These movies actually wear me out😅 maybe it's because it feels I'm binging a miniseries. The story is very linear and easy to follow but there is a LOT going on. The movie feels like eating double whopper instead of a normal one. It still tastes great but it is a bit too heavy. I really think they could have condensed the first movie a bit more. I am completely unfamiliar with the series or the books. But I get the feeling that Dune is not a story you can just fit into a film or two. It's clearly a very rich and dense story that maybe needs to be a high budget series.

The main reason the Fremen didn’t use their lasguns in the beginning of the ambush scene was because they had to eliminate the shielded gunship first. They were attacking the harvester in open desert and had *zero* cover, which means the Harkonnen air support would quickly home in and kill the vulnerable lasgun teams the moment they fired and gave away their positions. The Fremen were forced to fight hand-to-hand and take the only cover available to them in that situation, the harvester itself. The cover of the harvester then gave their rocket team (Paul and Chani) the time and protection they needed to set up and reload in case they missed or failed to penetrate the thopter’s shield with their first shot. Which is exactly what happened. Attempting to take on that deadly ornithopter from out in the open would’ve probably been suicide.

@immortaljanus

They used lasguns in the first fight up on the mountain because Harkonnens were exposed and alone. The Harkonnen officer explicitly said "No shields!" because if one of them hit, it would blow up the entire mountain and everyone on it. In the fight around the spice harvester, Fremen had their own people close by so using lasguns wouldn't be prudent.

Chani knew the whole time that she would never marry Paul. She also knew he would be faithful to her and she would be the only woman to have his kids. The marriage to Irulan was for status alone and Paul never sleeps with her. The most book accurate version is the 2000 SyFy channel Dune.

Mr Movie's face was all of us in theaters

When Mrs. Movies said “I hate those things.” It reminded me of when Chris Farley and David Spade are dealing with the bat in Black Sheep and Farley says “I hate those damn things.” 😂

The absolute final line in the novel, that explains the situation magnificently, is Jessica, speaking to Chani, who is totally on board with Paul needing to take Irulan in a political marriage, in order to shore up his ascension to the imperial throne. She says, "Think on it Chani: that princess will have the name, yet she'll live as 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." This film rather unnecessarily convolutes Chani's character arc, in Denis Villenueve's words, to "show that Paul is not necessarily a hero", as the later novels definitely show the more terrible side of Muad'Dib's Jihad across the universe. In the novels, Chani is in total understanding of the political necessity of Paul's actions, and is supportive.

“She’s wasting her water” You may really be Freman!

Jessica was never the wife of Paul’s father. She was his concubine. Chani will be the same to Paul.

The reveal of Anya Taylor Joy as Alia was amazing. Before They announce Florence Pugh as Iruline many fans wanted Anya to play her. So her being cast as Alia was a sweet treat.

They can’t use lasers (lasguns) whenever they want because if a lasgun hits a shield, you get the equivalent of a nuclear explosion which will also destroy the person with the lasgun. So first you have to take out anything that’s shielded.

This Chani is blindsided by the marriage thing. In the book, she's aware of the why of it, and they explain it to her to make her feel better.

The scene with Chani supposedly bringing Paul back to life isn't so much about the tears themselves as it is about the fact that Chani's other name, Syihaya, means Desert Spring which perfectly matches the prophecy which says Paul will be brought back to life with "Desert Spring Tears".

The movie doesn't tell what the book says straightfully: Paul states that although the Princess will marry him, he will not give her any child not will she share his bed. That priviledge will remain Chani's only. In the book, that second part takes over two years. That movie spans that over just a few months.

