Its cause Denis changed stilgar’s character in the movie. In the book he’s still very loyal to Paul but was never portrayed as this crazed fanatic. He was like a wise uncle always giving Paul advice. His action’s are also still valid because at the end of the day paul is the fremen’s messiah and saved them.

Yes! Even though I know technically he's "turning to the dark side" he's so good at it I just adore him as all-powerful Paul even if I know I shouldn't.

[@dess234]

It's a mixture of both I feel. Paul does genuinely love Chani and he is loyal to her (they have children together in the books, BUT in the books, Chani had less autonomy, she pretty much lived for Paul), Paul was happy to be embraced in the culture, but once the walls started closing in, he seen what he had to do in order to get to the emperor, so yes he did manipulate the fremen in a way. For the most part, everything Paul does, while it is a choice, in my opinion it's an illusion of choice because at the end of the day, his purpose is to be their messiah even though he doesn't really WANT to be it. He knows he has to do it in order to survive and to also keep his family and friends alive. He did end up helping the fremen just...in a different way LMAO

[@vascobroma8907]

You mention the timing of things a few times (Paul falling for Chani, eyes turning blue, progression of pregnancy). In the book, this portion of the story spans about 4-5 years. Paul's sister is already born by the end, and is basically a fully matured adult, as a toddler. That would have obviously been pretty hard to film. Denis Villeneuve also said his decision to shorten the time span was in order to keep the desire for revenge fresh in the minds of the characters. It's harder to sell a revenge story if Paul's had half a decade to grieve. There's some other minor changes to the story as a consequence of the decision to shorten it for the movie. I won't spoil them. Highly recommend reading the books!

@@lucifermorningstar4500 I've read the books several times and I could have sworn Alia is about 4 years old at the end of the first book (i.e. the end of Dune: Part 2, the movie). However, looking back at it, a certain character she meets at the end of the book *thinks* she's 4, but I don't think it actually states she's 4. According to the Dune fandom Wiki (don't go searching for this site if you don't want spoilers!), the events of the first movie span about half a year, from January 10191 to summer/early fall, and the events of the second movie span from approximately October 10191 to December 10193, which would make Alia 2 years old when Paul took the throne. So to answer your question, Dune 2 (the movie) covers a period of about 2 years 3 months in the book, but it's obviously shortened in the movie because Alia isn't born by the end.

The scenes on Giedi prime were shot in infrared...that's not a digital effect, and it wasn't shot in black-and-white. The star of Giedi Prime is "black" because it doesn't emit any visible light. Normally that would mean the planet would be completely dark at all times to anyone who can't see in infrared, but presumably something about the atmosphere does something to it that causes everything to reflect into visible wavelengths again.

I'm reading the book currently, this is how the shields work: Nothing that moves at a certain velocity and faster can break through a shield. Guns with bullets do not work on shields. Whatever is shot at them needs to be constantly moving forward to the victim, with a bullet it would hit the shield and fall. This is why they use lasguns, the lasers. The laser is a constant stream of destruction. Wars are not fought with guns, they're fought with assassins. Hand-to-hand combat is vastly different, with defense being fast and offense being slow to be able to penetrate the shield.

[@alliekattt9469]

@@zumair6957 No, I would definitely not recommend it for beginners. Start with Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis first, then move on to Dune after having eased into these type books. I have read 100+ books for fun, and I'm studying to become an ecologist & biologist. The appendix alone (at the back of the book for reference, but I like to start with these first) took me 3 consistent days to read. It has been a month and a half, and I'm halfway through the book, though I'm a slow reader. Here's why you should not read Dune if you've never read a book before: 1. Your language is probably limited (mine is too whenever I haven't read in a while lol, this isn't meant to be a diss). 2. You would probably not be able to picture the scenes in your mind at first. When I read, it's like I'm actually there. 3. Dune is very lore-heavy. If you don't at least have an interest in science, religion, psychology, spirituality, and political systems, then you won't be able to keep up. It would be a slow, dragging read for someone who hasn't read before imo. Here's why you should read Dune after beginning with something easier: 1. It's fucking genius. 2. Dune is the backbone of all science-fiction from when it was published, on. 3. You will get completely sucked in to the world of Dune. The worldbuilding is insane. 4. I'm going to explain now some things which stand out to me: - The author clearly studies or has a great interest in ecology. The first section of the appendix is about the plant and animal life and some geology of Arrakis. - Unlike other science-fiction pieces, which focus on only the development of science and technology far in the future, Dune covers how religions, politics, and methods of war have developed over time. - It's written in third person and includes multiple perspectives. The only time it isn't third person is when it covers someone's thoughts. - There is a lack of the word "and" after commas. This was weird to adjust to, but I got used to it. It made scenes move quicker in my head, I guess. - Two chapters will cover one character's experience, then the third will jump to a different character, then it will jump back to the first character in the following chapter. - It's a huge adventure. The events that happen keep you going.

