For those not in the know, Spice doesn't actually fold space. The folding of space is done with a Holtzman engine. The spice gives the navigators prescience to see obstacles in space and plot a course safely. Without the prescience of spice, interstellar travel was a bit of a gamble.

[@Shamino1]

Gamble? More like a near-certainty you would hit an object and destroy the vessel. Without Spice Prescience space-travel would be impossible.

[@adeptavatar9394]

@@Shamino1 Not a near certainty for a single trip. Each trip was a 1 in 10 chance of being destroyed in the books. But of course this is unacceptable odds for travel and cargo hauling, imagine 1 out of 10 passenger planes crashing daily.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

This scene is a clear example of why Lynch's Dune is still remembered: yes, the VFX are bad even for 1984. Yes, it changes the novel's lore. But it's incredibly visionary and surreal - and, as such, it does captures the novel's bizarre atmosphere. It really looks like an alien world that is only populated by humans prone on holy wars and mystic journeys.

[@plaxusvendant2983]

The visuals are all over the place. Some look actually pretty good I think like the first shot of the ships in lines moving to the highliner and others are wildly bad. The scene after this with the highliner appearing in Dune orbit looks like a cell shaded cartoon cutout overlaying the dune/starfield image. The movie in general is all over the place in music, visuals, pacing...

[@fallinginthed33p]

And the Villeneuve movie misses the mark. The visuals are drab, monochrome, boring whereas Lynch's movie is balls-out weird.

I saw this in a theater back in 1984. I had previously read most of the book, which only somewhat impressed me. This is a very unexpected flavoring of the book and yes the FX look poor in several cases. However, it mixes the sound track and the images in such a way as to give a fairly coherent feeling of being in a truly alien universe. Somewhat like the original "Bladerunner". I would call it a work of art, and as such it will not have the same effect on all viewers. That is part of the magic, and it does have a place in the dune family.

Can you explain how it's a reference?

[@JackBlackNinja]

@@MegaDRKSTR well there's def a chance that the MIB writers/producers had never seen Dune and happened upon the pug idea totally novelly, but that would just be an unlikely coincidence, while the case of it being shoutout or reference or trope or whatever you want to call it would be a more likely and is a common thing to do in movies, especially movies of the same genre, and especially MIB which utilizes a lot of other sci-fi elements that they didn't come up with all on their own. Influence and inspiration are powerful and crop up everywhere. I honestly think that people who care a lot about considering their ideas as novel are on the wrong path. There is use in it, like if you want to make the most money for yourself and guard and maximize your own interests, but I think it's more useful to consider yourself as part of a larger whole, even if it forfeits some profit you could have gotten ensuring copyrights and the like. Even if you were the first person to come up with a chord or to deem a plot of land yours, emphasizing how your piece is just part of systems greater than yourself is the better reference frame than the self-centered one where you don't emphasize the larger systems and instead focus on your own ownership.

I love the long scenes, fade transitions and mysterious music, it kind of puts you in a trance like state following a stream of conciousness. The slow pace allows you to gaze at some of these panoramic shots in awe and take in all the amazing details they put in, like the trail of ships slowly making the trip one behind the other up into space towards the monolithic docking ship, the ships then entering through the gigantic fancy gold frame fading to a closer shot of the giant gold frame while still following the ships, the ships docking and then the camera panning up from the docked ships as you hear other ships docking in the background. Also, the amazing matte painting by Albert Whitlock as they land on the planet at 4:10, that is a lost art. In that shot I always felt the perspective, lighting, great detail, speed of the ships looked just right plus the mysterious music were all working together and litterally transporting you to that world.

[@michaelstone7514]

The sets were amazing for this movie. Everything has a very ceremonial and symbolic feel. No cold steel glass and simple lines. Very baroque ornamental luxurious. Even the giant doorway of the guild highline is framed by a filigree gilded in gold. The chairs that Paul Leto and Jessica sit in are not utilitarian but leather high backed and plush. It's wonderful to see how opulent travel for the nobles is in the imperium. Folding space is far better than any other form of travel. It's near instantaneous. No long tedious journey in cramped quarters. You can bring enormous amounts of chattel with you. Their is no need to keep people alive with life support for a long journey, or wasting space with engines or fuel. Just a simple great cylinder that stores thousands of personal cargo containers.

@@senzosanjuro1769 Totally agree. While he is an excellent director, he did not manage to instill the Space Goth elements in the first movie (and I guess also in the upcoming second). DUNE is a Universe where intelligent machines are fobidden, thus we need to have a kind of retro-futuristic/gothic cultural background.

Denis Villeveuve should have included a pug for Paul Atreides to play with in the 2021 Dune too. It has a little bit of water.

classic scifi of the 80s.. slower, more detailed, vibrant and an amazing musical score to add emphasis to key scenes.

