My favorite small detail is how the Shai Hulud somehow send out super powerful vibrations through the sand to cause sand liquefaction so they can swim through it like water… so cool. Also, they don’t even need to catch you directly because they can basically turn the sand you’re walking on into liquid sand and you just fall under and get trapped while they nom on ya. (For anyone curious about liquefaction, Mark Rober made a video on it. It’s called Liquid Sand Hot Tub. Mark used a different technique of blowing air up through the sand, which is different… but the end result is nearly identical. Liquefied sand is actually commonly used as a tool for jewelers or manufacturers. You get a big tub full of gritty sand and vibrate it and drop in metal parts and they swim around and get polished or cleaned in a gentle manner that allows you to do tons of small parts at the same time.

From the wiki: "The folding of space-time, which was accomplished by the practical application of the Holtzman Effect. The plotting of a safe course through folded space by a Guild Navigator, who used prescient planning induced by vast amounts of the Spice Melange." Since AI is banned in this universe, Guild Navigators ingest copious amounts of spice to essentially become living Google Maps guides.

10:20 That vocal was completely mesmerizing, even in just the trailers. 17:45 Timothée Chalamet’s acting in this scene was really impressive, and seriously gave me chills.

I took the missing spice canisters taken by the departed Harokonnen to be part of the sabotage to prevent House Atreides from delivering enough spice as dictated by the Emperor, thereby giving the Emperor justification for allowing the Harkonnen's attack (or, if caught supplying troops in the attack, justifying it because of the spice shortage). It was Villeneuve's shorthand way to speed up the attack against House Atreides relative to the pace of the book, imo.

The vision he had was not a faulty vision but an actual future where Jamis was his mentor. Same with the duel with Jamis. But as Paul develops his powers he can alter the outcome of the future.

You are precisely on the mark. Paul's powers haven't fully awakened yet but, about half an hour into the second movie by my estimate, Paul will live life like a choose your own adventure book where he knows all of the possible endings and how to get there.

Watched Dune for a second time, this re-watch was at the largest screen in the area (IMAX is like a 3 hr drive) and I noticed several things When Duncan was flying through the city I paid attention to the background, I noticed one large opening that was like 4 stories high based on the figures scurrying around the large interior which apparently was some sort of business district perhaps a shopping area since the cavernous interior was dotted with lighted signs. Furthermore outside far below was a market because it contained vendor stalls replete with awnings. I've concluded the Fremen and poor had to shop at the latter while the cities denizens shopped in the comfort of the former. The city must be populated by millions based on the sheer size, but these are not Fremen because the Harkonnens believed only 50k existed, therefore the residents are descendants of the those that settled Dune over the millennium living off the robust spice trade, akin to a Port City

Dune is one of my all time favorite books. And this series captures the scale and premise superbly. (Again...I'm a raving fan.) I loved how the sand worms are designed to look like the iris of an eye...really accentuating the whole 'inner eye' thing referenced throughout the text.

This movie was epic I can’t wait for more

@@CoryPrior999 The film is the first half of the first book (Dune, 1965) in the original 6-book Dune series by Frank Herbert. Frank died in 1986. Then from 1999 to present, his son Brian Herbert along with Kevin J Anderson have written an additional 15 Dune books, with another scheduled for next year. Many people do not see these as canon, and they are generally regarded as being greatly inferior to Frank's works. Many of Brian's books are prequals or expand on lore from the originals.

Saw this in 3D the first time in years I've done that. It was amazing. So much better than the one in 1984. I am a big fan of the books and this one is much more in line with that.

This is by far the best and most detailed review of Dune 2021. I felt stunned after watching it, and in a good way. I've never watched a movie back to back ever, until Dune. Well done Erik, this review just takes our appreciation of the art of Denis to another level. Timothee is a glove fit Paul Atreidis, RIP Duncan Idaho.

Poe at it again

My take from Paul's visions is him seeing parallel universes which would allow him to see all mistakes he has made in the future so he can be a better leader. It also makes sense as to why Paul couldn't kill the freman soldier since in one of his visions that freman soldier is his friend that thought him the ways of arakis.

Not sure if you’ve read the books but his future vision shows him the branches that happen as a result of actions. He can see which path leads to which but sometimes the choice is between a hard path and an impossibly hard path

I don't interpret his erratic visions as unreliable so much as he is viewing possible future events that depend on him taking certain actions. He doesn't take those actions, and those visions never come to pass.

When I heard about this movie I was so apprehensive, given the track record of previous adaptations. Seeing Jason Mamoa as Duncan Idaho I felt better about it. Now that I've seen the movie, I have to say that it is an almost flawless retelling. I've read the original books dozens of times and almost everything added or missing to this serves to make the movie better. Though the lack of mention of the machine crusade makes me think there's no plan to make any movies past Children of Dune.

Bless the maker and his water. Bless his coming and his going. May his passing cleanse the world. May he keep the world safe for his people.

I haven't seen the film, but I've been a "book Dune" fan since the early/mid 70s. Love your channel! I've read/listened to the books so many times, that I expect to have a few wft moments. But modern cinema has the best hope of capturing Herbert's vision. So pleased that Villeneuve took on the challenge, love his work.

i literally would’ve watched 6 hours of this film. very excited for part two.

Thank you for pointing out that in the movie they use the Guild Highliners as wormholes! I noticed this tree first time I watched the movie built you are the first person I have seen on KZread that has pointed it out!

Just rewatched yesterday in preparation for part two. Such a beautiful movie from start to finish.

Thank you for the explanations it really helped me follow the story! 🙂

Those "portals" are actually Spacing Guild Heighliners - they're absolutely MASSIVE spaceships which dwarf the other ships they carry, and are the sole means of interstellar travel in the universe

In this depiction, they don’t actually have to “carry” anything. They are basically stable, manmade wormholes. Imagine how an emperor could control the planets when his Sardaukar can traverse light years just by flying through a gigantic tube, not needing to load or unload ships from docks. It’s kind of a scary concept.
