Dune 2 - SandWorm Riding scene

Sandworms are colossal, worm-like creatures that live on the desert planet Arrakis. Their larvae produce a drug called melange (known colloquially as "the spice"), the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe because it makes safe and accurate interstellar travel possible. Melange deposits are found in the sand seas of Arrakis, where the sandworms live and hunt, and harvesting the spice from the sand is a dangerous activity because sandworms are aggressive and territorial. Harvesting vehicles must be airlifted in and out of the sand sea in order to evade sandworm attacks. The struggle over the production and supply of melange is a central theme of the Dune saga. The sandworms are reverently called Shai-Hulud by the planet's indigenous Fremen, who worship them as agents of God whose actions are a form of divine intervention.

The theater felt like an earthquake when he was riding the worm. The amc dolby atmos theater was insane!

"And thats how, my grandson, i had to go to school every day..."

[reecemnl]

"Ok, now how do I get off!?"

[QuayNemSorr]

3 hours later: "Where the hell am I? I knew I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque"

that noise at 1:17 where it sounds like the massive amount of air trapped in the mouth is wooshing right before it smacks into the dune with an insane amount of power- such incredible sound design

Until Dune 2, I’ve never gone back to a theater to see the same film twice. It was an absolute pleasure to see it in Dolby.

[bulletbates]

The reason he said "woah, not that big!" Is because someone before he set the thumper said "don't embarres us, call a big one"

Go big or go home

[maximilliansantiago]

I think that you did this scene an injustice by cutting out the space between...

[leeedsonetwo]

I bet you cannot get life insurance with a hobby like that

[alessandronova]

trailer knows damn well it cut the 2 best parts. 1. the first time his body lifts off the worm and he’s literally hanging on for dear life and you felt your stomach drop
when you watched it in theaters. 2. when he finally finds his footing and takes the calm confident step up and the Hanz Zimmer score goes absolutely insane

[cjkalandek]

The surround sound system in the Cinemark XD theater made this scene 10x better. But I can only imagine how much better it sounded in an IMAX theater.

[TCS]

Wheres the Stilgar shot of him in complete awe??? lmao

[goreycinema]

God, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Watching this in IMAX was a life changing experience.

[trevorbristow]

One of the best theater experience that ive ever had. Seen it 3 times and definitely the best movie of the year thus far. INCREDIBLE MOVIE

[theoneinthemiddle]

When the sound of the worm hit my ears, I almost fainted. I had on headphones and it was ridiculously loud. Thought I was getting hit by a truck.

[Daquan]

This film got me absolutely hooked.. this scene left me in awe, the character developments were great

[rythias]

I love how the music is immense and grand but slightly evil, almost as if it’s more than of an “oh no” moment, if you’ve read the books you know this isn’t a good thing

[canamrider]

Just like riding a Kraken. Lots of fun, and once you get the hang of it tis easy.

[KingCraze]

Man, when Stilgar cheers I get chills every time. You can just feel how proud they all are.

[opposedlogic]

fun fact, Paul Atreides son (Leto Atreides II) becomes half sandworm, ascending to a god. he then rules all of humanity for 3500 years before allowing himself to be assassinated. while being a worm god he does not look like a human, he looks like a massive worm with a human face.
