Dune: Part 1 - Movie Review

[@tobluetoblack]

"If Dune part two doesn't happen... I'm gonna lose it." Well there's a ringing endorsement of a film if ever there was one

[@HimmelGanger]

That is the problem with this movie, it is one long teaser trailer, I saw it a month ago here in Norway, and I agree the movie feels very weird and not complete and as such if I have to judge on its own this is a pointless movie. If part 2 gets made I will revisit that opinion. The movie is very pretty but I feel it is dead, there is not a feeling that this is a living place/galaxy and that is also why I was disappointed in the movie it doesn't suspend my sense of disbelief and, since the worlds doesn't feel like a place where people live in.

[@RamPuppy]

going to have to disagree on sound design - i enjoyed the film but it was the weakest part of the movie. there were a lot of times - as a person who's read the books many times - I was left thinking "What the hell did she just say?" I am sitting there in the theater enjoying the extra layers of immersion wishing I was watching it on HBOMax so I could turn on CC. Mostly that complaint was centered around Jessica (whos performance I felt was overly emotional, it did not convey the bene gesserit as masters of their own bodies.. I mean.. these women can alter molecules in their own body, control every muscle fiber and are trained to be master manipulators and Jessica portrayed none of that to me. I also felt like the movie was made for fans - but it's going to leave your ordinary person going 'wtf...' because there is so much that isn't given context. Which does not give me hope for part 2 being made. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed it - it has flaws - but I liked it. (The other thing that really annoyed me was the scene filmed outside around the date palms. It very much felt like they forgot to do a LUT correction - the brightness was dialed back so much... felt like it had been filmed through a pair of sunglasses.

Newflash, he didn't, it's a visual masterpiece, and the crappy adaptation. Pacing is rushed after a slow start, characters underused and in the case of Lady Jessica so badly written it's not even funny, I might need to read the book again just be sure that Jessica is a hand wringing borderline neurotic on the edge of hysteria 24/7, because I'm pretty sure she is nothing at all like that in the books, that was sarcasm btw, Rebecca Ferguson is a fine actress and she is let down by some of the worst writing I've ever seeen in an adaptation. You say you've read the books, I suggest reading Dune again after the hype has worn off and asking yourself if Villeneuve could've done better job. There is no escaping the simple fact that it is a bad adaptation, no ammount of visual brilliance will change that, for it to look this good and fail so badly at giving us the adaptation it deserves is just sad, deaparately sad.

There’s only 2 movies that have ever given that escapism for me, Avatar and Tron Legacy, and I’m sure the IMAX 3D presentation played a hand in that.. Aquaman maybe, kinda, visuals were really good. Neither of the Blade Runner movies did it. Space movies like 2001 and Gravity were close. And I can already tell from Dune’s cinematography/visual language this ain’t it. SciFi dessert landscapes have never grabbed me, unless pod racing was involved but that had more to do with the racing than the setting. The shot of Liu Kang’s silhouette in front of the sun/desert landscape in the MK movie struck awe in me better than anything here. I did not like Bladerunner 2049’s slow burn at all, despite loving the IP’s cyberpunk motifs. I don’t know anything about Dune’s story/characters but if they’re not strong enough to carry this “cinematic experience” than I fear it’s just gonna be another 2049 for me. Avatar’s the greatest “world experience” escapism of all time, Tron Legacy a close second. Everything else is miles behind IMO and requires interaction via a video game to be a truly immersive experience.

Not exactly the best comparison. People might be disappointed if they come in expecting lord of the rings. Dune is far more about phylosophy and politics and is more of a slow burn than the traditional fantasy adventure story. For example the books just flat out skip the largest and bloodiest war in human history as if it is nothing just because the war itself doesnt affect the story, only it's aftermath does.

It's incredibly funny that there are some idiots and ingnorance complain that Dune is a "Star Wars rip off" when the original book came out years before the original Star Wars.

And the best part is, it has inspired a lot of generation and it's gonna continue to inspire more, the book is timeless masterpiece. Dune did it first not Star Wars.