- Austin Butler had a skull cap covering his hair and his eyebrows because he had another acting job lined up immediately after he finished Dune. And, you are correct, Butler does sound like Stellan Skarsgard (The Baron). Butler watched Skarsgard films to get the way he talks since Feyd was raised by the Baron. - Dune was published in 1965 and is basically science fiction's answer and equivalent to Lord of the Rings. It won the Nebula and Hugo Awards for Best Novel, the highest honors in sci-fi literature. The book was tremendously influential. There is a documentary you should see about the first attempt to bring Dune to the big screen by Mexican surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film is called Jodorowsky's Dune, and make no mistake, the film Jodorowsky sought to make was never produced due to the budget, but the people who worked on it are still influencing science fiction films today. Frank Herbert used to half-joke that he could have sued George Lucas because of all of the similarities between Dune and Star Wars, but he never did. Lucas has also flatly denied being influenced by Dune. If you see the documentary, the team Jodorowsky put together made a huge book of concept art and completely storyboarded the film...I kinda think Lucas might have peeked through one of the books floating around the studios at the time, which was the early 1970s. But, that's my theory with no proof. - The Water of Life is the bile of the "little makers" as the Fremen call them. What is not covered in the film is some of the properties of the spice. The smell and the initial taste of spice is like a very strong cinnamon. After the initial taste, it never tastes the same, but always smells of cinnamon. The spice is a byproduct of the life cycle of the worms, and how is kinda involved...suffice it to say, the Water of Life also has the same cinnamon smell, so I guess it also tastes of cinnamon as well (but, I do not recall if the novel got that specific). - The reveal of Jessica being the daughter of Baron Harkonnen is only half of the story. Her mother was the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, who tested Paul with the box. To get even weirder...the reason that the Baron is so fat is that he angered Mohiam so much that when they did it to create Jessica, she also created a kind of super STD just for him as they were doing the deed. He was built more like Feyd at the time...and, this is only hinted at in the movie, The Baron is gay. So, there were...performance issues. The disease left the Baron with an eventually tremendous weight gain, with his bones becoming very brittle and unable to carry his huge weight gain, and he also lost a lot of his libido. Which is why he has the device that allows him to float around. - When Paul drinks the Water of Life, he not only gained the knowledge of his female ancestors, like all Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers do...he gained the knowledge of his male ancestors, which the Reverend Mothers cannot access. This is the power of the Kwisatz Haderach, a male Bene Gesserit. - Frank Herbert wrote: “I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health." " Paul is not a hero, he is not a savior, but he is a charismatic leader. - Dune 3 will be based on the second novel Dune Messiah, which takes place 12 years after Dune. However a few things that have been changed for these films will change things in Dune Messiah. A lot was cut from the book, some major things were altered, and the next film will need to address a lot of these things.

Seb posting these DUNE reactions back to back just right after watching them🥲🥲 Thanks Seb❤

[@hi3694]

It'll re-release in IMAX when award season comes around - it's going to win so many awards. I've never seen explosions that look as good as the ones in this film. They don't mask the scale, like Nolan had to do with Oppenheimer's nuke test, which looked like a rat fart in comparison to what the VFX team did here. I highly recommend it in IMAX. Top 3 IMAX experience I've ever had was when the worm is coming to Paul for his first ride. I could feel my heartstrings thrumming with the bass. Nuts. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend reading the first Dune book, as good as these movies are, the books still take it to that next level for me. Long live the fighters!