I wish we had movies with today’s special effects with 80s sets and storytelling. I feel like movie sets and backgrounds are all just boring black and gray. And they rely too much on explosions and fights

The Guild Navigator sequence has to be the MOST David Lynch part of this entire movie. As in - the producers just let him go and be free on this one scene to be all-out LSD fueled trippy.

My dad and I have a strong fondness for this movie and I absolutely love the Toto score. Biggest complaint is the pacing, it seems good till the Fremen attack montage then feels like it speeds up like they realized they're running out of time

[@jonathantan2469]

I watched this movie recently. After the first half, almost everything had a rushed feel... as if the DeLaurentis company told David Lynch that the budget is running out & they won't pour any more money into the project. It didn't help that the Harkonnen baddies were so cliched & looked like Fat Evil John Belushi and Sting on 'Shrooms (yes, it is Sting).

It's not that the 1984 Dune was hit and miss...but that it had wonderful imagination and design style to it's visuals that outstrip the new film. Who can forget those third stage guild navigator scenes or the vision of a wild baron harkonnen laughing maniacally while spinning round and round that jet of steam!!?

The first desert scene and music is clearly the best part of the whole movie and what singlehandedly justifies it.

[@BatEatsMoth]

It seems that most people commenting on this don't understand that Lynch's work is meant to appeal to the emotions, not facts and logic. His art is a mixture of surrealism and gothicism, not realism or rationalism. It's interpretive, not replicative. Despite its departures from the book, this is one of his best films. It's a surreal/gothic masterpiece. That's why it has a cult following; despite Lynch's own dissatisfaction with it, he created something that made a lasting impression.

[@sacr3]

That's where it killed it for me, the cult type of environment. Movies that have weird folk enforcing their will because "beliefs" just irritates me. I'm a dude who likes to see advanced tech, not weird organisms laser puking planets. It's been years since I've seen this movie and I didn't remember much of it due to lack of interest. Doesn't mean it's a bad movie, clearly you enjoyed it as well as many others and it's getting a remake! I'm just picky myself

[@BatEatsMoth]

@@sacr3 A cult following is a small but passionate fanbase. That has nothing to do with what's in the movie itself. Have you even read the book? It's entirely about cults controlling the universe with remnants of belief systems like Monarchism, Islam and Christianity. Lynch didn't change any of that, and if this version follows the book, it won't either. So if that's the cult type environment you're referring to, you should probably be looking elsewhere for your entertainment. The entire series of books is about a civilization without advanced technology: no computers, no robots, both of which were banned by royal decree. That's why they have the Space Guild, the Mentats, the Bene Gesserit, etc.: people with mystical powers or savant level intelligence to fill the void left by the absence of advanced technology. There is very little advanced technology in the Dune universe; only global socialist monarchies directing the building of vast infrastructure to support a spacefaring empire. That may seem highly advanced, but that has little to do with technological advance. In fact, most of it relies on the unifying power of religion, mysticism, and paranormal activity. Herbert himself was making a point about our own civilization's advancements, which are more sociological wonders than technological. Aside from space travel, genetic engineering that is a stage beyond our own capacities and a few other minor things, there is little in the Dune universe that can't be replicated with modern technology. In fact, it depicts a ruthless and barbaric authoritarian civilization that has technologically advanced very little in 10,000 years. The glory of Dune is perverse glory, not righteous glory. That's how Herbert intended it. It was a warning against Monarchism, Imperialism, Socialism, state religions, resource mongering and dependency infrastructures, social engineering, cults of personality, rigidly defined classes, caste systems, insane racial and ethnic divisions, eugenics, the guidance of civilization by gurus seeking to fulfill prophecies, etc., etc. The intention is for the audience to look past the depictions of superficial glory and see the perversity and savagery of all of that as it really exists. Lynch tried to portray that in keeping with Herbert's vision, but most people missed the point. I think the same thing will happen with this film. All art is an artists' rendition. I suspect this film will be no different, regardless of how much it might stick to the books. I'm just hoping that it won't be the typical socialist propaganda that we're seeing in today's films and TV shows. If so, then it will be a huge artistic failure, because the story itself is a condemnation of all that.

[@sacr3]

@@BatEatsMoth Jesus bud, listen there are millions if not a couple billion that dislike this movie for their own reasons. This movie gave me too much of a cult/religious taste in my mouth and I'm no fan. Therefore I didn't like this movie and how they portrayed things like, well, this FTL travel. My preference is with advanced technologies, but show me a flying space fetus shooting energy from its mouth and you'll lose me right away. May as well just make it a giraffe that shits out universal locations if we're going to make no sense.

[@BatEatsMoth]

@@sacr3 Hey that's fine with me, but you're barking up the wrong tree with the new one because it's still just a film adaptation of Herbert's novel, which is 100% about the sort of things you don't like to see in a sci fi movie.

[@sacr3]
