One thing I really like about the lore and this depiction of it is that it doesn't shy away from the difficulty and scale of interstellar travel.

The need to have people to rely upon to run a real state, as opposed to a dictatorship like the Harkonnens, is indeed something the Atreides get right. Unfortunately Thufir Hawat, Master of Assassins is getting old and has already failed his Duke. His own principle of 'The first step in avoiding a trap is knowing of it's existence' is forgotten. The Atreides being sent to Arrakis is indeed a trap, intended to rid the Emperor of a popular man. Perhaps the second Dune film will address the whole other start of the books that wasn't in this one. Perhaps we'll also get to meet Count Fenring, the Emperor's favourite candidate for his throne.

Duke Leto had planned everything out, he was just expecting the Harkonnen attack to happen after the first CHOAM audit and wanted to have five Fremen battalions ready before then. Thufir estimated that the Harkonnens would send 4-5 battalions due to troop transport costs. Even a full attack would have been about ten brigades. Instead the Harkonnens attacked within 3 weeks of Duke Leto's arrival and sent one hundred brigades. The rough cost of transporting all those troops was all of the Arrakis spice profits for fifty years and the Harkonnens had been there for eighty years. Thufir severely underestimated how much the Harkonnens hated the Atreides.

I mean, a good amount of people are still very close to that. The idea that someone just knows what to do is extremely appealing. To be fair though, a liege lord also had a lot of duties. At least in Germanic Europe, every free man had to take up arms if a war was going on. A serf didn't have to. For many, especially if people were somewhat wealthy, it simply made sense to give up a few freedoms in return of getting out of military service. Letting a caste of trained warriors handle the fighting and dying was a good deal for many people. On the reverse, the idea of self-determination came with having to actually take up that responsibility again. The French overthrew their kings and then had to actually take up arms to defend their country again, essentially. It just so happened that firing a gun is a whole lot easier than learning how to swing a sword and kill someone in actual close combat, so it mostly worked out. It's a bit oversimplified of course, but the lower ranks of feudal systems weren't just submissive slaves. They had their reasons. And while I wouldn't want to live in that system, there were guard rails and balances there. And as you said, the "patriotism" someone might feel really wasn't any different from someone who feels patriotism for their country. Obviously people feel more patriotic for a just ruler or for a country that has a well working democratic government and hate it if it's run by the shitty son or the corrupt party. The problem with feudalism really isn't following the orders of one guy, if he's competent. It's that if your great-grandfather gave up certain rights to his great-grandfather a century ago, you're still bound to that decision. Even if you would be happy to fight for your freedom and your current lord is a fat bastard who didn't worked a day in his life.

Something interesting to point out is that it seems that the spaceships have no windows, so the tripulation (excluding the ones responsible for flying the ship, they might have radars or similar) doesn't see anything until they land and the gates open. It makes the fact that they hold hands more meaningful, they don't know what awaits them on the other side

Everyone's pointed out that the Guild heighliners look like sand worms, but I also realize now that the Atreides starships look like whales. Such a neat nod to their origins on the water world of Caladan.

I love Oscar Isaac's acting as gets off the ramp and strides unto Arrakis. Duke Leto looks like he's getting into a fighting ring minutes before a difficult match, a mix between aggression and bracing himself.

This movie is just perfect, music, visuals, vfx, characters and their interaction through all the movie.

I just read the 2nd Dune book, Messiah. And now this scene fills me with dread about what's to come. Them arriving on Arrakis is the first reaction in a chain that will span farther than anyone in this scene can know

I look forward to seeing what he does with that book considering how amazing this one is.

I only recently noticed the dust cloud made by the horns when they blow at 3:27. One of those little details.

God bless Hans Zimmer and his epic bagpipe chorus. What an awesome way to show House Atreides projecting royalty and might. This movie seems so perfectly arranged with awesome attention to detail in every scene. Can't wait for part 2.

Ngl this movie despite having subtle fight scenes it was a wonderful tease on how big the dune world really is

This film will eventually find it's place among the other masterpieces ever to be filmed. It's full of soul and has a certain artistic vision, it's not just a bunch of beautiful scenes made for short term publicity.

I think the actor who says "shield" at 0:37 is the Atreides gladiator who is killed by Feyd Rautha

• Don’t land your entire fleet . • don’t concentrate all your forces in one location. • the shield generator should be guarded by enough men and weapons to withstand 10 minutes of attack. • Air patrols should be constant. • QRF units should always be on stand by. • look outs should be positioned throughout your base with their hand on the alarm. • split your entire fighting force into 6-4 hour shifts and have them pull roaming guard duty throughout your base. You do all this and more when you’re expecting an attack.

Yea they were well prepared. Just not for the scale of the attack. Huge brief and bloody battles raged overnight. Paul and Jessica can hear Atreides comms when escaping, their military doing what they can but standing absolutely no chance against overwhelming force. They did put up a fight. Took down many Harkonnen and even some Sardaukar. One unit warms the rest there are Sardaukar in Atreides uniforms, meaning they got ambushed but survived and killed the Sardaukar.

Also Sardaukar were the 1st to rush the Atreides mansion, and there were dead in Harkonnen and Atreides uniforms lying around in the aftermath. So Letos guards get surprised in the night by the best warriors in the universe sneaking in undetected - and they still take some of them down.

Duncan literally explains it was a global attack across every settlement on arrakis, its why Baron Harkonnen complains about the cost of the force he had to bring, the atreides weren't all in one place, and their were patrols the Harkonnens had agents with a full description and layout of their security ( as the movie pretty much explains) the atreides were overwhelmed and destroyed, Sardaukar are built for sneak attacks and deception And the atreides forces held out for awhile many of them even fought sardaukar and won before being overwhelmed by sheer weight of number

The ships and the ornithopters are mostly filmed with humans in the frame so we have a sense of scale. The shot with the spaceships casting a giant shadow on the crowd is particularly great. Unfortunately, many moves miss this important aspect. What's the point in having grandiose scale if you can't feel it?

Long live Duke Leto!!!

the music is awesome!!! those strange notes (for a pipe) were fantastic!!!

the 2nd scene that sold me on the movie whole watching. so much world building with few words of even visuals. you sensed the history of the great house...and how little it mattered now...but why the emperor would fear them

After Dune 2, seeing that the high ranking officer who ordered, “Shields.” Was one of the prisoners that Feyd Rautha fought in the gladiatorial fight and nearly beat him. Of course we knew he wasn’t going to win, but we know Atreides fighters are the finest in the imperium!

What shocks me is that a move that is so grand in scale, and has all the set-pieces for Dune with someone directing it who obviously read the book, and who respects the book, who put in the effort to tell the story of the book, made an adaptation that felt incomplete at the same time. Not because this is only the first part of Dune, not because I am excited to see more, but that there was a huge amount missing from it that is needed to understand the work.

It would be an IMPOSSIBLE undertaking to adapt everything, every detail, to a film format. Even television might not be able to fully encompass all the details of Dune. Like, yes, it would be nice to get the info that the Harkonnens set themselves back 50 years of profits for that invasion, or that a tooth of Shai Hulud gets brittle and breaks if not warmed by body heat, or the fact that all of this takes place thousands of years after the A.I. Jihad-- but that stuff ultimately is minutia that a film doesn't need to get into. The story is there, the essence of Dune is there. It's a brilliant film.