[@ukuviispert9599]

Just saying, ur question about whether paul is just deceiving them or actually wants to live by their ways was answered in the scene u asked it in, a moment before Chani joined Paul when he was sitting down he took off his father#s ring and said he found his way or something like that, meaning he chose the fremen

[@kingscorpion7346]

the time had to be compressed for the sake of the movie. in the novel, it took Paul a couple of years fighting the Harkonnens with the Fremen before the Emperor finally arrived. during that time Paul and Chani had a baby, that was killed in a Harkonnen attack at their sietch.

[@SomeGuy4245-f1v]

The first three of Frank Herbert's Dune books take place over a couple decades or so, but the other three take place over a thousand years. Funny you should mention Paul's duality. In the long run, his love for Chani and desire for a peaceful life kept him from fully realizing the Golden Path. The thing with Paul's sister is that there was a time jump of two years in the book when they were living with the Fremen. His sister was born, and due to the Water of Life, had the mind of a fully developed adult.

Time for Seb's brain to explode 🎉🎉

[@waltergilpinjr9041]

I was expecting a "That's what she said" from Seb when Stilgar said "Not that big" at Pauls first ride of a worm.

[@naturafdiak9408]

I watched this in theatres it was the best thing I have ever witness, huge respect for not going and instead doing a video.

[@bigbadjohn7053]

There was so much game of thrones style build up in the books they could have easily filled a 10 hour miniseries. But Dune deserves the IMAX treatment visually, and I believe Villeneuve did a pretty good job getting to heart of what Frank Herbert intended.

[@tabunnat]

these two movies were just the first book! and yeah, dune came out before mad max (it was published in 1965) and was actually the inspiration for star wars!

[@whatevafield]

I hope you could see it in the theatres! I think they are still showing them in some cinemas in Germany and Sweden, so maybe you can get lucky🎉

[@Frostbite08]

There were 6 Dune novels, plus another 2 by the original author's son after he passed. Everything in these two movies was from book 1. There is absolutely more story to tell.

[@204154529]

Rebecca's acting during the "sandworm piss" scene was incredible.

[@GWMAe2.0]

Dune 2 really feels like the Greatest Sci Fi Movie Ever Sebs gonna Love it

[@40krocks21]

SEE THIS IN IMAX WHILE YOU CAB. Just saw it last week and what an experience. Some of these shots are insane. Then the sound, man what an experience. My favorite theater experience since avengers infinity war.

[@WhiteWolfDarkpaw]

3:15 Jessica threw up because she literally saw them draining water from men that were still alive. Dying, but still alive, and they'd just push away their weak protestations like a fly buzzing near your dinner. But yes, Stilgar was upset about the water being wasted to the desert. I am glad to see you understand the importance of water now

[@Spiny14]

Austin played brilliantly as faade

[@user-js2sv]

I had goosebumps the entire time watching this in IMAX, the sheer scale of it is just amazing, the sound effects and visuals were so incredible.

[@beetlebob4675]

Think of this as the thematic equivalent of this universe's "season one of Game of Thrones". Everything in part 1 and 2 are dominoes, and by the time things really get going, you'll look back on this and feel like everyone was worried about the wrong shit.😂

[@Muxel66]

Saw it on the world‘s largest screen, IMAX near Stuttgart, Germany. It was mind blowing!

[@itss_nattyj]

Yesss, Seb! You’re the first reactor I’ve seen react to part 2, and so quickly after reacting to part 1. Thank you for this entertaining content on a gloomy Saturday afternoon.

[@yomamaisonfire]

QUICK MATH: 38 mil decaliters = 380 mil liters/average water in a person is 42liters = over 9 million souls in the waters of Sietch Tabr alone

[@Matisaro]

No one so far noticed that Gurney face tanked a whip strike just to end Rabban that quickly. It looks like he did not block it and took the whip face on with his scar.

[@MindfulMya]

Truly this film needs to be seen in theatres. I watched the first dune at home and I’m like this will be better in theatre. Saw dune 2 in theatre and was just in awwww.

[@Leppalimes]

I believe he was using a subtle amount of the voice during his speech at the war council. It gets louder toward the end and then blends in with the soundtrack.

[@qcrew2938]

Best Sci-Fi picture in the last 20 years

[@jakehaynes1439]

they have an extended IMAX run next week, if you have one near you it will show it.