[@Robert-hz9bj]

I was genuinely impressed by this movie, which shocked me. I grew up reading all six of the "Dune" books and it's one of my favorite series of all time. But I thought the sheer magnitude and scope of the first book alone was impossible to turn into a good movie. Very happy to see I was wrong. One aspect of the movie I really enjoyed was that, unlike the other film and miniseries attempts, they actually touch on the plot element of the "Missionaria Protectiva," which is the policy of the Bene Gesserit to basically invent religions and superstitions on less advanced worlds so their members can manipulate the locals if the need arises. This matters a lot to me, because the previous attempts to film Dune tend to ignore this extremely important element of the story. This often leads to the inaccurate criticism that Paul is embodying the elements of a cliche "messianic" or "mighty whitey" trope by apparently fulfilling the realities of the Fremens' magical savior prophecy. The whole point of the books is that, of course he fulfills the elements of the Fremens' prophesized savior. The entire prophecy was bullshit invented by foreign powers so that those who were aware (ex. Lady Jessica) of it could manipulate them to their own ends. The entire point of Paul supposedly being the "Voice from the Outer World" is that messiah prophecies are idiotic and cults of personality are dangerous.

[@BHCha-]

Great comment. Totally agree.

[@asawasa2806]

yeah too bad they completely omitted the navigators and mentats and the emperor and what the f spice is and how its used (i know they mention it briefly). Seems like they could be saving that for part 2 but damn to miss out on a few key facts and people seems like really crappy storytelling.

[@Robert-hz9bj]

@Mike Hunt It's easy to miss sometimes thanks to the sheer amount of STUFF happening. Dune deals with such a massive volume of themes, ranging from the political to the ecological that it's crazy easy to miss one or two. It took someone else pointing it out for me to realize that Melange was likely (at least in part) a metaphor for oil.

[@Robert-hz9bj]

@Mike Hunt There's a wonderfully telling moment from the books where Liet Kynes meets Paul for the first time and realizes that Paul managed to put on his stillsuit correctly despite it being the first time he ever wore one. Now, for the reader or someone not from Arrakis, this would probably just be taken as "Oh, this boy is very intuitive," or "I see he's really good at the Bene Geseritt observational techniques his mother taught him." Kynes, on the other hand is absolutely blown away by this, remembering a line from the prophecy "He shall know your ways as if born to them," planting the seed in Kynes' mind that there might be something to this "Voice from the Outer World" thing, even though we see later that there are a ton of Fremen traditions and cultural norms (aka, "ways") that Paul doesn't know jack-shit about.

I literally just got out of the theater. This movie was bloody amazing. It is a serious science fiction epic presented with all sincerity and not a single wink at the camera, something we really don't get very often. If Dune part 2 somehow does not happen, the entire executive board should be stuffed in a canon and fired into the sun.

[@troikas3353]

@Lycanthrope Nah, Momoa was perfectly fine. OG Duncan isn't the most unique or multifaceted character in the book and Momoa giving him a bit of personality, even if that personality was basically just a slightly more civilized version of Ronin from Atlantis, worked well. The meat of Duncan's story takes place outside of the original novel in books that are, honestly, pretty unlikely to ever be adapted and what we got of him here served this story well enough.

@Lycanthrope OK we get it, he ruined your favourite super hero in Aquaman. He was fine in this. As said earlier, Idaho doesn't really become a major character until later, he was even more short lived in the book really. What exactly made him "terrible" and why would you waste so much time on it? You didn't like it, awesome, jog on.

Seeing this movie reminded me of how much I loved going blindly in to see lord of the rings. Everything about this movie felt so organic and colossal in the way the scenes were represented. I got subtle reminders of Star Wars and the matrix when they were setting that Paul could be ‘The One.’ The costumes were amazing as well, all the pieces were so unique and visceral to look at. I teared up at certain parts of the movie, especially when the father dies and the mothers anxiety toward her sons fate also made me feel vulnerable. I could go on and on but I haven’t experienced a movie like this in a long time and I’m glad I went in blindly just as I did to lord of the rings and enjoyed every minute of it.

The only thing that I miss in this movie was "what the characters were thinking" like in the 80s movies and the books, but other than that, it was an awesome rendition and reboot of the franchise. Let's hope is not just a part 2 but a Trilogy.

[@Diss3mbled]

I renditioned ur mum got em'

[@OutOfElmo]

Frankly, it’s an impossible task to show that inner monologue and avoid being off-putting to a lot of the audience. I’d be fine with it, but many people hate that kind of contrivance.

[@dlaniganohara]

@@OutOfElmo Fight Club proves you wrong on it being impossible, but it is difficult

[@Flufferz626]

@@dlaniganohara the Gom Jabbar scene where Jessica was freaking out behind the door in the book was about 4 pages of internal dialogue and thoughts from her. But it all boils down to "I'm scared my son is going to die and sympathize with his pain and the Bene Gesserit are going to crucify me for training him." Better to let the actress show it visibly imo. Which she did spectacularly.

[@Anonymiter]

@@Flufferz626 All three actors in that scene sell every necessary nuance needed to fill in the gaps of the book's inner monologues. The sound and set design alongside the brief visuals take it just that small step further. It was such a satisfying version of the scene to watch.

