Dune: Part 1 - Movie Review 

"If Dune part two doesn't happen... I'm gonna lose it." Well there's a ringing endorsement of a film if ever there was one

"It's not a MOVIE you watch, it's a WORLD you experience." Hot damn

"If Dune: Part Two doesn't happen.... I'm gonna lose it." Thank God they announced Part Two today, then!

Looks like Dune 2 is, “all but confirmed”. It exceeded box office expectations. I want it now!!!

“Cinematic blue balls” could not have been more accurate.

The visuals and sound design were outstanding. Everytime Zimmer blasts his bombastic score alongside the majestic sceneries that shroud the screen I felt literal shivers. Denis knows how to work sci-fi epicness

this movie is 10x better when you've read the book. Especially because it softens the blow of the story being cut off. Like, you aren't left completely hanging, you've just gotten an epic audio-visual representation of the book you love

“If Dune Part two doesn’t happen…I’m gonna lose it” bruh I couldn’t agree with you more. 😂

"Orgasmic audio-visual odyssey of galactic proportions" and "cinematic blue balls" surprisingly are the two expressions that describe this movie perfectly

When Zendaya’s character said, “This is only the beginning.” I got chills. I really love this movie! It’s so epic, and I just want to know more about this world. This is my first experience with Dune and I gotta say I’m into it. Lol

I can think of two movies that were shot all desert (in recent times) 1.dune 2.mad max. Mad max was a great action film, but when I was watching it, I was so underwhelmed by how boring the desert was to look at. I thought I was going to be in for more boring scenery because mad max showed me how boring sand really is. But damn was I wrong, the cinematography was absolutely stunning, it has to be seen in theaters to be truly appreciated. I loved the way the sand moves during the worm scenes and not only was it a visual treat, it had motivation. All in all this film was masterful in almost every aspect (I was a little disappointed with the lack of lore, considering the source material) but an absolute joy to watch. Technically perfect, immaculate set design, scored by a living legend and one of the greatest works of sci-fi done justice. Please watch this film so we can get another one.

My favorite critic review was 4.5/5 stars. "Fundamentally Dune is about hanging out in the desert with your mom and gradually becoming more powerful than her. And this is a film that understands that."

“If Dune part two doesn’t happen.. I’m gonna lose it” so this movie failing would be Jeremy’s Joker origin

It feels like a long time since i actually watched a movie worthy of the "awesometacular" title. I really loved this movie! Im glad we're getting part 2.

I went to Dune with my wife and she's usually not into SciFi, but after this she kept talking about the movie. It was absolutely amazing and we can't wait for part 2 :)

Every scene of Blade runner 2049 looked phenomenal, glad it continues here

It's incredibly funny that there are some idiots and ingnorance complain that Dune is a "Star Wars rip off" when the original book came out years before the original Star Wars. Dune inspired a lot of sci fi movies including Star Wars, even Denis Villeneuve himself said that most of SW's main ideas came from Dune and it's true. And the best part is, it has inspired a lot of generation and it's gonna continue to inspire more, the book is timeless masterpiece. Dune did it first not Star Wars. Star Wars wouldn't have exists if it wasn't for Dune. Dune was way ahead of its time

Man all these comments are like "this movie was orgasmic" but I was kinda underwhelmed. I knew the story from the books, felt like a bunch of characters were underdeveloped. Very solid 7/10

I’m from the future.. part 2 came out… it’s a beautiful masterpiece

I can’t believe he actually made a movie that lived up to the books. The world building is second to none. Watch this at the cinema or even better at the IMAX

Alright guys, lets save Jeremy's sanity, everyone pay for this one and make this movie a hit

What a flipping RIDE!! Just finished the movie. Never read the books so didn't know if I'd go see this movie in theaters. But sooo glad I did! Such a beautiful epic... Part 1

idk how people like this movie so much, fell asleep half way through

"It's not a movie you watch, it's a world you experience." Enough said. 🤜🏽🤛🏾

" He that controls the Spice, controls The Universe" Anyone here that likes to read, read The Dune books. It's The Lord of The Rings of Sci-fi

