I saw Dune Part 2 in IMAX last week, and _immediately_ bought tickets to see it in IMAX again, because I recognized that seeing this masterpiece in its full glory like that was a once in a lifetime opportunity, that I'd remember my whole life. Even when I watch this movie on DVD in my living room years from now, I'll remember how it felt to FEEL the rumble in my body during the worm and battle scenes. How _real_ it felt.
@@wouterberend - Yeah the first time I saw it in IMAX, the volume was _almost_ too loud. That's not enjoyable. But each theater differs slightly in volume, I'm sure, and each person differs in audial sensitivity.
God I'm so pissed. In my town they have at least 7-8 cinema halls that show the english version, but not in the imax. It's horrible. I hate dubbed films so much.
I could never sit 3 hours in those uncomfortable ass imax seats 😂 I like to recline to where I’m basically laying down and have my soda and popcorn next to me
I gotta say, changing the language in the assembly scene was much better. It really wouldn't have had the same impact if the entire time he was speaking English.
@FrameVoyager you summed it up perfectly. There's such a swelling of dread throughout the film because as much as you know what the ultimate fate of the universe is if you've read the books, and through the 2 parts you see Paul wrestle with the idea of his destiny and what it leads to. So to see him finally fall into his role in the loss of billions of lives with such ease after the Water of Life was very off-putting with how everyone but Chani is caught up in his speech and the prophecy.
@@afunkymonke totally agree! It's also kind of puts you in a weird position as a viewer because everyone likes the big rah rah speech. But for this story, you want to feel inspired by the speech but you also fight that because of its implications. Pretty fun!
It felt truly like a Voice of the Outer World. The layer of distance combined with the visceral passion and eye contact elevated the speech into something he was channeling from somewhere, rather than just giving.
1.43:1 is the way to go. Dune Part 2 only has about 40 minutes of those shots, but they are truly epic and worth a trip if you’re near a theater with one of those screens.
I don't have one near me so couldn't confirm the rumors. They made it sound like the whole thing was in 1.43:1 lmao. I figured not but didn't want to say anything because I didn't have any sources on it
@@FrameVoyagerYeah, Denis used it like Nolan in Oppenheimer-1.90:1 for intimate scenes and 1.43:1 for scenes to emphasize massive scale. I think Paul riding the sandworm scene was a mix of the two aspect ratios, and it worked well.
Wow, the thought that Dune 2 might not have happened because of Warner Bros. worried about budget, just pisses me off. To think this masterpiece might not have happened!!! Insane
Having watched 1&2 with someone unfamiliar with the books, the true magic is the minimum explanation one needs to provide, it was like having a meal and being satiated but not wanting it to end. Everything about DVs Dune is perfection. Sci-fi for the purists and noobs with world building that satisfies all the politicians, philosophers, engineers and architects out there. An IMAX experience well worth the price tag. DV put in the reps and delivered a masterpiece. Side note: 2049 gets better with every watch. Side note 2.. the score in all his films are perfection. Subscribed. Keep it up.
I have Imax in Sydney (finally opened after a few years of rebuilding). I missed the Oppenheimer, but i was so happy to be able to see Dune2. I had to book my seats over 2 weeks in advance, as everything was sold out. Sooooo worth it!
Wait, that fight scene on the Harkonnen planet was shot in IR? Holy shit, that's why it looked so incredible. Best looking sequence of the movie (among many, many sequences that are a treat to see and hear in IMAX).
No wonder it looked familiar! Couldn't quite put my finger on the look. I hope there are digital IR sensors, cause hoo boy IR film is a pain in the ass to handle!
I've done B&W infared photography and actually recognized the look of skin tones with black and white film, but because there was other color in those scenes, so I just assumed they used some effect to mimic the look of infrared (as can be done - kind of- in photoshop). I was delighted to see that they actually shot the scene with infrared cameras under the precedent that the light from their sun is different than the light of suns from other planets. Such a cool way to incorporate practical effects to communicate scifi worlds. SO cool!!!
I worked as a VFX Artist on this film, and one of my sequences was the sandworm riding sequence. As you said, there was a lot done by VFX artists to sell the worms - majority of those scenes had the worm ENTIRELY replaced by CGI and it's like that for the first one too! DV was a great director to work with as a VFX Artist since he understood the importance of CGI. Sadly, it is disheartening to see some people on film news outlets take the 'practical sandworm' headline and runaway with it when what ended up in the screen was majority VFX. Thanks for mentioning the work we do! DNEG releases "Deep Dives" on films and have one on the first Dune - they will absolutely have one for this film. Heres' the one for the first: ruclips.net/video/UARrOsNPviA/видео.html I think the series The Movie Rabbit Hole's 4 Part series "No CGI is really just Invisible CGI." is a super informative watch for people who are not as familiar with the VFX lexicon and is a must watch for any film enthusiasts regardless of their stance on practical vs. CGI!
