The Dune Part 2 Trailer Restored My Faith in Cinema 

That's because the director respects the source material and not only makes amazing films but also he loved the Dune books and wanted to make a faithful adaptation. That's what happens when someone gives their story quality and doesn't care only for profit.

What i like about Dune that I think Hollywood fails at in other movies....is the action. In other movies, when action scenes happen its treated like visual candy. The feeling watching it is "time for another obligatory action scene with a bunch of living dummies for the hero to beat up!" But with Dune, an action scene hits and the vibe is "this is not something that happens every day. This is serious in this universe. People don't just ride sand worms, they don't just conquer and blow up cities Willie Nillie, this is a world changing event." Literally in almost every major Hollywood film, riding dangerous animals is a fun activity, and entire seaboards get wiped out on an annual basis. It's all just part of the ride. Dune's action isn't just part of the ride, it's a very intense developement in the story of the universe.

My only problem with this trailer is that I want to see the movie right now 😄🍿📽🎞

I've read the books and I CANNOT WAIT to see how this film series pans out, and how far they'll get into the novels. You're in for a wild ride! :-D

It’s such a good trailer. And Zendaya and Florence Pugh are amazing. Incredible cast. I’m excited!

Dune and its sequel Dune Messiah are incredible books. It’s been likened to sci-fi’s Lord of the Rings. There’s a lot of backstory and genius machinations. The incredible thing about the first two books is that there are no stupid characters. Everybody is intelligent and scheming. Baron Harkonnen is particularly terrifying, because he’s not just cruel and greedy-he’s also brilliant. I highly recommend reading those two books if you can. It will greatly increase the enjoyment of the movies. I am incredibly excited for this to come out. The things that happen in the second half of the book are incredible. It looks like Villeneuve is going to pull it off, if he does this movie will be astounding.

I’m pretty sure the black and white scenes are from a flashback sequence which appears in the book. That means we’re gonna get a black and white fight scene featuring Austin Butler’s character in a gladiator arena, cause Denis Villeneuve loves us

I am such a dune stan. The first summer I worked in Alaska, dune was the o ly book I had with me and I read that book like 5 times. This movie looks so legit. The gladiator scene being included with rautha looks slick. So excited!!!!!!!

"How many movies do you see a guy ride a giant sandworm?" - not enough, but also Beetlejuice.

"A bit of a Messiah Complex". Hold on to this statement.

Dune Part 1 and Part 2 were actually mostly shot in a real desert in Jordan. So, whenever the desert "looks real" like you said, it's because it probably is.

Hey Brittney, your taste in cinema is on-point. I also loved DUNE Part One. Have you seen other films by Denis Villeneuve? I can recommend Arrival (2016) and Prisoners (2013).

Loved the first movie, i felt like it saved fantasy/sci-fi blockbusters. I am so pumped for part 2!

You should absolutely read the first book! It moves slower and there are parts of the film I personally feel are an improvement, but it’s also so rich and fascinating!! I think you’d appreciate it. And I cannot WAIT to see this film!

Loved your breakdown. This is more of what I want from people reacting to stuff, I wanna hear more detailed thoughts. Then again that takes skill that not everyone has, but you have the skill to describe both your feelings and give some analysis so 👍

Hey just subscribed! Literally agree with everything you said. ❤I wanna add one more thing, we didn’t even get to see Alia (Paul’s little sister) in the trailer she is so important and I think when we get the main trailer later in the summer, we’ll see her and she will blow everyone’s minds. Have a nice day thank you for talking about Dune! ❤

I loved the first dune so much. As a dune fan and a Zendaya fan I'm so excited!!!!! Well be in cinemas when it comes out🎉🎉✨️✨️✨️

Paul doesn't see himself as a God. He is terrified of the future he sees but is unable to stop it. Paul is the catalyst for the true savior, his son. The person who does lead humanity to the golden path.