Seeing this movie reminded me of how much I loved going blindly in to see lord of the rings. Everything about this movie felt so organic and colossal in the way the scenes were represented. I got subtle reminders of Star Wars and the matrix when they were setting that Paul could be ‘The One.’ The costumes were amazing as well, all the pieces were so unique and visceral to look at. I teared up at certain parts of the movie, especially when the father dies and the mothers anxiety toward her sons fate also made me feel vulnerable. I could go on and on but I haven’t experienced a movie like this in a long time and I’m glad I went in blindly just as I did to lord of the rings and enjoyed every minute of it.

Just watched it, this was truly an immersive movie. The world building was great and cant wait for part 2

Lol Jeremy kinda looks like discount Oscar Isaac

“It’s not a movie you watch, it’s a world you experience.” - It’s shit like this that makes you my go-to movie critic. Solid review dude 🤙🏽🤙🏽

The director said that they wanna make it a three part movie. It would be up there with one of the best trilogies ever made. Part 2 is already confirmed.

Dune Part II has now been confirmed. Jeremy can now rest at ease.

I loved it, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the tears from Paul after he killed Jamis. If my memory serves, the Fremen were amazed that he wept for the dead - "He gives his water for the dead." I don't know - I just think that was such a powerful piece of the book.

Now I understood what the spice mines are when Threepio mentioned it in A New Hope.

Couldn’t agree more with all that was said. I entered the theater a bit skeptical and left absolutely awestruck. This is - without question - my favorite movie of 2021.

There was only one visual in the movie that seemed fake: a court yard with questionable palm trees. The rest was stunning. Also, after the ending of this movie, sticking to the book, there's a time jump, so, for better and for worse, this ending was the natural place to end the movie

“I could have phrased that better - I’m not re-filming that.” You’re the Jason Momoa of movie critics, bringing that heart and humanity that’s necessary!

"... Could have phrased that better. Not re-filming it." It's little bits of free style like this that I love about Jeremy 😆😆

That Gom Jabbar scene tho was everything. And I loved the shield they would use in their fights.

I like how there's 2 parts to this review. Clever. Lol.

"Cinematic blue balls" is the best way to describe the feeling coming out of that movie. Well said.

I would’ve watched another 2-3 hours easily. It was so good.

Just saw it today. This movie takes the "every frame a painting" idea VERY literally. It's so fucking gorgeous !

Right after watching this movie I was like "damn, I wanna watch that again." I can't believe I have to wait another 2(or more??) years before the second installment! I'm gonna go crazy.

This film has to been seen more than once. So good.

Please, PLEASE, go see this fucking movie. It's been out here in Europe for about a month and it's insanely good. Go watch it in the biggest screen you can, you won't regret it. And we need part 2. Edit: I'm sad so many of you thought this movie was boring. I guess I can see why but I disagree with you. I personally think it's a masterpiece.

ik this man was gonna say he loved it when he was grinning ear to ear in the thumbnail lol

It's apparently blowing away expectations at the box office. And that's with HBO max being able to watch. It's FANTASTIC. And I'm sure a part 2 will be made. It'll be a mistake if it doesn't. Edit: Can we also get this director on Star Wars? please?

The most disappointing thing about this movie is that it covers only 300 pages of the first book. But it’s a vintage Villeneuve movie and easily one of the best movies of 2021

I literally just got out of the theater. This movie was bloody amazing. It is a serious science fiction epic presented with all sincerity and not a single wink at the camera, something we really don't get very often. If Dune part 2 somehow does not happen, the entire executive board should be stuffed in a canon and fired into the sun.

I have literally been waiting 2 years for Jeremy Jahns to say "DUNE IS AWESOMETACULAR"

I love how massive everything feels. I felt like if I was in this universe. I would be little more than a spec in the background. Everything feels so grand.

