Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid Lynch, director of the previous Dune (1984), stated that he has "zero interest" in the new movie. He cited that his issues have nothing to do with director Denis Villeneuve but with his own painful memories of making the 1984 version: "Because it was a heartache for me. It was a failure and I didn't have final cut. I've told this story a billion times. It's not the film I wanted to make. I like certain parts of it very much - but it was a total failure for me."
- GoofsDespite several mentions of the intensity of the sun on Arrakis, no character ever wears any eye protection.
- Quotes
Lady Jessica Atreides: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past... I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Crazy creditsAs a prologue at the start of the film, a Sardaukar priest chants "Dreams are messages from the deep", as it is subtitled onscreen.
Everbody giving the same score, critizing exactly the same (which is BS) and having only 1 review per account. It saddens me deeply the internet has succumb to this kind of culture. I never wrote a review, but I feel this project really doesn't deserve whats going on. Hence my first review
I new what Dune was about, but was new to the story. Villeneuve scceeds in letting you experience how the world works, rather than explaining everything. And there seems to be a rich and well thought-out lore to comprehend. From tech to society, culture and environment its a blast and perfectly directed.
The cast is superb and it shows in every scene. I expected nothing less form big names like Momoa, Zendaya and Isaac, but this was my first movie with Chalamat. Consider me a new fan. He nails Paul's inital teenage mindset and his personal growth. Most importantly he delivers a stunning performance in scenes I imagine are really hard to do, like the box scene.
I also want to mention Stellan Skarsgård who gives us a captivating antagonist. The Harkonnen are generally done very well, but Skarsgård's Baron is way up there with other beloved movie antagonists.