The lady tou asked about is Lady Fenring, who played a VERY pivotal role, although in the book she was in the first part, aka when the Atreides took over Arrakis. She is perfectly cast. Irregardless of this great trailer, the most anticipation i have is the unveiling of Christopher Walken's portrayal and look as the Emperor. He is the last p raon i thought of as the Emperor but now that he has been cast, i cant think of anyone else playing him now.

Nice video, it's so rare nowadays to find someone who can appretiate and points out the actual cinematic components of a movie. Thank you.

Omg, you not only put into words what I love about Villanueve's Dune but also what I don't like about so many movies!!!

Hey Britney! I love your takes on films and cinema in general and I haven't read Dune yet or seen the first movie but I'm one of those people who generally likes to read the book first, so I'm definitely going to hurry up and read the book, so I can watch the first movie and then go to see this in the cinema because it looks epic! I was wondering, could you also do a video on The Hungers Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes trailer because I am genuinely so excited for that movie based on the trailer and would love to hear your thoughts on it! :)

I love how you want Dune Mania to take off...the original book is a mainstay in English language literature, and it's starting to get the attention it deserves (even though one of my all time favorite sci-fi/formerly sci-fi authors isn't crazy about it...oh well.) The Dune: Part 1 proved that Dune is in good hands with Denis Vellenueve, and the trailer for part to--just the trailer!--is far better than whole movies that have been released recently. I love how you dive into cinematography, visual layering, and the cultural aspects of the movie. All of that is on rich display here, and it's great to see someone not only picking up on it, but honestly appreciating it! Watching your reactions and hearing your commentary is a real treat!

Love the energy surrounding every little detail.

The woman in black is probably Lady Margot Fenring a sister of the Bene Gesserit order and the partner of Count Hasimir Fenring the Emperor's right hand man / assassin. Thanks to Lady Jessica messing up the Bene Gesserit breeding program and bearing a son Lady Fenring is sent to Geidi Prime to preserve the genetic lineage of Feyd Rautha (the young Harkonnen man shown right before her) who was originally meant to breed with Jessica's daughter to produce the Kwisatz Haderach. Hasimir himself is a failed Kwisatz haderach and as a result is invisible to Paul's prescience and the man who could well end his life.

I think timoteé is suppose to be more of the jesus type but that shot of him looking upon everyone also reminds me of the last shot in the prince of egypt where moses is holding the ten commandments. Another fun thing to look at

"There's a bit of messiah complex" - now that's a bit of understatement ;) Great review, I'm so excited to see the movie.

A lot of characters from the first Dune will return because Dune 2 is the second half of the first book. Can't wait to see this in theaters!

The second book in the series is literally called Dune: Messiah

Just found you! I really appreciate your take! "Real cinema". I have been watching my favorite real cinema series being watered down, and finally, Dune was released. I hope it inspires great movies like you say!

Austin butler is playing Fade Rautha, the Barron's nephew and a master fighter. The black and white scenes are most likely flashbacks to when he was fighting in the gladiator arenas on Giedi Prime.

If the over-rated Top Gun: Maverick can be nominated for Best Picture, it would be crime if Dune wasn't as well.

3:12 A minor spoiler to wet the whistle, Princes Irulan is ALSO a Bene Gesserit Sister. Like Jessica and Lady Fenring and the full reverend mother from the first movie.

The first movie was amazing, the graphics were so stunning I cried. I cannot wait for the second to come out. Great cast and amazing cinematography. I agree that it’s anti-blockbuster because this isn’t another action hero movie. It’s a rich plot with complicated characters. Love it

It looks and sounds stunning. If it has the same quality of the previous film, it will be a great adaptation of the second half of the book. Of course, some things were changed to make it more appealing for mainstream modern audiences and keep it PG-13. I hope this film and the upcoming streaming series are successful enough to guarantee future adaptations of the following books.

We all have to see this thing a couple of times in the theater. We need to encourage the industry to invest in this kind of flick. Superhero movies were fun, but I find them increasingly more disposable.

