agree, this part 1 felt incomplete. because the story is only half. but great nonetheless. wishing for part 2 and all.

Very difficult to cover all in 1 movie.

The 80's version tried it and it was a train wreck and so disjointed.

a beautiful movie of a focused character storyline. the director's method is always focused on the main character's view.

too bad as Dune has a lot of history and background story for all of the other characters.

im in for all the actress and actors, all class AAA people.

Even the story line may be boring to some, but the acting is definitely better.

But for those who went to sleep, u probably dont get what this movie is about.

Try watching the 1984 version. that one maybe u will turn it off. thats even more dry, more long winded.

A great cinematography / story telling will leave you at the edge of the seat no matter where they stop the story at.... in this case, Dune is no exceptional

Yup. Grateful for that. I was like Paul couldn't be leading the Freemen so fast in this movie or maybe it was a training session with Atreides soldiers

Snorting worm poop to get high

taiwan variety show u will like, pretty sexy girls, play stupid games. wow on actors and actress,

thats entertainment.

Correct.

To fully appreciate Dune, there's too much concept and back stories for the typical movie audience.

On macro level:
- Ban on thinking machines
- Mentat
- Bene Geserit
- Ban on nuclear power and energy
- Space folding
- Shield
- Worm/spice life cycle
- The religion back story (kalau aku taip keyword kat sini... sah2 kene kecam/report)

On micro level:
- how powerful/skillful are men like Thufir Hawat, Gurney Halleck, Duncan Idaho, and Stilgar are.
- general how they fear/distrust Bene Geserit and specifically how Lady Jessica can overpower them
- yet at the end... how she fears Paul.
In the book it was written in a way that it gives a sense of how powerful Paul is.

This movie is a masterpiece. First time i watched it, i immediately fell in love with the lore, characters, visuals, environments, etc. So then i went to watch the 1984 dune, dune tv series and children of dune. Then i watched this Dune 2021 again and i really appreciate all the work that went into this movie, the casting is perfect.
Cant wait for part 2. im DUNED!

I highly recommend if you have the time... to read the book. If not all, then just the first one.

But its not a book that you blaze through.

the language and character very spot on from angmoh point of view, u hv sand people speaking arabic like language and brown skin, then u hv german speaking darth lord with nazi army, idk if it should be call racist

is it? then gonna skip dune. last week watch blade runner with parent, almost fall a sleep, feels story not bad.. just.. the tempo is abit slow..

Watched it in 4k HDR already, superb... Mandalorian like sceneries, but about Religion and War... Intragalatic crusade inkambing...

The good balance of viewer attention retention is the political sci fi..... Star Wars. Except the one starting from Jar Jaw binks. The newer ones while are impressive visually, i really can't deal with the nonsense of magically appearing last Jedi that has no relation to anyone.

If I am not mistaken, David Lynch shot a 3+ hours movie but the studio did not like it and took control of editing and cut the movie to around 2 hours to make it be more like Star Wars. At the end the story just does not make sense and glaringly disjointed.

That is why David Lynch disowned the movie and call it his worse movie.

Not only get high but overdose can turn you into navigator which lost the human figure because of mutation.

Most Malaysians are better off watching no brainer movies like Star Wars, Tranmophers and Avengers