Sure would suck if all the noble houses forgot that the empire runs on spice and called Paul's bluff... And Paul's like 'Ah, you got me guys, I love Spice! Go to paradise instead!' 😅 It's like the movie itself forgets that 'power over spice is power over all'. Even if Paul's nuke plan wouldn't eliminate spice production entirely (he says he's booby trapped spice fields, not pre-spice mass), they risk a universal spice drought and everyone who uses it to live longer is going to age, every planet that relies on supplies from offworld will suffer, and trade will grind to a halt in favor of spice rationing... I still prefer the book version where he intends to flood pre-spice masses with water, poisoning all the sand-trout and killing an entire generation of worms, disrupting the entire ecology of Arrakis 😱 The Fremen still kill everyone, but for different reasons... 😬

Those who need the spice won’t only start to age normally again if they don’t get it. The books state that once you start taking spice, you NEED to keep taking it or else you die a slow, painful death. Spice is extremely addictive and withdrawals are fatal for all. This was one of the main reasons why Paul’s Jihad was successful and why the death toll was so high. Once he controlled Arrakis, he controlled the spice. When he controlled the spice, he controlled the Spacing Guild. Controlling the Guild means he controlled all interstellar travel and trade in the Imperium. Any worlds who resisted or refused to fall in line were simply cut off from receiving vital resources and spice. This lead to billions dying of starvation and fatal withdrawals all across the galaxy. Entire planets were easily subjugated this way.

When I first went to Alice, my party and I were in a shuttle bus when I first saw the ridge and gap. I explained to my companions that we were seeing the Shield Wall and we were going to pass through the gap that was created by use of the family atomics, allowing an invading force to ride giant sand worms into the town. Those who had read Dune smiled knowingly.

Not entirely right. The religion in Dune is a blending of Christianity, Islam and Biddhism. That's why their holy book is called the Orange Catholic Bible

If you use a laser on a sheild you get a nuclear explosion. That's why laser guns aren't generally used. On Arrakis ground vehicles and people can't be shielded as it drives the worms into a killing frenzy.

it's too easy to forget (or not catch onto the fact in the first place) that when his mom became the revered mother she also inherited all of the memories of those before her. and so did her unborn daughter. she became pure fremen.

i would like to point out, that paul let himself get injured as to make the fight look more entertaining, he knew every move that feyd would do, he was trained by the Bene Gesserit who are the best warriors in the known universe. and paul has the power of enhanced healing via bene gesserit prana bindu nerve training

If you haven't done The Life of Brian, you definitely should. (If you know, you know.) 9:35 It doesn't get explained here, and I'm not even sure if it's officially explained in the books, but apparently the Fremen were hoarding water in order to attempt to re-green Arrakis. Arrakis wasn't always a desert - it's not clear to me from the books, but I figured it must have started to desertify well before living memory - but the presence of the sandworms and the way their larvae interact with water essentially caused Arrakis to become a desert, as well as producing the spice, which is pretty much the only reason anyone bothers with Arrakis at all. (I also got the implication that the sandworms aren't indigenous to Arrakis, but were introduced to produce spice.) The Fremen intend to re-green the planet to make it more habitable, which is going to take a *lot* of water (and even more if they need to kill off some of the worms to do it).

In the book Pauls sister was born before the Emperor was called to Dune & she was the one that killed his grandfather so the 1984 version is more accurate. I am not that concerned about book accuracy as it is all but impossible to make a film 100% true to the book so I am more concerned that it conveys the & good version of the book which this series has done & covers the diversions with really impressive narrative. As for book to movie diversions Chani knew what was coming when Paul took the Princess as a wife as he had told her & Paul's mother had said to her "While only concubines, history would record Us as the wives" so the look between the Princess & Chani was; Chani 'You are nothing' & the Princess knowing it.

"It should be a mini-series." It is one! In fact, the answer to the question "Which adaptation of Dune is the closest to the books?" The answer is the Syfy Miniseries Dune and Dune Messiah!

It seems like the only direction Christopher Walken was given was to NOT act like Christopher Walken.

Fortunately this movie, along with Godzilla x Kong are the only movies who succeeded in the Box Office in this year of letdowns.

Austin Butler did an interview on Graham Norton and when asked about his look he said he couldn't shave his head because he had another movie right after so it was a prosthetic that was made in one piece that went from the back of his head over his head and over his eyebrows. Took 3 hours to put it on and he said if it even slightly misaligned at the front he wasn't able to close his eyes.

29:35 Because it’s not just a filter, it was filmed using an infrared camera.

"why don't they just use that laser for everything?" because the Harkonnens are using shields. if a laser hits a shield, it creates feedback that superheats everything around and triggers a nuclear explosion.