[@tomaskennedy]

30:30 Obviously they don’t actually show it on screen, but apparently he burned her alive with a flamethrower, just for kicks!! (Hence the line "Only pleasure remains…")

[@sirjohnmara]

03:30 They will not run out of "thumpers" - they're called "STÖTA". You can buy them at the local IKEA outside of Arrakeen!

[@elenawinslow2717]

If you want to see more of Timothée Chalamet in this type of role (coming into that power/leadership, but without the sci-fi of Dune), I recommend the 2019 Netflix original movie "The King"

[@rebel8215]

There actually is a Dune game called Dune: Spice Wars. It's a strategy game. They're also making a Dune MMO.

[@guilhermegoncalves1161]

Paul Arteides story was never about a Hero's Hourney, but a Villain's Origin.

[@pandakun8556]

THAT soon? crazy

[@viking_2112]

This film was honestly such an incredible experience in IMAX

[@JoeMama410]

This movie is the conclusion of the first book, so the next movie will be a true sequel. When it comes out I’m sure you can catch the first two in theaters in the weeks ahead.

[@Hauns91]

This had to be the best theater experience in IMAX. One of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time. The score was fucking insanity.

[@AidanShortall-nh3jb]

Hi Seb, I don't know if you will read this, but I just wanted to let you know your videos really put a smile on our faces I'm going through a tough time right now but your videos keep me going. Thank you for that.🙂

[@wantsomecoffe]

28:12 gives Alien Covenant 'look upon my works ye mighty and despair' chivers 🥶🥶

[@alisonswan7691]

I saw this in theater twice and I can't explain the thrill we all felt at the end scene. It was an amazing experience!

[@chasebishop309]

the theater experience was something else

[@radicaladz]

The true villain of the Dune universe: cults of personality and charismatic leaders.

[@NumberFiveYT]

I’m rewatching this in IMAX today, so I’ll come back to your reaction after watching!

[@Joe93187]

It's some top tier acting imo. Movie is phenomenal.

[@entertainingandfun2719]

37:17 this bit in theaters was MAD

[@AngkatanNamwaran]

The spice comes from the worms... without the worms, there would be no spice.

[@aidenbell3487]

Dune: Messiah is confirmed. This is the second book of the series and will be the third film. I don't know if they'll call it a part 3, though. Doubt it.

[@Killerkwoi13]

Just a point, when you say “imagine there was no worms, just hours and hours of mining spice” that’s not quite true as spice is made by the worms eating the sand and then secreting spice. If the worms were gone then spice wouldn’t exist.

[@canigotobednow9223]

Saw this in 4DX the day after it came out. One of the best movie-watching experiences of my life.

[@noelxxstrong]

im really sad i only got to see this once in imax because life got in the way but god it was such an experience lmfao. the seats were rumbling from the bass. it was amazing

[@Humanipathic]

Put respect on Feyd’s name. He’s on par with Paul. Skilled and trained, Olympic type skills said by director. He was toying w/with last guy and laughing. And he used a flame thrower. Pay attention.

[@jabp8]

this movie is going to win so many oscars

[@beqamarsagishvili6988]

Have you ever heard Elvis speaking voice? Austin was speaking like his uncle and whoever they are.

[@IcedXD]

Honestly I watched this movie not expecting much but god was I wrong this movie was absolute PEAK the cinematography, story, character arcs, visual effects it was PEAK instantly became my second favourite film of all time behind Pirates of the Carribbean at world's end

[@nolol272]

nothing makes my day more than seeing seb upload🙏🙏🙏

[@alyxgriffen5073]

Seb -- This movie and the first were from the first book, DUNE. The next movie, DUNE 3, will be of the second book, DUNE: MESSIAH.

[@larkdelmar9234]

27:10 Paul's eyes turned blue because he'd been using spice in his food for a long time, and probably inhaled the air with them. The effect is not instantaneous, but gradual.

[@DonFatherTrump]

19:31 The way the pilot looked at homeboy when he said he lost them? 😂 Like "You must be new here."

[@Bananna_man]

This was no joke the loudest movie I’ve ever watched right behind top gun maverick

[@johnnyemmerson300]

Seb’s gonna love this one
