Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDenis Villeneuve confirmed in a Vanity Fair article that his adaptation of Dune will be split into two films in order to ensure that the original story would be "preserved and not cut into a million pieces." However, contrary to the common practice of filming several installments back to back, only the first movie (which roughly covers the first half of the source novel) was greenlit and produced, with an optional sequel depending on how well the first film performed. A sequel was greenlit on the Tuesday after the film opened. According to production designer Patrice Vermette, the movie was originally supposed to end later in the story, but during pre-production, these final scenes were shifted to the sequel, meaning that some of the preparation for Dune: Part Two (2024) had already been done.
- GoofsDespite several mentions of the intensity of the sun on Arrakis, no character ever wears any eye protection.
- Crazy creditsAt the start of the film, a Sardaukar priest chants "Dreams are messages from the deep" as a prologue as it is subtitled onscreen.
Featured review
The best Sci-Fi I've ever watched
Going into this movie my expectations were insanely high. And I must say that I came flabbergasted out of the cinema. I watched it in IMAX with my girlfriend who had a tough time getting into the movie for the first 30 minutes. I did not, but I did some research about the characters, plot etc without it being spoiled for me too much. I've never seen the original movie so I don't know how well it compares to this one, but I got to say and I quote: "This is the best sci-fi that I've ever seen in the cinema" WOW what a movie! From the details to the way shots are being filmed to the cast to the acting to the story and even the music, Everything is spot on! I've never seen anything like it. The only reason that I don't give this movie a 10 is because there is no ending. This is very much a "Part One" so don't expect to get a movie that comes full circle at the end. It leaves many questions unanswered and I can't wait till the time that they (if they ever will) bring out part two.
