise. The conclusion of the second book is literally the creation of a human/worm hybrid. And you think the FOURTH book is the problem? C'mon man, I can only ask that you be reasonable.
@@mikepeterson9362 The creation of the human/worm hybrid is the third book, and while it is real weird, in the early stages it hasn't morphed his body too much, and is more like a weird suit/covering of the merged larva forms of the worms. In the fourth book the human/worm hybrid is fully developed and would be really weird looking.
31:45 And THAT is how you introduce a villain!
I heard somewhere that Austin Butler spent 4 months in Budapest, Hungary, training with a former Navy SEAL in preparation for this movie.
The best character arch of all time... from part 1 to part 2
AHHH IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR REACTION IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
They are a handful of movies that have come out recently that are must see IMAX experiences; Top Gun Maverick, The Batman, Dune and Dune Part Two.
Absolutely incredible movies, cinematic masterpieces
It wasn’t the tear that woke him up. It was the drop of the water of life that was mixed in.
The part where Paul rides the Worm for the first time is all practical, they had a stuntman ride on a physical copy of the worms top while they pelted sand at them and used a wind machine
I had been waiting for you guys to react to this for weeks. This video did not disappoint!
The "lead them to paradise" is way darker than people catch. The paradise he is talking about is the afterlife,. He told stilgar to kill them all.
To me, this felt like watching an incredible documentary! Like this was a real life adventure that we were just tagging along with. Absolutely incredible stuff for such a extravagant Sci-Fi movie, to be able to feel like this could've actually happened! 10/10, best movie I've ever seen!
to quote frank herbert the author of dune “I wrote the 'Dune' series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: 'May be dangerous to your health. '”
Denis Villanueve said he's been doing story boards for Dune since he was 13. You can tell too lol.
Yesss was waiting for yall to react to this !!! I LOVED Dune part 1 and 2
YES!!!!! HOUSE ANSWER HAS RECIEVED OUR CALL
They couldn’t use the lasers first in the scene where they first started attacking the crawlers. Lasers against shields causes a nuclear reaction. that’s why they had to use surface to air artillery to take out the copter first or it would take out the Freman with the lasers, preventing them from being able to take out the crawler.👍
The "in-universe" reason the Fremen do not use lasers to take down the ornitopter is that lasers tend to cause a nuclear explosion when hitting a shield... The harvester was not protected by a shield because while active shields tend to attract and enrage worms. So the Fremen knew it was safe to use the laser against the harvester while very dangerous to use one against the ornitopter.
Best move of the year thus far. A true epic in every sense. Can't wait to see your guys reaction.
58:10
Jessica: You chose the wrong side.
Mohiam: You of all people should know, there are no sides, Reverend Mother.
Oak right after: The baron is dead and his two nephews, talk about a power vacuum on that side.
Also Timothée Chalamet has already done some interesting movies before these 2 big ones: Call me by your name, Beautiful boy, Lady bird, The King, Little women (with Florence Pugh), The French Dispatch and more.
In the recap and review, Oak and Answer kept raving about the incredible careers of the younger actors, of course specifically Timotheé Chalamat, Florence Pugh, and Austin Butler. Mason mentioned he wasn’t super familiar with Austin Butler’s work, so for him and anyone else who doesn’t know, he recently played Elvis, and he had an interesting part as Tex in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, both of which I think could be interesting reactions for this channel.
Also, it would make me so so happy to see these guys go for another Florence/Timotheé/Saoirse Ronan film, the 2019 version of Little Women! It was remarkably well done ❤️ and even more evidence of the brilliance of these actors!
Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (the one who tested Paul with the Gom Jabbar) is Jessica's biological mother/teacher. Jessica's parentage was kept secret from her as well from the Baron. Only the higher up Reverend Mothers knew of this, no one else.
OHH I didn’t know she was Jessica’s mother. That makes sense considering their relationship in the first book.
Love your reactions as always! I went to the cinema to see it twice and both times i was glued to the screen the whole time. It looked and sounded so good on the big screen!