Momoa did amazing. His casting was iffy for me but I was pleasantly surprised

I was genuinely impressed by this movie, which shocked me. I grew up reading all six of the "Dune" books and it's one of my favorite series of all time. But I thought the sheer magnitude and scope of the first book alone was impossible to turn into a good movie. Very happy to see I was wrong. One aspect of the movie I really enjoyed was that, unlike the other film and miniseries attempts, they actually touch on the plot element of the "Missionaria Protectiva," which is the policy of the Bene Gesserit to basically invent religions and superstitions on less advanced worlds so their members can manipulate the locals if the need arises. This matters a lot to me, because the previous attempts to film Dune tend to ignore this extremely important element of the story. This often leads to the inaccurate criticism that Paul is embodying the elements of a cliche "messianic" or "mighty whitey" trope by apparently fulfilling the realities of the Fremens' magical savior prophecy. The whole point of the books is that, of course he fulfills the elements of the Fremens' prophesized savior. The entire prophecy was bullshit invented by foreign powers so that those who were aware (ex. Lady Jessica) of it could manipulate them to their own ends. The entire point of Paul supposedly being the "Voice from the Outer World" is that messiah prophecies are idiotic and cults of personality are dangerous.

This honestly feels like the first 'Awesometacular' you've given out in a while.

PART 2 HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED LET'S GO

I’ve never ever felt more immersed in a movie EVER. To me this movie was flawless. This was true cinema!

The movie was like 2 and a half hours long and I still left the theater wanting MORE! Can't wait for Part Two.

Saw this last night. The experience is so immersive! Slow burn but the pace really picks up quickly. Do yourself a favor and see it on the largest screen possible. You really feel the scale of the sandworm and its frightening to imagine. Absolute treat for the eyes. Every single frame is gorgeous and visually satisfying. Fingers crossed for part 2.

Just watched it yesterday and it felt like a dream you don't want to end. It was beautiful

To be honest I loved this movie. A sort of fresh cinematic joyride with wonderful shots and music. I loved the parallelism of whenever people are running it’s always a far away shot. It’s calm yet fascinating, you really have to have the persistence to watch the full movie. It’s not overstimulating, you really get to enjoy it

"On every level, it justifies its existence." Music to my ears.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Jeremy this excited! Lol this feels like Jeremy from a couple years back

*I just finished watching Dune about 20 mins ago. I knew nothing about it going in other than the fact that several respected cinephiles love it. I was so thrilled to see this masterpiece of cinema I’m tearing up. THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR. Great, passionate cinema!!!!*

I can confirm, part two happend... AND IT WAS EPIC!!!

Please, everyone who hasn’t seen Dune yet, see it. We need part 2.

There's no way they don't make a part 2. Everyone is loving this movie. I'm seeing it this weekend and leaving it on repeat on HBO max.

Just finished watching it...made me feel like i should have just read the book...im not gonna pretend like i enjoyed the film...the film doesnt really gave me anything memorable and doesnt really got me hyped for a second one...

I've always been of the opinion that Dune needed to be an HBO (or other streaming service) series akin to Game of Thrones. There is WAY too much story to adapt as a movie, even a two part movie. That said, Villeneuve's version was about as good as possible given the time limitations he has to work with

Dune is so beyond beautiful and immense and just…. Purely art, that it absolutely DEMANDS a sequel. If it didn’t get a sequel it would be the biggest crime in cinema since the Last Airbender

its wild how little Zendaya is in the film even though she's all over the advertising campaign

Watched it yesterday, and it is easily one of the best audio visual experiences I have ever seen. Top three. As an avid fan of Frank Herbert, I feel it did justice to the source material in as much as it could. (I do agree, this probably should have been a several season series). I am pretty certain part two will be made, but if not.... I will give up on Hollywood.

Great review i watched it on imax with laser here in london and loved it, even better now knowing part 2 is officially going ahead.