At the beginning of the movie when they kill the Harkonnen officer first, notice how it is not a laser, it's a maula slug. Then as soon as he drops dead they open up with lasers. They were checking if their shields were on.

The Harkonnens planet Giedi Prime has a black sun. Only infrared light reaches the surface.

lasers don't work on shields..... "only the slow blade penetrates the shield"..... shields can't be used on the surface of Arrakis because it sends worms into a killing frenzy..... harvesters action attracts worms but not as quick as a shield would. ornithopters in air are ok. using lasers on the harvesters would alert the ornithopter to the lasers position for a quick blast from their guns..... harvesters are unarmed and eventually eaten by worms if not picked up.

They didn't try to detroy the prophecy they created it over the past 400-500 years.

She's starting to grow on me. When I first starting watching this channel, she was like the "Movie Mannequin". She had this completely blank look on her face for entire movies, zero sign of reaction or personality. But she's finally becoming a bit more animated. In this movie, she's a bit annoying. Despite the characters saying the word like dozens of times, and after watching 6 hours of Dune, she still says "Freeman." and not Fremen, no matter what her husband says.

One thing not explained about why the Freman didn't use the lasguns (lasers) against the thopter they took down was because lasers and shields in the dune universe have an extremely energetic reaction to the point the two feedback on each other and produce equivalent of a nuclear explosion. Furthermore the explosion can happen at any random point between the weapon and target so is just as likely to kill the user as much as the target. They had to take down the thopter first before that thing flew in the beam and produced the feared laser explosion.

They dont use laser weapons all the time because of Shields. If there are shields in play a laser causes a mini nuclear explosion as a reaction on contact with a laser weapons. That's why the unit in the beginning shouted no shields when they got ambushed. It is explained in the books as they only vaguely imply it in the first film when the Atredies are attacked

to have a legitimate claim to the throne Paul had to marry Irrulian, its part of the culture its also why Jessica didn't marry Leto he had to keep the option of a political marriage open. this kind of thing still happens, the current King of the UK had a choice he could marry the woman he actually loved and not take the crown or do what he did do which was marry Diana and stay in line for the Throne.

There is the mouse: him "oh cute!" her "😐"

3:12 Alright, call it! Mrs. Movies wins the Reaction.🤣

There was another Dune film that came out in 2000. It was a mini series from the Sci Fi channel if you like the story of Dune, but can forgive a lower production budget.

They cannot use lasers (they call them lasguns) when there are shields near by, as laser hitting energy shields creates atomic blast on both ends. Apparently sometimes they are willing to risk when topters with shields are still flying above crawlers. But usually they want to take out everything with shields first. This is explained in the book a few times, but they didn't think to mention this in the movie for some reason.

Paul used the Voice in a way that politicians use it- extrapolate from FDR, Lincoln, Churchill, etc… inspirational speeches that won wars. I think this is what Frank Herbert thought of as an evolution of this ability.

The complaints about this movie, seeing Paul as stupid for resisting his fate, seeing nothing wrong with becoming the villain if it gets you what you want. To save his Mother and himself Paul sacrifices hundreds of millions of lives, and those people die in pretty horrific ways.

As a heavy reader of the Frank Herbert book series, my favorite adaptation was "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune". The science fiction television miniseries. It covers books 2 and 3.

there were 2 series that covered roughly 2.5 books worth of info done by SyFy back in the early 2000s, it is honestly the closest book translation that was done those are Frank Herbert's Dune (2000) and Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (2002) they don't have the effects budget that these movies have, but they are worth checking out and would love to see you guys react to those also

In this book series there is a violent reaction between their "lasguns" and a shield. If a laser hits a shield the yield is worse than a nuclear explosion. That is why on the ground they fight mainly with blades, guns and laser are useless.

Which version is more accurate to the books is really a mixed bag. '84 follows the books timeline and Chani's role better, but adds things like the weirding modules. This one hasbetter parts with Stilgar, the Harkonnens and such, but adds Chani's skepticism. All have their deviations because the books are probably unfilmable in pure form because so much is happening in the characters heads.

YOU ALMOST SAID " WAR NEVER CHANGES" For Dune Intro

How to get off a worm in motion ? in the book the hooks open a segment to the sand, the worm avoids this by rotation and you go on top ofthe worm like that....later get the hooks off the worm segment, wait for the worm to sink in the sand, and you can jump out ! in the book...pity the movie is not showing this !