It's easy to forget that Paul is a genetically engineered super being. Of course he can ride a sandworm first time.

When you mention the shots being so great and thought through, I would say this is because that’s what a good storyboard should be like. To think each frame as if it was its own illustration, with great composition, dynamism, diversity, an interesting lighting… Must be actually so great to work on such a movie 😊

Dune is so incredible. i’m so excited to see the second film. the cinematography, costumes and storytelling blows me away. and the sound itself is a work of art. the subtleties and commitment….the way “the voice” in the first film shook me to the core, it almost made me feel compelled. 😂 seeing it the first time in the theatre was such an experience. every shot is phenomenal. it all feels so immersive. i’m in awe and amazed. everything about Dune is so majestic, mind bending, transcendental and refreshing. 🤎

Long Live the Fighters.... literally gave me chills!

I didn’t like this movie but it was so immersive. I got real into and I didn’t even like it. 😂

I love how you spoke of your love of the shots and the real "film" in the director's vision. I don't ever really think of the Marvel movies and most blockbusters as films. DV is doing something, articulating the story with real techniques that are done for a reason, not just to fit Michael Bay like mild audience pushing. So rare in a movie with this kind of budget and top stars. If they can pull of the 2nd half of the book - which is much more epic and difficult - we are in for an incredible experience.

OMG, OMG, OMG !!! It looks even better and more outstanding than the first one !!! Can't wait to see It and see the wonderfull and gorgeous as well Timothée again !!! ✨🥰✨

Loved this video! You really capture and appreciate cinema. Very articulate, keep it up!

such a fun reaction! also maybe a little more than "a bit" of a messiah complex ha

Hi Brittney, hope you are well. I love all the videos you created. But I miss all your Live because of the time difference in Ireland :( I will try to make it next time !

@5:40 its Léa Seydoux. She was in Death Stranding and No Time to Die, Spectre.

I loved the trailer! The first movie was epic and I really can’t wait for part 2!

“A bit of a Messiah complex” Lol. Yep. Herbert’s book isn’t just a coming of age story, or a hero’s journey story, or a story of war and politics….. it’s a warning, a warning about messiahs, a warning about fury and fanaticism unleashed

I am so watching Dune part 2 in IMAX. This is the sci fi epic we need and deserve.

FWIW: After *DUNE, Part 2* is finished, Denis Villenuve is SUPPOSEDLY going to start working on a movie version of Arthur. C. Clarke's novel, *RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA.* I am *_TOTALLY_* looking forward to that!

5:10 the only black and white scenes we see in this trailer on outside on Geidi Prime, which means that this could be what daylight looks like on Geidi Prime…… which is bleak to think about

It's more likely the b and w scenes are visions of the future had by Paul's mother, who is now a reverend mother

You know, after seeing the trailer, I actually thought about the black and White acenes of the film, and it kinda gives me the vibes of the perspective of the Harkonnen, in which we have the scenes of Arrakis focused on the colors of the desert and the light of the sun, and the black and white appeal of the Harkonnen. The scenes in which the Harkonnen appear and the color pallette they use is tending for me to be monogamic on purpose, which tightly revolves around their dinamic in each they are a tyrannic people in which they do not see the meaning of Arrakis beyond the spice and the political advantages, therefore their perspective and their shots revolve around the black and white, showing to us the audience their one-sided perspective and beliefs. I could be total wrong about this analysis, but that is what i got watching the trailer.

Somebody give that director a damn star wars trilogy asap!!!

Love the trailer, and this YT channel. Subscribing.

I am very glad you enjoyed the trailer and Dune Part One. Me . . . I liked it a lot, but it didn't strike sparks a 100%, and sadly I can't quite say why. I have read the book, and while I think it did a very good job in staying true to the source material, I don't think it fully caught everything. FWIW I would recommend reading the book Dune, but personally (just me) I wouldn't bother with the sequels. I think I understand what you mean about Dune as the anti-blockbuster. Yes, its spectacular, but it's telling a story and has themes beyond mere spectacle. Although, talking of spectacle, you say one scene might be Paul's Jesus moment. I can see what you mean, but I think it'll more likely be his Mohammed moment.