[@Manoahmanolo]

Dune did pretty well here in European countries, so I think it is safe to assume part 2 will happen. Probably a trilogy even.

[@randomguy6679]

How well are we talking?

[@clit_niblr0375]

Not to disrespect the European countries, but if the film doesn't do well in the States and/or China then a sequel probably might not happen.

[@florentdevier]

​@@user-ow4ij8ix3m After years of instagram and Kardashians i'm affraid that's true. Now great movies, well crafted, written and played are seen as "pretentious boring crap". That's why you get a fast & furious 10, a transformers 8 and no sequel to a Blade Runner 2049.

[@Thundah_Dome]

It's apparently blowing away expectations at the box office. And that's with HBO max being able to watch. It's FANTASTIC. And I'm sure a part 2 will be made. It'll be a mistake if it doesn't. Edit: Can we also get this director on Star Wars? please?

[@WimukthiBandara]

Watched this today. It's a breathtaking audio visual experience and is clearly made by fans of the book for the fans. A labour of love. Now we all understand why Jodorwsky said his movie should be 14 hours long. At two and half hours I felt like it whizzed by and there so much more of the story left to tell. I hope the next movie will be at least three hours long.

[@Malt454]

"However, in December 2020, Villeneuve stated that Warner Bros.' plan to simultaneously release the film in theaters and on HBO Max could result in the film's underperforming financially, which could lead to cancellation of the planned sequel." - Wiki. He's right: streaming services DON'T produce entertainment of this scale... but they undercut their profits so as to make the next one that much harder to get made. Whether it means to or not, Warner Bros. is actively helping to kill the blockbuster and, much as I've liked various series on HBO, it's going to result in less art rather than more. People don't produce massive feature films to simply put them on TV; David Lean wouldn't have made Lawrence of Arabia just to put it on the box.

[@ThatDruidDude]

Just like disney with black widow. Why tf did they release straight to streaming one month before cinemas in many parts of the world is reopening. From a money making stand point that is idiotic.

[@Malt454]

@@ThatDruidDude - I guess I can see it in one respect: the streaming services that these companies want to sell are relatively new, and so need exceptional exclusive content in order to get people signed up and used to paying these fees. The content on HBO, Crave and others were far better once upon a time, too, but now you need HBO Max for better content, while the older services are now little better than standard cable and, frequently, not as good as TCM and AMC on any given day. It follows the same pattern: local programming

[@blaket1841]

Except if they factor in that it made them money through streaming. I only picked up max this month specifically for Dune.

[@ThatDruidDude]

@@Malt454 yup I'm guessing the same. Maybe those services offer a good deal to the studios so they can get big names for more subscriptions. And studios might consider it good for their cashflow in this hard time.

It's actually the first of 3 movies. The director wants to make this a trilogy: Dune: Part 1, Dune: Part 2, and Dune: Messiah! Edit: They are also making a spin-off series on HBO Max about the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood.

Wish they would at least get into God Emperor of Dune. Leto II is such a fascinating character. And it would be the perfect spot to end the saga, considering Frank Herbert never finished the last book.

[@snowbearer]

First off - full disclosure: I've seen the movie twice now, going for a third viewing, second time in IMAX, next week. So full on fanboy here in Finland. This was the review that I was looking forwards the most as kind of a litmus test for myself liking the movie so much. And Jeremy did not let me down. Thanks for that! Secondly, I'm kinda HOPING we get good and lengthy Spoiler talk about Dune, as I'd like to hear Jeremy gush more about the visuals, the music, the performances etc. But then again... Do we really deserve to get one BEFORE they announce part 2 is happening? Yes, we do. But I'd fully understand getting that only once we get the announcement. Also, although I'm an atheist, I'm borderline praying that they announce part 2 soon as it's likely we get the Dune: Sisterhood series confirmation announcement along with it. Still it does look like they'll wait for people to "vote with their money" as the hype is still on before making their mind, although I also think they've already made up their minds in the dark conference rooms of Hollywood. Either way, thanks for yet another great video Jeremy. Loving the content as always!

[@yahyarajaee5883]

The most disappointing thing about this movie is that it covers only 300 pages of the first book. But it’s a vintage Villeneuve movie and easily one of the best movies of 2021

It's an immersive experience. Beautifully shot with a strong cast. The slow burn pace is apt as there are thousands of years of history at play between the different political factions. Love the choice of a dark color tone with the Bene Gesserit scenes. Fits their modus operandi to a tee.
