2022-11-06 03:22:41 +0000 UTCThis story accomplished world building in a spectacular fashion and the way the author used the teaching of Paul to prepare for the move was a clever way of introducing the reader to the world as well. As much as I wanted more this was probabaly the best size chunk that could have been bitten off for a movie. My one gripe is it seems to take a lot for granted and almost feels written for a fan of the books and left out some great elements in the sorry that a new viewer would not be familiar with. If you have the time, read the book but stop at this point of the fight with jamis so you don't spoil the second half and you can get familiar with some of the smaller details that were left out.

2022-10-25 04:06:16 +0000 UTCI think the dragonfly aesthetic is just in this movie. The other two adaptations don't have them and I don't recall them being specifically described like that in the book (though it's been years since I read it).

2022-08-14 03:06:43 +0000 UTCBoth Dune and Star Wars were inspired by Foundation, written by Isaac Asimov more than 20 years earlier, and the first science fiction work to incorporate the concept of a galactic empire. Many critics consider Dune to be Frank Herbert's commentary on the concepts introduced in Foundation. Both Dune and Foundation stand, deservedly so, at the pinnacle of science fiction. Now if only someone like Denis Villeneuve would make a movie out of Rama, my life would be complete...

2022-08-08 09:42:30 +0000 UTCDune was published 6 years before George Lucas started writing Star Wars. Some even accuse George for stealing his ideas from Dune. There are tons similarities and connections that can be seen but enough of a difference, imho, to enjoy them separately. Dune is better tho, lol.

2022-08-07 19:07:44 +0000 UTCIt's amazing that we never get to see the emperor, but he's moving all the pieces like a game of chess. Interestingly the emperor weakened both the Atreides and the Harkonnens but in different ways. Yeah the Atreides were basically destroyed but the Harkonnens had to pay for the whole attack with their own money. When the Baron is in the oil and spice healing bath he says "you have no idea what this attack cost" to Batista. The Harkonnens practically used up all their savings to fund the attack. So the Emperor took down House Atreides and made House Harkonnen much less wealthy in the process, and therefore less of a threat to the emperor.

2022-08-07 17:55:32 +0000 UTCYou got that exactly right about the big Star Wars Energy, since Star Wars was heavily inspired by the Dune books written by Frank Herbert Also the year is 10191 but according to their calendar so if we're considering our calendar this would be set around 30000 years in the future from now

2022-08-07 17:13:20 +0000 UTCThis was a movie I didn't expect to love. I'm a diehard fan of the original novel, and the Lynch film had me convinced you couldn't do Dune right as a film. Even with it being split into two parts (A good choice so as to keep the story mostly intact), I was convinced Dune couldn't work as a film. But Dennis pulled it off. He created something that truly feels like Herbert's Dune while having some flavor of its own. Easily my film of 2021.

2022-08-07 17:01:01 +0000 UTCGlad to hear you are on the upswing. I still have a huge backlog of your full reactions i want to get through but it is always fun to see what you are watching next. Also are you planning to start doing your Twitch streams again soon? I just started watching when you were doing your Stray play through and looking forward to seeing more

2022-08-07 15:35:46 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity, are you going to do the other X-Men movies? You mentioned doing the X-Men trilogy so Iβm wondering if youβre still going to do the other X-Men movies. Most of them are really good and worth watching.

2022-08-07 15:18:08 +0000 UTCLoving this reaction so far Vee! Great way to start my Sunday. "Big Star Wars Energy" I love that you said that, because it's the other way around. DUNE was released as a book in the 1960s and inspired nearly every modern sci-fi movie we know today! It's the granddaddy sci fi story! Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40K, all pulled heavily from the influences and characteristics of DUNE. Which makes it even more amazing than it already is.

2022-08-07 14:22:39 +0000 UTCI believe the continuation of the story will be released sometime next year. Unlike the 1982 film they decided for this one to spread it into two parts. Similar to what was done with the recent "It" adaptation.
