Did you catch any little details in “Dune?” Let us know in the comments.

I watched it without knowing anything about dune going into it, and my mind is blown. I can’t stop thinking about this universe, It’s like a glimpse into one of our possible futures.

This movie is a much needed breath of Fresh Air in Modern Cinema.

One of my favorite quotes from this EPIC film was:
"A great man doesn't seek to lead. He is called to it."

[TeamRemForever]

Seeing Dune in IMAX turned out to be the greatest cinematic experience of my life! I can't wait for Dune: Part 2!

[blorgin]

The things I can’t stop thinking about: The creepy ominous vibe of Baron Harkkonen, the intensity of the “voice”, the intriguing sound of the Sardaukar language/chant. A visual and auditory treat this movie was. This is poised to be the sci-fi series of the decade in my opinion. Star Wars? What’s that?

Possessing the alternate vision of Jamis as his mentor, must have made killing Jamis that much more heavier for Paul.

[josephgeidel]

When Paul kills Jamis, notice that Jamis is in the middle of switching his knife to his other hand behind his back. In the novel, Chani warns Paul that Jamis is know to pull this exact move.

Book readers who've seen the film 3 times: "haha no"

[EddieTownson]

The Harkkonen’s cruelty is their undoing. Dune’s cruel ecology combined with Harkkonen oppression makes it even more harsh place than Salusa Secundus, which is why the Fremen become the ideal warriors to defeat the Sardukar.

"Top ten things you missed" without having read the books i didn't miss a single one of these. Villeneuve knows how to get a point across

[ledmirg]

There are 3 kinds of ornithopters shown in the movie, the Atreides make (more angular with 4 wings), the Harkonnen make (bulkier with 6 wings), and the... fremen (?) make 2 seater (round, more sleek, 4 wings)...

When I saw the ornithopters in the theater on day one I got teary eyed, so much of the essence of the book was captured within them.

“Dreams are messages from the deep” The deep could also means deep from your own mind.

There were scenes that were filmed but didn't make the cut. I hope there's a director's cut for home video release with those scenes added in because it was the fastest two and a half hours for this movie.

[ericsong]

I love how in the end, when Jamis challenges Jessica to a fight, she starts taking her pack off so they can duel. She would have won easily because she knows the Bene Gesserit fighting style (weirding way). But ofc she gets stopped by Stilgar because he knows her status

If you watch a movie and the next day you spend time to look into lore, things you missed and forums..that means it had a impact :D

[MCNinjaDJ]

Two fun details that were missed:
1. Just before Duncan's final fight you can see him pick up a beetle. This same beetle appears in Paul's vision of Duncan's death at the start of the movie.

2. The book hints at different models of ornithopters with different carry capacities. In the book the Duke says his thopter can carry an extra man when they go to rescue the spice miners from the crawler. In the movie we see at least 3 different models of ornithopter, each with a different number of wings. The Duke's has 4 on each side for 8 total. The one Paul flies near the end has 2 on each side for 4 total. And the one that Duncan uses to rescue Paul and Jessica after the attack has 3 wings on each side for 6 total.

One detail was missing from this list: the fact that lasers are also banned in the Dune Universe. The reaction between a laser and a shield is catastrophic, and that´s why humans have returned to the old ways of combat, using knives and swords instead.

I literally thought Baron gave out major Marlon Brando/Colonel Kurtz vibes in the film when I watched it with a few friends. Superb acting from Stellan Skarsgard.

[alaychem]

Paul tells Duncan he stinks when meeting him after the scout mission. It's a reference to the book saying the fremen stink when being inside because of their stillsuits
