@ParzivalTheThird Yes I know. That's a NEW book/story so again this one absolutely should have a conclusion. Also since it's an adaptation of Messiah I expect that will be the title NOT "Part Three"
TWAS A HONOR AND PRIVELEGE TO EXPERIENCE THIS CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE WITH YOU ALL THERE AT IMAX HQ!! ^_^ THANKS FOR FIGHTING BESIDE ME & "FOLLOW YOUR BLISS" ^_^
"A longstanding dream of mine is to adapt Dune, but it’s a long process to get the rights, and I don’t think I will succeed" -Denis Villeneuve, September 2016 during the "Arrival" promotion And now he's fulfilling his dream in getting a chance to adapt his beloved sci fi story, i'm so proud of him 👍
Cannot wait to see part two. I told everyone I knew that part one had IMO the most viscerally loud soundtrack that I have ever heard. Almost riding that edge to being downright uncomfortable. I saw it first in IMAX, and the sound was very good, which meant I went out the next day to see in in the DOLBY movie theater down the road!!
It's wild how Villeneuve is literally just fulfilling his dreams, he said that Bladerunner was one of his favorite movies of all time and he literally made a sequel for it and succeeded.
This movie is incredible. Everyone gave fantastic performances. The cinematography, sound design, score, everything is so beautiful. I was glued to my seat and loved every second of it. It NEEDS to be seen in theaters! I hope everyone goes and I really hope it makes over a billion at the box office lol
@@Mjj5557they do change a lot of things, but for entertainment purposes. A lot of the books are thoughts and dialog. Many things we see in the second movie is full of stuff that is mentioned to happen. Plus they change some things about the Harkonenn. A lot of changes are for the screen and not really plot divergence. A lot of the book is paul's thoughts about things, not doing things so changes are about keeping the theme but moving forward. The emperor is supposed to be young looking, but he still comes across right regardless. That is the kind of change you see.
DUDE, I… I have no words. I can’t even begin to fathom what I just experienced. Masterpiece doesn’t even come close to describing it. A staggering, religious IMAX experience. This movie is one for the fucking ages. LONG LIVE CINEMA!!
I only saw an hr of it last night had to leave the early fan screening right after he learned to ride the sandworm cause I got sick. Atleast I got a refund and will try to see it again this weekend. But for the hr I was there it was amazing especially in IMAX. The sound is absolutely insane in this one!
I was too young to see any of the LOTR movies in theaters (I’m 24), so THIS movie was my mind-blowing, religious experience, I-will-remember-this-for-my-whole-life theater experience. Especially since I LOVE that the Dune stories are so much denser, heavier, more intellectual, more complex, and more profound than any other sci fi I’ve ever seen. These are my PERFECT sci fi. I watched Dune Part 2 twice now in IMAX, because I know I will never have another theater experience quite like this again. The ACTING was unBELIEVABLE. Rebecca Ferguson was so intimidating and terrifying, Timothee was riveting as a roaring messiah king, Austin Butler was _so sinister,_ it was just GLORIOUS.
The funny thing is that the many “villains” in Dune are supposed (IMO) to not feel as threatening as Paul because he is set up (in the books)to be the scariest being in the universe. As long he’s is alive, no one has really a chance…
My favorite part of this movie is that feyd rautha gets so much set up as this psychopathic killer and by the time he's fighting maud dib he's no one. They're exactly the same but Paul's already sold out everything that's meant anything to him for power and is going to go so much farther.
It was the greatest cinematic experience I have had since The Return of the King. A masterpiece of science fiction and film in general. If you can see it theaters, do it. This is what going to the theater is meant to be. Long live cinema!
I saw it Last Night as well. As someone who read the book, I’m blown away how well they adapted this. I feel like it’s gonna be very difficult for any other movie this year to surpass how I feel about this one. As it currently stands, I think it’s easy to say that this is the best movie so far this year.
I really liked the fight scene with Timothy Chalamet and Austin Butler. It was skilled without going over the top like the MCU movies and there was a lot more emotion involved.
