Dune: Part Two - Ten Minute Preview - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland

[@satviksharma2401]

@@husamstarxin4626 the shield is made of subatomic particles..so if a gun is used on a shield ..then it may result in a nuclear explosion ..that’s why they mostly use hand held weapons

[@Killerkwoi13]

@@husamstarxin4626 two reasons: 1. The shields attract worms and sends them into a killing frenzy hence why you may have noticed no one ever uses shields in the combat scenes in the desert, the spice harvestors don't even have shields on them for the same reason, however the Ornithopters (the dragonfly looking helicopters) do because obviously they're not touching the sand 2. As someone else already mentioned, if a laser gun hits your shield it causes a massive explosion of a nuclear proportion, the Harkonnen's were not sure whether they were under attack from Fremen with lasers or with maula pistols so it's safer not to use them in case someone's shield gets hit by a laser

[@Bulligity]

@@Killerkwoi13 What a cool, subtle analogy pointing to the futility of using nuclear weapons due to the mutually assured destruction that would follow. Given when Herbert wrote these books, I bet that's what he was aiming at conveying to the reader.

[@DDR131]

Best theatrical experience I have had in my life ever. Also one of the best openings ever. Every shot Every camera movement Every character in this movie was like a gut punch. I'll never forget all my life. This is art at its best. I would like to see after the third part all three films' DVDs in the Criterion Collection closet.

“Filthy water. It's full of chemicals. But good enough for cooling systems” 😂

[@SK4Madhi_Freal]

Yeah, it gave us a bit more insight into The Harkonnen, they even have chemicals in their water. Stilgar was a bit of comedic relief in this.

[@_Feyd-Rautha]

I think it's because the Harkonnens take pharmaceuticals, something that is foreign to the Fremen. Perhaps to help with the heat and sun they're not used to.

[@FallenOne669]

​@Sk4M_.RangeroftheNorth And then they masterfully turn that comedy on its head when Paul becomes the Mahdi. Stilgar's faith wasn't funny anymore; it was frightening.

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

This is a reference to the Fremen metaphor of accepting someone into their ranks: "Your water will mix with our water." So for them to speak of the unsanitary/chemically tainted quality of a person's water is a powerful statement against their moral character and the extent to which they are regarded as inhuman.

[@takeswithjake]

This whole opening sequence is just so iconic. You know immediately that this movie is going to be great. I’ll never forget how locked in I was as the tension ratchets up with those theater-shaking drums at 5:10. This is how you set the tone for a film. The striking orange color grading, impeccable cinematography, and Zimmer’s masterful score create a gripping intensity, making it an unforgettable introduction to the film. The amount of screensaver-worthy shots in these first few minutes alone is just ridiculous. Seen this film in IMAX 4 times now and I simply can’t get enough of it. It’s the perfect sci fi blockbuster and already an all time classic.

[@JaguarK101]

[@GrandHighGamer]

The secret is that all of these shots (and every other high-concept shot in a blackbuster) are paintings. Or at least, start off with them. They're storyboarded and then designed in concept art before it is shot and then handed off to VFX (if it isn't pretty much entirely CGI like this one). They may not be straight matte paintings like older films would have done, but they're absolutely recreating one. Makes the artbooks a joy. Heck, a different piece of concept art for that shot is actually the cover for Part 2's artbook.

HOT TAKE: I think this is the best opening scene in the movies in this century. I love ir so much. Firstly, it's looks absolutely beatiful and very atmospheric. Insane shots. Insane soundtrack and amazing unique atsmosphere. It'a literally amazing scene for understanding this lore. Dramatic, epic, futurustic, complex and variety lore. Secondly, before Arrakis, how they perfectly showed the Emperor and his reaction to Leto's death, it was very accurate. Shaddam loved Leto as his son, but still he strove for power and therefore killed him, which was very painful for him as a man. Walken did amazing job. Same like Pugh. Just 2 minutes moment, but amazing adaptation

[@Ralph-vh8re]

[@cdragonVII]

The intro caught me off guard cause I went to a theater that started the movie immediately after the previews ended with no other adds it just jumped right into that chant full blast

[@MattWeser]

The parallels of the usage of flamethrowers throughout the movie is quite interesting. At the beginning it's Harkonnens burning bodies, by the end it's the Fremen. Also the Harkonnens falling from the cliff can't help but bring to mind the scene with them roasting the poor birds in the Cave of Birds.

[@Forgotten_Fables]

Not everyone prefers 16:9+ aspect ratios. I much prefer a nice wide 2.4:1 for cinematic titles. Seeing more is not necessarily better. Letterboxing and cropping in focuses the eyes on what is happening in the scene and what is important. Comes down to preference at the end of the day. Planet Earth BBC style documentaries obviously benefit from a full frame, and actually, IMAX was created for nature content in the first place. It depends what the director is going for. The vast vast overwhelming majority of films are released in 2.35-2.4:1. There's a reason. You could also argue that 60fps is smoother, but every single film is released in 24fps. Its "more cinematic", as cringe as that might sound a lot of the time.