First time Jeremy called a movie “Orgasmic” - definitely watching it. UPDATE - So I watched it today (a day later). And….it’s the best movie I’ve seen in 2021 yet. It has LOTR level of world building, direction and cinematography. Blown away by the excellence at display. Don’t miss it guys! 🤯

Some complain about Timotheé Chalamet not being like the Paul they wanted, but if you actually read the book, he’s pretty spot-on! He’s kind & smart, but also reluctant and troubled with emotions, and Chalamet seems to nail that with his performance.

What I've noticed many Trilogies have their own "Empire strikes back" so maybe next part of Dune would be the best Proof- Dark knight Trilogy -The Dark knight Godfather Trilogy -Godfather part 2 Lord of the Rings -Return of the King Avengers -Infinity war Just an Assumption don't take it seriously

It ended half way through! The visuals were stunning, as was the soundtrack, but all in all, the David Lynch version was superior.

For the sake of Jeremy’s sanity, we all should go see this movie in the theatres!!!

Cinematic blue balls describes Dredd 2012 perfectly.

It's an immersive experience. Beautifully shot with a strong cast. The slow burn pace is apt as there are thousands of years of history at play between the different political factions. Love the choice of a dark color tone with the Bene Gesserit scenes. Fits their modus operandi to a tee.

When Jeremy goes "I'm gonna be honest with you ..if dune part two doesn't happen I'm gonna loose it " lol I felt that to my core ...lol man good stuff

This movie is almost Kubrick-ess in the fact that EVERY SINGLE SCENE almost looks like a painting and Hans Zimmer is at the peak of his game.

I'll admit, coming out of the theater I was like "that's it?" But the more I think about it, the more I want to watch it again, and the more I want Dune Part Two to happen

The Gom Jabbar scene is one of the most incredible audio-visual sensory overload experiences I’ve ever had in a cinema. That was chilling and the tension was palpable. Brilliant acting by Timothee Chalamet and Charlotte Rampling. Also props to Hans Zimmer and the singer during the Gom Jabbar. And can we please talk about how amazing Villenueve is at world-building? He takes his time with setting up the worlds, the factionalism of the houses and the empire. So so good.

Good news! Legendary just posted on their Twitter that part 2 is now confirmed. And will be coming out October 2023.

"Spice" sounds like DMT

Zimmer: So, what kind of score are you thinking of for this movie? Villeneuve: How about a 2½ hr long THX trailer? Zimmer: I got u, fam. Villeneuve: Also, how about we have a guy that makes THX noises with his mouth when he's preaching. Zimmer: Wat.

Jeremy could play as older version of Paul with this hair 😂

I need Denis Villeneuve to direct a film with Alex Garland's writing...

Never read any book or watched anything related to Dune before this movie. After watching this film, I'm already a big fan! Hopefully we'll get a sequel to this cinematic masterpiece!

To me this was like watching star wars for the first time as a kid, Dune seems to me like it has the potential to be the next huge Scifi movie franchise.

Watching this days before our local theatrical release and you you keep honing in on "hopefully there'll be a part 2" is pretty funny.

I'm sure the Epic Game Store and the company Epic are sure loving ur review lol.😂 You said the word epic in one video more times than i ever did xD

Jeremy took the words right out of me, every scene is so epic, normally in movies theres a few slow moments that are boring but necessary but in this one every scene is epic and necessary and every scene is justified making it a great movie

Jeremy "HBOMAX where it lends itself as a series." Me "Hmmmm, Children of Dune anyone!!!"

The ONLY thing in Dune that was different from how I imagined it when reading the book, is that I always imagined Paul with blonde hair

I'm so happy you're growing your hair back, the longer looks great on you

God, I have never felt like this watching a movie, you literally feel the world, you experience a new world, it was mind blowing...

Besides the story, get ready to be bombarded by Hans Zimmer's soundtrack on every epic scene.

When Jeremy looks happy in the thumbnail... you know it's gonna be a positive review. 🤣

I'm an old sci fi nerd. Denis just made the greatest sci fi movie ever. My only beef was when they killed Duncan idaho. 😣 this movie gave me shivers