And there was no music for most of it (I believe, or at least the first half of it) and it make the sound editing of the blades clinging so much more powerful
@@ahmorgan yeah so my original plan was to see it for the first time at AMC Lincoln square 70 MM imax theater with my brother and father but things changed when I realized a theater nearby called Tilton Square had an early IMAX showing last night. I secretly went to go watch it there without telling my brother or father 😭 I couldn’t help it 😭so I get to see it again in IMAX for the “first time” Saturday, can’t wait.
It's worth mentioning the Harkonnens are scary in part 1 but by the end of it they are sinking under weight of cost of it all - remember that's the point of Emperor manipulating this war
It's honestly super clever. The Emperor doesn't want other houses to get powerful enough to potentially challenge him. So he gets the richest house to destroy the most militarily powerful house in a way that practically bankrupts the Harkonnens.
for me it would be one of his previous movies, Blade Runner 2049, this movie though is soo amazing, the day he became a Fedayaen or however you spell it, riding the supersized sandworm was so good! it sounded like when I walked home in my youth during a winter storm!
I’m not a big Sci-Fi nut, but THIS movie melted my face off and OBLITERATED my fucking brain!!! This is a phenomenal film, one that’ll be talked about for decades to come, comparing it to other sci-fi flicks in the future. The bar has been raised in massive ways! Insanely gripping and beautiful. 9.5 out of 10 for me!
@@milenailic1437 Science fiction (according to even Google) explores what is possible, even if it's IMPROBABLE, while fantasy explores the impossible. Of course, possibility comes with some measure of subjectivity, which is what complicates matters. Star Wars is much more lighthearted adventure fantasy, with bright colors and even campiness and a lot of humor. Dune is much, MUCH heavier, truly wanting to base things in a much deeper and “grounded” way. You’re allowed to see things as you see them, of course, but Dune is however still stamped as hardcore sci-fi, while Star Wars is much more associated with Adventure fantasy 🤷♂️
@@ChristianKrogh-Denmark I love sci-fi more and I wish so much to see the good one. What I see in Dune movies is seriousness only in characters, everything else is pure fairytale. So, that seriousness or even emptiness bothers and tries me to the core. Thank you!
Timothee is such an amazing actor. His Call Me By My Name performance is all anyone needed to realize that he is a star. His ability to show every emotion without speaking a word is top notch.
Denis has talked about doing the second book Dune Messiah as a third movie. Exploring more of the pressure Paul is under. Herbert said he wrote Dune Messiah to correct all the people that took Paul as a Messiah as that wasn't his point. When asked to sum up the book series he said: "Charismatic Leaders should come with warning labels."
I thought Bautista gave a brilliant performance in revealing the personality of the character. A bully who operates out of fear. He's brutal because he's afraid. And the way he portrayed his cowardice when he ran away was so real
Very true! Rabban is known as all brawn, no brains, just a meat puppet. So the moment he feels out of his league, he turns tail. Which to me shows the power of Paul Muad'dib Atreides - just appearing makes him shit his pants.
hey greg and john, an easy way to remember the dune cinematographer is that he’s a name twin to one of you! greig fraser has done some incredible work and deserves to have his name remembered 💛 this movie was literally an experience. wow. saw it last night and dreamed about it as well. can’t WAIT to see it again this week.
Yeah, funky that the dude has been the cinematographer of The Batman, The Creator, and also The Mandalorian season 1, which btw, kinda kickstarted this channel's popularity rise.
Bro this might be the GOAT movie of the past 10 years man. Jesus Christ this is the apex of filmmaking and it shows. Everyone is giving generational MVP performances before the screen and behind the screen
Wow. Just wow. Was honestly tempted to go right into the next showing when I walked out of the theater haha. Truly blown away by this movie from start to finish. Just kept raising the bar in every aspect. The Paul Atreides takeover is here folks.
Am I the only one who found myself crying alot during this film? Not necessarily from the performances although they aided in conveying the weight, but the entire premise of the film is just heartbreaking and left me processing it alot afterwards.