If you liked what they did with Dune, I think you would really like Andor. Had no right to be as good or well executed as it was, but it's a legit God damned masterpiece

Irulan is both a scholar and a princess. perhaps it’s a scholar cap.

The comments are off on the Peter Pan review... So here is mine 😊If you want to check out a New/ Different telling of Peter Pan, I recommend... Peter and Wendy from 2015, It has Stanley Tucci as Captain Hook...This version has a connection with Great Ormond Street children's hospital that has become irrevocably associated with Peter Pan. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT, IT'S REALLY LOVELY!!! 😊

I'm really excited. I just hope that they stick the landing. The Lynch film did not. The scfi TV show in 2000 did but is hampered by its low budget. So far, the 2000 show is my favorite adaptation and IF Dune2 is great it will be my favorite.

The only logical explanation as to why this film has the care and detail of its filmmaking is because the studios and the distribution company fully believe in the director. Giving him the full reins to craft the source materials, from the book, to giving them the money. They now know with the 1st film's success and positive responses from their target audience, hence the book lovers, that they're going to make a ton of bank and for its investors as well. Including of new comers interested of wanting to continue watching Part 2. The director has proven himself to not only be talented film director (I feel somewhat different for some of his films) but also how he's able to intrigue the general audience, film lovers, and film critics to see his actual work fully in theaters. Which once again, he's able to generate the box office numbers for the studios/studio since years of building his reputation. And show casing his talents as a visual storyteller. Most studios aren't willing to give directors the full control of the final film product. Which explains why so many of the high budget films are very similar to one another and following the new cool factor or a certain style for each decade in filmmaking. Hence, why there's saturation problems and tiredness from audiences. In my opinion, I thought the first Dune movie was boring to me, flat characters or lack of growth, and predictable to me. I loved some aspects of the cinematography but there were some nights scenes that I couldn't see what was going on (as usual and an annoying filmmaking style that every director is doing). Yet, the worldbuilding is somewhat intriguing. I just want more than just oh pretty worldbuilding and visual landscapes like. I want a story. So hopefully Part 2 has a story.

Ive wanted to watch dune for so long! but was way too lazy to go to theatres before it left :( i read the book and its wonderful

Girl, he is literally the messiah!!

Cheers to appreciating the best Sci Fi story of all time!

Girl you got to read the book!

I loved the first one! I have a prediction that maybe Paul (Timothée) is gonna be the the first person able to use the "voice" on crowds of people instead of individuals and that will play into his messia complex.

yeah, I wouldn't say the clothes looked like costumes in Rings of Power because everything in that show was fantastic (except the writing, truly the writing), but I would say the same about the MCU. Why does it seem like the Asgardians, the Quantum Realmers, the guardians of the Galaxy, the Skrulls, the kree, and the avengers all go to the same costume designer?

This is cinema. I posted this sentiment on another video and I’m so validated that you feel the same way. I love movies and this and Oppenheimer are my most anticipated films of the year.

I have a theory that in the worm riding sequence we will see Jamis again in a hallucination. Probably won't happen, but it kind of makes sense considering in the vision we have of jamis in the 1st movie he activates his wormhooks (I think that's what they're called, i forget).

After all the Christian Bale Dune sandworm jokes among the fans, it's funny that Austin Butler is setting himself up to be the next Bale acting-wise with his transformations.

I agree with everything said! This will be super!!

5:58 yes i feel that!

It's sad how it's excited we get over a well shot 🍿🎥 like it was something from the past

Great video but you never spoke about Javier Bardem, the GOAT

Visually it's stunning but I struggled to get through part 1. The soundtrack overshadowed the action, important parts of book swapped out for long and repetitive desert shots. I was really looking forward to this adaptation.

