[@bobbressi5414]

This man remembers what so many directors have forgotten. Great cinematography. Too many modern directors seem to think if you fill the screen with colorful chaos you are creating art. Sometimes less is more. This movie succeeds because of the subtlety. The battles, even when they are massive, are always shot with a restraint that makes them much more genuine. I loved the final battle in Avengers Endgame, but that movie is pure escapism. My suspension of disbelief is turned up to 11 when I watch that kind of movie. In contrast to the Dune films which are an imersive experience. You walk out of the theatre feeling you visited a world hundreds of light years away, a few thousand years in the future.

[@killer3000ad]

About the shields subject: Shields induce a frenzied state in worms, and a laser striking the shield triggers a nuclear explosion. This explosion occurs at the point of collision between the laser and the shield, either within the lasgun itself or in both versions simultaneously. A nuclear explosion on Arrakis has the potential to irreversibly alter the atmosphere, landscape, and significantly damage the ecosystem, spice mining could be impossible after such catastrophe. If my memory serves me right, Duncan Idaho was the only individual who deliberately fired a laser at the shield as a final resort.

[@housemaged]

I think Duncan had left an activated shield in one of the hideouts that the Harkonnens were just blasting away with lasguns.

in IMAX this becomes a spiritual experience i now have the 4k to watch at home but cant watch it, feels like blasphemy to not watch this in cinema. I have an amazing home cinema but doesnt come close to IMAX experience. i was literally BLOWN AWAY!

[@rscull210]

This movie is so immersive that I was so entranced by the awesome cinematography that I didn’t even realize floating like that was a special effect. Thought they were real Harkonnen soldiers who just Did That.

[@garyluchansky2674]

As soon as I can afford the rental I will watch this, looks amazing!😮

[@forest8779]

As soon as I can afford the blu ray I'm buying this! Hopefully when Messiah comes out I can complete the trilogy! Batman, matrix, lotr, so many good trilogies out there. Then there's bad boys 🤮

This gravity suit could be so use full in our today’s world. So many applications. Life savers. Firefighters can use it. Window cleaners,construction workers and also can use for actual rock climbing.

what part of it?

[@markpage9886]

No shields in the desert. The worms HATE shields. It's a way to call every worm everywhere.

[@kenofken9458]

Sort of the opposite of plot armor and the genius of writing science fiction. If you don't want some particularly powerful piece of technology to be the go-to for every situation, you just come up with a reason why it won't work in particular situations.

are those lasguns? it looks cool the straight line of trajectory

Best Picture of 2024

[@redmaxremington209]

In s1 it said that the shields create vibrations that can attract the sandstorms which is why the fremen don’t collect them from the harkenons if they wanted to, cause the fremen spend most of their time migrating and walking through worm territory or ambushing spice fields. At least that’s the theory as well and not just the explosion part

black suits are perfect for operating in a desert.

[@bioniclefan1995]

I don't get why they didn't activate shields. They're far above the sand, unless a big worm shows up, they're safe. And unless the Fremen want to risk blowing themselves up to take out this assault group, they don't have to worry about laser's being used against them (and the Fremen are using projectile weaponry against them anyway). They should have turned on shields and then started counter sniping.

[@bioniclefan1995]

@RandomInternetUser-yi5cc it blows up both parties. If it only blew up the shield user there is literally no downside to some sniper taking a potshot at the Baron while he's at a public gathering in his capital.

[@johnstevens1000]

They are trained/habituated to follow doctrine and didn't have time to think about changing tactics in the heat of the moment. If one of the Harkonnens had that moment of epiphany that the threat from lasguns or worms was minimal, all their shields would go up, the Fremen lose, and the movie is 7 minutes long.

[@robertbusek30]

@@johnstevens1000Good points. I think the issues you note here might be because these troops aren’t experienced on Arrakis. And even if they served on the planet before, the Harkonnens didn’t make a habit out of going deeply into the desert…

[@ty814]

1:23 so good in theaters.

[@ed1726]

Lovely wirework scene. Probably the best shot in the movie. I like that the flying is restricted, feels significantly more real. Story is not that great though, but this is true of the book too. The book shines though because it feels like a real alien world, and I suspect that's why everything is as grounded as possible.

[@killer3000ad]

If Michael Bay had directed this, he would have somehow magically transported the US military to Arrakis, this scene would involve a dozen explosions, several 360 pan shots, Paul would be whooping and screaming half the time, and there would be 50 different things happening on screen at the same time, overwhelming the viewers' ability to digest what the hell is going on.

[@vishalthefirst4140]

2:33 Please, someone explain why the one soldier says "no shields" Some say it agitates the worms but that doesn't make sense when you are on top of a mountain

[@williamlam1415]

LOL same i was thinking about it too maybe it’s bc they knew they would be stuck there if they used shields they would’ve been stuck in the Fremens line of fire unable to go anywhere due to worms if they had activated shields, maybe they idea was for them to descend back down and regroup? possible launch a breakout attack but with that small of a group and a well conducted ambush that wouldn’t have worked out either 😭

[@vishalthefirst4140]

@williamlam1415 I thought the shields would disrupt their suits' ability to fly Or block their circulation systems, which keep the suits cooler on the inside

[@CausticCalamityy]

In the Duniverse, the shields they use will cause a nuclear explosion if hit by a laser gun. Hence, the “no shields” command by the leader.

[@AhmadIzzJ]

They're being shot at by lasgun, a laser gun that if shot to an active shield will trigger violent explosion for both shooter and target. Sure they can sacrifice one soldier with a shield pawn, but being that close mean they will all die too. No shield is just a way to give a chance for a survivor to come out safe rather than a full team wipe out.