Yes it’s like a mirror of the global affairs especially the American one. It is glorious and heartbreaking all at once. For me anyway…..that’s the magic in it seeing the warmth, love, and tragedies that affect us all.
So many of us are excited about going to the movie theater again!! THIS is HUGE. Harkonnen is a Finn name. Harka is Ox/bull...so note the connection with Paul's grandfather and his passion for bullfighting. Herbert's attention to detail is excellent.
I disagree with Bautista performance, he did great portraying what his character suppose to feel and express when not trying to disappoint the baron, he really went into character especially when times he was afraid, you can tell from his eyes and face expression, probably bautista best performance I've seen
They weren’t disappointed with Bautista’s performance. They were disappointed with where they took the character and how they didn’t expand on him much
@ReelRejects I’m so happy to hear you guys enjoyed this! I remember commenting on your reaction to the 2nd trailer that this film will be epic so it’s good to see Dune is getting the love it deserves. Cannot wait to Friday! LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS
It was an amazing movie and experience. Felt DEFINITELY epic and truly pulled you into the world of Dune even further. Can't wait for part 3! So fun watching with fellow fans at the screening. Thank you @ReelRejects, you are all awesome! Feel so lucky I was able to attend.
Loved this sequel. So many memorable cinematic shots and some killer acting. Javier Bardem is hilarious and he had my theatre laughing almost every time he was on screen, and Austin Buttler gave me hardcore Frieza vibes as Feyd. Timothée Chalamet goes through a powerful transformation throughout the course of the movie and you can’t help but cheer for him when he’s on screen. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s nominated for an Oscar. Can’t wait to watch it again in theaters and buy it on Blu-ray.
Just saw this for the first time yesterday and I was blown away. Easily the most breathtaking spectacle I've ever seen. Being old(er) I remember a gimmick in the 1970s called "Sensurround" where the sound level was cranked up and your seats shook. That's what you get with Dune 2 and I wasn't expecting that. I was just in awe of this movie and the story gripped me. Timothee is perfect here. He's so soft spoken that when he yells it throws you back in your seat. I wish I could see this in IMAX but my AMC doesn't have it.
So glad to see someone having a lengthier discussion about this movie. Just saw it last night and need to unpack that masterpiece. I need an expanded Dune universe
There's no Dune part 3. Book one is over. The next film is book 2 (film 3), Dune: Messiah. I can't wait to see this film multiple times in the cinema! 🎉
Zendaya for best actress is far more likely, in my opinion. But yes, best supporting for Butler and Ferguson are this film's best chances for acting nominations.
I really didn’t believe a sequel would top the unique and mind blowing experience of the first film but they really did it this film was narratively epic and visually masterful and the performances were incredible not one second of screen time wasted massive congrats on this masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m going total hype mode for this film. It’s the greatest science fiction film ever made and my new favourite film of all time. Going to see it for a third time very soon
I saw it for the first time the other day and I don’t see the hype at all. Maybe seeing part 2 will change my perspective but I was left extremely underwhelmed
@@malik6091tbh I think also seeing in the theatre made my experience a whole lot better. I get why ppl don’t love the first cause it’s quite slow. But the worldbuilding, characters are so good.
I went to an IMAX showing at the Tropicana at Atlantic City with my brothers after I saw the first film prior; and it was such an immersive experience. Paul Atreides was so intimidating to watch and Timothy Chalamet’s performance was phenomenal, it’s one of those performances where you see the character and not the actor as the character if that makes any sense. Christopher Walken was alright, there wasn’t much of his character performance that I believed in because he’s Christopher Walken. The cinematography, the sound quality was surprisingly excellent, the lighting, the atmosphere, and the story was insanely well written. I can confidently say that this is on par with the first film for sure, along with the little bits of criticism that I share with you guys. For first viewing, I give it a 90% and maybe some more. So excited for the next film! Edit: also that twist you guys were talking about was nuts and I didn’t even read the books, so it left me quite a surprise!
