Dune - Cosmonaut Quickie

“this movie adapts about 2 quarters of the first book”
isn’t that just… a half?

“Denis has literally never made a bad movie and he deserves to be able to finish this”
Damn straight

The way they depicted The Voice was so cool to hear in a theater

This movie drew me in rather quickly. Never saw the older movie, never read the book. It's often very hard for me to turn off my inner critic and just go on the journey, but this movie made it effortless. I felt like I was in the hands of a master. Visually stunning, dialogue that's almost lyrical at times, a score that was AMAZING. It was a feast for my mind and all of my senses.

as someone who saw this movie literally knowing nothing about dune but "big sand worm" i really hope they make more movies because i left this movie not really knowing what i just saw

“This movie adapts two quarters of the first book” gives of the same energy as “you killed my mom’s sister!”

Zendaya’s Chani representing Paul’s destiny in his visions was absolutely ingenious. Many people were upset she wasn’t in the film more but there was a great payoff when she finally shows up and speaks so candidly as opposed to how auspicious she seems in his dreams. And then Paul hesitating to tell her, really perfectly set the stage for their future relationship. Paul is so vulnerable in that moment.

So now we have to wait another 4-5 years for part 2. Then they need to do the rest of the books.

Maybe they'll finish by 2047.

The detail of everyone smiling in the thumbnail except Gurney is ~chef’s kiss~

I really like how all the dudes touch each other, made me really feel like that loved and cared for each others, especially around Paul, cos they raised him y'know. Humanised the bois a lil for me

[shinkamui]

when you wanna rewatch a half-story for the visual and design alone, you know they did a fricking good job lmao. I didnt know dune before but god, am I blown away by those aspects of it

[prowrestlingcountdown]

I love a movie that “Shows” and doesn’t “Tell” so much. Mad Max did that too a few years ago. As someone who didn’t read the book, I never felt info was being dumped on me.

[GeneralxGrievousx]

I just tell people Dune is "Game of Thrones in Space" when they ask what its about. & I believe, for better or worse, Game of Thrones paved the way for the success of Dune as whole. It opened the mainstream to slow burning politic intrique plots with hints of brutal action & underlying mystesism.

[FoxyGrandpa]

I loved the world building. It's setting up the second movie perfectly. Also, the visuals were fantastic.

[FakeMessiah]

You say it's not particularly friendly for people new to the world of Dune, but I don't know, as a newbie myself I found it perfectly digestible. Absolutely loved it, now planning on reading the book and can't wait for the hopefully green-lit part two!

"It is about SPACE POLITICS"
Gives me old Phantom Menace flashbacks

There were a few things I’m surprised weren’t explained, but I’m pleased with how well my friends who are not “Dune Enjoyers” picked up on some of the finer details of the plot. Then when one had a minor question, I could use scenes from the movie to explain it. It is a masterpiece of distilling dense source material onto the screen.

Josh Brolin just can’t fucking lose man. Banger after banger after banger of badass roles.

[kenyagerald]

I never read the books, went into this movie with 0 context, just the knowledge that George Lucas pulled basically all his motivation for Star Wars from the Dune books. This film showed me many things I'd never seen before, so immersive and visual stunning. Motivated me to buy the books and I'm a massive fan now. Can't wait for the sequels