It"s actually more back to the roots then.that new. It"s like watching a good Shakespeare adaptation instead of a bad game of thromes clone

Hi love your vids

me my dad and 2 friends went to go see it and i was so confused but i liked it but after i looke it up and apparently it was starwars before starwars and it inspired george lucas for starwars and i believe the creator of star trek aswell so basically dune is the last book to have an adaptation thats good BUT IT LIKE A STAPLE IN THE SCI-FI GENRE NOBODY EVER DISCUSSED

I suppose I watch this one also when it ia relesed on bluray... part 1 was ok though I realy hope this new one is better and has more ... well everything that makes movie great 🙄 personally I prefer the SyFy's mini-series (have youbseen those?). Sure, CGI in those are not great but everything else is. The colours, directing, cast, charactera, S O U N D T R A C K ❤️

It's kind of funny that you mention Dune inspiring copies when the novels were the inspiration for hundreds, if not thousands of sci-fi stories that focused on world-building and epic, eon-spanning plots. What you said about costumes makes a lot of sense. The things characters wear should feel like they are what would actually be used in those situations: worn, comfortable, familiar. That said, Irulan's chain-mail outfit is an invention of the filmmakers. She has a much smaller role in the book, which I don't mind being expanded on here. She comes into her own later, in Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, which I hope they try to adapt. I'm very curious about the black-and-white treatment of the Giedi Prime sequences. Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is going to get much more screentime here than in the David Lynch film, and this is good because he's Paul's evil counterpart. He needs to be built up as a serious threat.

I'm interested! (And there are very few new movies that interest me.)

Waiting for your reaction on trailer 2

All the credit for the visual style goes to the people making these movies. The books rarely describe how things actually look. It's mostly internal dialogues and philosophy from various characters perspectives.. which might sound boring, but Frank Herbert pulled it off, cause he's just that weird

That is Denis Villeneuve for you.

Dune: Part Two looks absolutely so very incredible!

The zoom in is very george lucas and steven spielberg

gotta see this in Imax lol

I wouldn't say that I want Dune copies. I find when Hollywood does that that most of their efforts feel underwhelming/terrible. A good example of that being the copying of Chicago's aesthetic and stylism into Sweeney Todd (which was good) but also into parts of Phantom of the Opera, Into the Woods, and Les Miserables which were bad, boring, and bad in that order. I would prefer that Hollywood takes inspiration from this "anti-blockbuster" and chooses to be creative instead of rushing out the latest example of CGI hell that their underpaid, overworked, and understaffed workers could cobble together in as little time as possible.

9:30 the timeline for the Dune series is over tens of thousands of years. So it’s safe to tell you - everyone dies 😉

5:34 that's Lady Margot a Gene Besserit

I cant waith for this movie

you are going to be blown away!!!!

I liked the movie well enough, but I did not like their portrayal of the voice. Plus them leaving out the baliset entirely...that was unironically a very important part of the story. But I did love the movie. I'm curious how they'll make the second half true to the book, since the focus of the story was never combat and it's almost entirely on abstract ideas and politics. Well, combat prowess is a big focus, but the fight scenes themselves were not.

I don't care about Dune.. because my sister tried to force the thousand year mini series on me but i can assure you... Imma watch the first one..then hopefully watch the new one...

My nitpick of this trailer is just Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler and Florence Pugh.

I just wish people would stop helping to perpetuate this false narrative that Dune is "real and practical"; It had lots of CGI. Part One had over 1700 VFX shots, which is even more than Star Wars: Rogue One. Let's just appreciate how tastefully the live action and CG are so cohesively blended together that it "feels" real. That's what we should be celebrating, not throwing VFX teams under the bus as though they're this dirty secret to sweep under the rug. Too many movie promotional campaigns have been doing this lately, even by cast and crew who should know better.

i mean they filmed in the desert so… they weren’t on a soundstage lol

It's a real Blockbuster made with passion and thought, not one of these corporate pretend movies

Although this isn't related, I'm planning on seeing Wish cause it seems pretty promising to me.❤