What a good film! I really like your reactions guys. lots of love from Brazil. I've been following you since Harry Potter
@1:15:29 - It was wild but it is because they both took on the memories of all the other reverend mothers. So the water of life awoken her and she was instantly made a wise, ancient person by taking that all on.
Paul could technically take over the Harkonnen empire since he's the only one left 🤔
Fun fact: The Atriedes member that Feyd-Rautha fights at 32:21 is actually the fight choreographer for Dune 1 and 2
Literally just a minute in and had to comment, never heard a Tremors reference like that before, the stampede one. I LOVE IT!
I described this story once as feudal medieval Islamic Asia meets feudal medieval Europe. The only question I have is who's gonna feed na baron's cannibal harem now?
This movie is crazy good, your comments were spot on Quinn!
Lol watching The Answer put his fingertips together and whispering under his breath before their first kiss is just adorable lol
The realisation in his eyes as Paul says the thing about being equal to Chani, you can see his reaction building from that moment. Love It. So nice e to see guys excited about romance in films rather than just rolling their eyes or making a joke
There are things in Dune 1 & 2 that are literally from the Islamic religion.
The whole Mahdi [Mehdi] thing, the use of the word Jihad, Leto ii and his Covenant etc.
While drawing on other religions, Herbert saw Islam as “a very strong element” of “Dune's” entire universe.
He used a lot of different religious motifs and ideas. The holy book of the time was called the Orange Catholic Bible, and the Bene Gesserit are a thinly-veiled play on the Jesuits. The surface-level details in the story lean heavily on Islam, but Herbert didn't like religion in general, not just Islam, and it shows in his writing. If anything, you see the powerful Catholic (European) Bene Gesserit manipulate the Islamic (African/Asian) Fremen through the Missionaria Protectiva as well as Paul and Jessica's own manipulations.
I am a muslim and I don't like the way some muslims are loving that he mentioned al-Mahdi and all these other stuff. On top of the fact that al-Mahdi is not a messiah who can see the future and invade other lands, he is a normal human being who is gonna be a righteous and powerful political and military leader, , the writer of the book is obviously trying to convey the idea of islam being a copy of other religions with the "beni" women being the ones who created the idea of the mahdi. The "beni" part means that they represent Judaism. In islam, there is only one messiah which is jesus pbuh.
I have such admiration & gratitude for how well done both movies are & the care that you can tell was put into making them. I've been impressed with Timothee's acting for a while, but when I watched Beautiful Boy with him and Steve Carell...I was blown away. It's a bit of a tough watch, particularly if you're close to anyone who suffers from addiction but he was INCREDIBLE in that movie & Steve put on a beautiful performance as his dad too.
That was awesome guys! Thank you for the reaction and the commentary
Its so fun watching people come into this world and love it. This is the 5th version of this I've been exposed to and I have never read the books. 2 games, a movie and mini series. I really hope they make more. There's an older Knights movie with Timothy that I was first introduced to him as an actor "The King".
It's not made very clear, but the atomics are used on the shield wall... the formation of mountains and rocks that protect the city from sand storms and worms. With the opening created by the atomics... both the storm and the worms are allowed to attack directly.
Mason, Austin Butler played Elvis in the Elvis movie. Lea Seydoux from MI4, Spectre & No Time to Die plays Margot. Part 3, Dune Genesis is coming next.
Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson and Austin Butler are scene stealers. They alone elevated this film.
Christopher Walken is a great actor that I can only see *as* Christopher Walken any more. There are a few other actors that are the same way for me (Woody Harrelson and Forest Whitaker come to mind). Nothing against their performances, but their faces and voices are so iconic that they have become characters themselves.
Also, Villenueve has announced that Dune 3 will be the last of his Dune series. (No telling what will happen when more gigantic checks are waved in his face, but right now I believe that he means it.)
I noticed the allegory between Paul and a particular religious figure that was done really well. LOVED this film, seen it in the cinema. The "turn" when he goes south doing his big speech amongst the Fremen I felt my blood pressure go up, goose bumps & it felt powerful.
Good edit so you kept a lot of the movie in, great reactions!
I saw the film in an IMAX theatre and it was the best movie experience I have ever had! Truly epic.
I've been WAITING for your reaction! ❤