Love your critique's I watched the premiere and found myself agreeing with a lot of your opinions. You guys are the reason I'm starting a podcast about film because I love the honesty you bring to the internet about these films.
SPOILERS (Even for book readers who haven't seen part 2) I really REALLY loved what they did to Paul in this one. The way he literally became this religious figure, and everyone starts worshipping him. Jesus Christ. The shivers I got. And Timothy did SUCH a good job of adding a thick layer of epicness. Also, what they did with Chani, to my memory, is very different from the book. In the book, Chani never got angry at Paul (I think). In this movie, she's really pissed off at him. Man ... his character in this movie is so damn great it's actually insane
The thing with the books is those creative decisions like the twist, have a greater impact down the line. Trying to be non spoilery but everything has a purpose.
Even if I couldn’t make it to this living in portland im thankful you held something like this for fans as a kid the midnight ore screenings were special to make it even better and more memorable you guys are wicked man!!
@@stephaniemoore9122 oh i did in imax last sunday!!!! I like the first one more but i wanna watch them BOTH to see if it just works better together. But to me growing up during LOTR but being to young to go to the theater to see them dune part two is my LOTR its the greatest thing iv seen spectacle wise next too interstellar. It was jaw dropping. The baby stuff INSANE. And what blows my fucking mind being an IT fan is dune is doing what it part one and two couldnt in my opinion. This feels like a legit turning of the page vs it chapter two that feels like a whole new movie new book no fluidity. Anywho i can not grade part one and two not together now cause the movie as a whole with both is 9-10!
One thing I’ve noticed here in the US is that not all IMAX screens are the same. There is an AMC IMAX screen nearest me and it’s nothing like some of the screens I’ve seen in other cities, especially some of the older screens. The older screens were HUGE and really wrapped around the theater. The one near my house is big…it’s loud…but there isn’t anything special about it. If someone didn’t tell you it was an IMAX you would not know it. Seriously. Has anyone else seen this? Because I’m not paying the high cost for an IMAX if it just looks like any other screen.
Saw it last night and 100% it is a technical achievement it transporting you to another world, the sound, visuals, cinematography all top notch. The work ride was peek jaw dropping. I loved the themes of religion and political intrigue, the fights all wonderful. My biggest disappointment though and I find this with many of Denis movies, I just don’t have an emotional connection or stakes to the characters. That emotional investment of getting me to care is really what holds it back for me. But it is solid in all other aspects. 8/10
Did u see the 1 st movie. I definitely was in vested in n Paul Lady Jessica & Stilger Imo they were the movie. The problem is Zendaya was weak actress in this if she were more convincing Paul would have been more conflicted but Timothee was fantastic
I need to see it in IMAX. I have not stopped listening to the soundtrack since I saw it, it's incredible. The ending of the movie felt so glorious and righteous but also immediately tragic. It was so fucking good
Im so excited .i always see in IMAX ... i can tell by your energy you love it .before i clicked on .. im so happy its just as good or better than the first .!!! Thanks for the video .. i cant wait .. im sure ill see it at least 3 times or more
I think Greg will understand more on why they did the “reveal” in the third act more so on the second viewing. It’s all about who are going to be the next oppressors one of the very first lines from Zendaya in Dune Part one. Once you hear the revelation in Dune Part Two for Paul it makes so much sense. A beautiful, tragic film.
In the book, that reveal takes place when Paul and Jessica are in the tent after escaping Arakeen, but I really felt it made more sense to happen where it did in this film.
As reader of the book in most religion there is Messiyah, DUNE has theme of the core of the chosen one but make it in boy mind the best sci-fi story I hv read and Deni has blown my mind he made one of the stories I love to love more all am gonna say Thank u
I felt weird saying it for the last movie, but this solidified it. A barren desolate desert can be portrayed beautifully! I thought this was a better film than the first. More story, more emotions, more action, great acting, and a better ending. The first movie wasn't necessarily something I thought I needed to watch again. This one, I will watch again!
I read the first 6 books and I don't think they could ever make a movie so intricate. These two parts are pretty good though, can't wait for part three.
