    The Quantum Magician and The Final Architecture are great space operas in my opinion. They both have really large stakes, a large number of factions and species with varying politics and exciting space combat. They are both incredibly different though.

      I definitely remember them trying to explain it at the beginning of the movie, saying it’s necessary for space travel. The movie is just so information dense it’s easy to miss the details. I read the book years before watching the movie and I feel like I caught the large plot points.

      I will definitely watch it again myself before watching the second.

      I didn’t think the first Dune movie in this series was that good and the reason why was probably as you explained it. I knew there was this rich universe lore behind the series but as someone who hasn’t read the books it didn’t really gel that well or make much sense.

      I think I was expecting something like LOTR or Star Wars and I don’t think we got that.

      I read the book recently for the first time and then watched the movie. The entire time I thought this is awesome to see these scenes from the book but I would have absolutely o idea what’s going on if I didn’t just read it

    I’m upvoting this, but I also won’t watch the trailer since I already know I’m going to see this movie.

      Same here. Part one was enough of a trailer for me to decide to see part two. Well that and knowing the story from the books.

      It’s been years since I’ve stopped spoiling movies for myself and I no longer watch trailers. I do like to jump into discussions about the trailers to get the general vibe.

      But it’s so satisfying to discover the whole look and every beat of the movie for the first time when actually watching the movie. Yeah, I’ve read the book, and seen Lynch’s adaptation and even the TV series but I’d rather wait.

        Yeah it’s funny- the trailer “spoils” the plot but only if you already know the whole plot from the books and can pick out the major plot points during the fast-moving trailer. If you don’t know the story, you will probably only see some cool action sequences and character shots with some impactful dialog.

    Yes!! The Dune movies are the only big movies I’ve been excited about in a loooong time. Between the crappy nostalgia remakes (which never live up to the originals) and the endless superhero franchise churn, the theatre experience has been quite dire for far too long.

    I love that Villeneuve is bringing the craft of movie-making back to blockbuster movies, and doubly so that he’s done it with the Dune stories. And he’s done them justice so far, both the material and with the beauty of the cinematography.

    Definitely looking forward to part 2. Part one just looked so beautiful, so picturesque.

    They hit on all the plot points and it felt like they didn’t leave out any of the details (from what I remember from reading the book).

      I only watched the movie once, but IIRC they missed a fairly substantial subplot about Gurney Halleck strongly believing that Jessica had betrayed the Atreides. Other than that, I was pretty happy with what they did and didn’t decide to cut for time.

        There was a few things like that or the dinner I thought they could add in only at the cost of removing some scenes of Xendaya in the desert, but I have a feeling there was a requirement to have a certain amount of her for press materials lol.

    Oh man, I am so hyped about this movie I’m having trouble choosing what to have for breakfast. It is time to reread the book and rewatch the first movie. Again.

    I loved part 1, it was such a refreshing movie in terms of storytelling, writing, cinematography. Super excited for part 2

      Part one was the most cliche movie I’ve seen. Bad guys are bad, good guys are good, kid is the chosen one, parents get killed. Hopefully part 2 will be better.

    This looks glorious. Can’t wait to watch this at an odd time at the cinemas so it’s empty

    They slipped in a quick glimpse of the Paul and Gurney reunion in this trailer. One of my favorite scenes from the book.

    "Who rules here? I rule here! I rule on every square inch of Arrakis! This is my ducal fief whether the Emperor says yea or nay! "

    Looks like a really good delivery of this line.