The reason they don't use the lasers all the time it's because if a laser comes into contact with a shield it makes like a nuclear explosion so they had to take down the shielded ornithopter before they could risk using the lasers to destroy the spice Harvester

1.43 IMAX aspect ratio is only found in full Imax theatres. People say Dune needs theatrical treatment because Dune uses the IMAX screen and cinema speakers to their absolute maximum potential. This is in the highest echelon movies in terms of technical achievement of audio and video presentation. Also the entire octave lower sound of a Dolby or Imax theatre cannot be replicated at smaller scale.

27:24 The arena scene is in black and white because the Harkonnen's home planet, Giedi Prime, is under a black sun.

“How do you get off ?!?” That’s a very personal question.

Almost pissed myself at 7:16 "Not right now" strait faced as well

While I don't think Christopher Walken was maybe the best choice for emperor, he was also the best choice for emperor. For the simple matter that he was in the music video for Fatboy Slim's - Weapon of Choice, which of course refers to Dune.

They did not use the lasers from the get go, when they attacked the harvester, because of the ornithopter, wich would have taken them out as soon as they reveal their position. And because of how the shields work they could not shoot it down with the lasers either. The shields block every fast moving physical thing like bullets and fast strikes, but hitting it with a laser would basicly trigger a nuclear explosion on both ends of the beam.That´s why most of the fighting is done with swords.

Paul's sister was born fully awake with all of the knowledge of that her mother has. I recommend that you watch the 2000 Mini-Series DUNE. I am going to re-read the book. I think this part strayed away from the book more. Paul and Chani had a son who was killed by the Harkonnen.

The Harkonnen planet revolves around a black sun, that's why they're in black and white.

"How do you get off?" Mrs. Movies out here asking the real questions.

16:22 In the books, shooting a laser at a shield causes a reaction akin to an nuclear explosion, therefore lasers aren't used in warfare. Changing that does create a pretty big plothole, indeed...

17:38 they don't say it in the movie But in the book if a laser strikes a shielded object the laser and the shielded object both are destroyed and in small nuclear explosion. Plus the 'thopter would have turned its guns on the person with the laser. So until the shielded vehicles are taken out you can't use your lasers. In the first movie the Saudaukar firing lasers at the shielded 'thopter are willing to kill themselves.

The thopter shields were apparently disabled by a rocket strike in that scene. There’s a shot from inside the cockpit where you hear an alarm blaring and his screens flashing red after Duncan was hit. The Harkonnen’s only open up with a las weapon after this happens.

For all you commenters saying 'You've got to see this in theatres': You're absolutely right! Seeing this at home vs seeing this in a proper theatre, is like the difference between seeing a partial solar eclipse with most of the sun covered vs seeing a total solar eclipse where all of the sun is covered.

The Atreides had color on their planet.

The most faithful adaptation of the book is the television miniseries so if you want to compare this movie to the books it is a good alternative if you don't want to read them. I think a couple major things about Channi and Paul's relationship that were not included in this movie were that Liet was Chani's father (Liet was a man in the book) and as mentioned the books covered years so it was enough time for Pual and Channi to have a son who was killed when the Harkonnens attacked the Fremen prior to their going south. These two things bonded Chani and Paul through grief as both their fathers and their son were killed by the Harkonnens.

12:25 she was speaking chakobsa, the fremen language. If she was using the voice it would be all distorted / extra voices and lots of bass. Biggest hint is Paul just being confused why she is saying that, if it was the voice he would’ve gotten that blank thousand mile stare and stood up to search for the water of life for a few seconds The BG are t4ned extensively in languages they might need in tactical situations

Im still wondering why Villeneuve decided to keep the Spacing Guild`s involvement into the conspiracy against the Atreides completely out of his movies. Afterall, the emperor and the baron only agreed on Duke Leto´s death. It was the Spacing Guild which specifically demanded Paul´s death as singular requirement for their approval of the whole operation. Because their navigators foresaw in their spice visions that the duke´s son would somehow become some kind of a grave threat for them in the future.