I remember getting all my friends to go see the first one in IMAX back in 2021 and a few of them were confused since it was releasing on HBO the same day. By the end of the movie they understood. 😂
Yeah it was great. The way it was shot. The costumes. And the story had great pacing. Really enjoyed it. Worth paying the money for a cinema rather than home screen. I really want to go the movies but it's just so rare to have anything worthwhile. This definitely was.
the chair shaking as the beat brought up the chanting of people in the heat of battle the silence of a shot that captivate the intensity of it the visual that just breath taking and moment when the worm showed up i envy those who read the novel but didnt watch the trailer it was, at the very least, an out-of-this-world experience (pun intended)
We only have the 1.9:1 IMAX here but man was it the most impressive, moving, and stunning movie I've seen in recent years. Might be my favorite sci-fi movie series.
Right? It's been a while. Interstellar might be the last sci-fi film to do it for me. But this is like the first sci-fi/fantasy film in a while that did it.
Just saw it tonight at the imax in Seattle! And learned there that Frank was from Tacoma and went to UW. How cool to see the sequel on the largest screen in the PNW, in Frank's home state, in the aspect ratio intended by the production team. Thinking about watching it again tomorrow, so cool.
Holy shit the movie was so great. Its the most awesome movie I have ever ever seen. Loved it. Not saying it will be the best movie for you, but for me it was.
One of those great movies that deserves to watch it many times without getting bored . I didn’t feel the time of the movie . Until now; I watched two times; I will continue watching it again .
I think he did a great job translating the dialog from the book into the movie. The most important lines and themes were all hit, no filler. 10/10 movies both of them
100% the opinion of denis and christopher. When I stream a movie the value of a movie is instantly lowered just by the fact that watching a movie isn't anymore an event. Going to the cinema is an event for what you take time and plan your visit. I will remember watching interstellar first time in the theater. Going into the movie with just a vague idea about what it will be. Then experiencing that movie not spoiled by trailers and distractions made it alot more immersive. The soundtrack literally shaking the ground on the planet with those hughe tidel waves will forever be etched into my brain and will always be in my top best movie visits. The same with Dune Part 1 and 2. I've watched both in the best possible theteres twice.
That is so true! Although I can watch movies like Avatar at home whenever I want, I still remember the day I went to see it in IMAX on release week. I was 11 years old, 15 years ago, and I remember it. Streaming is great, but let movies be movies.
Pretty much 😂 honestly, you could kinda tell he'd do dune well after how he approached Blade Runner 2049. Respects the source material and still adds his own element to it. That's not in any way an easy thing to do
@Razor_Crest Yeah, most of those cases you have to change the angle though, shift the goalpost a little. "It's impossible for people to fly under their own power" != "It's impossible for people to fly" "It's impossible to shoot Dune faithfully to the book" != "It's impossible to shoot Dune faithfully to the book's themes and tone" (which is what Villeneuve ultimately did)
@Razor_Crest Idk. Denis said about first dune that there will not be a directors cut because everything that ended on the cutting room floor belongs there. And I kinda implicitly trust his judgement in that. Yes I have pretty good knowledge about the whole saga, but I quite frankly don't know enough about filmmaking to make that call.
I have the opportunity yo watch the two parts on IMAX just one week apart, amazing experience. Never thought it would be that exciting experience. Thanks to Villanueve for making this masterpiece.
Appreciate it! Yeah, we try to get as much right as we possibly can. Don't always get everything right but we will adjust for the future on those things.
i’m lucky enough to have a 70mm imax theater where i live and i plan on seeing this movie there as many times as i can while i can. it was transformative in there
I shot with a one off FullSpectrum version of the Red Raptor and man it makes for some crazy looks when in black and white. It actually can see through some types of clothing. Kinda bananas.
Pretty crazy! But cool to see it used in this film. Probably the more interesting use of a B&W look you could say since that seems to be a big trend these days
Wow I was blown away from this movie when I saw it in Dolby. I’m ready to see it again but this time in IMAX! Thank you to everyone who made this movie so epic and stunning! Can’t wait for Dune 3!!
Dune was my favorite movie of the year, absolutely incredible. First movie in forever that made me obsessed with something like i was lord of the rings
It's crazy that so many directors that don't care about the source material get in charge of directing epic stories, like Dragon Ball or even Star Wars... This is what happens when you put a deeply passionate director in charge!
Many kudos to all involved in both parts of this Dune adaptation! I already saw it twice and got three friends to watch it also! I will go again... I wish at somepoint someday that I will be able to watch both parts at once in a theater.
Great video! I really enjoyed this one. Very cool technical details, particularly enjoyed how they shot using different color choices. I love practical effects. I completely agree with Villenueve's view of dialogue in a film. I hate movies with a lot of dialogue. I feel that dialogue can restrict the user's own vision or understanding of a scene. Let us figure it out like we would in real life, through observation, rather than exposition. The audience can fill in the blanks; our imagination is the best story teller and too much dialog can rob us of a good story. And I, once again, enjoyed the filmconvert sponsor spot and peak into some of their cool features and how Frame Voyager uses them!
Thanks! Yeah, Denis Villeneuve really takes the time to let you breathe in the world he's building. Reminds me a lot of Avatar how James Cameron just lets shots linger for a while. But it's just an incredible film. Headed back tonight to see it again
Agreed! I too recommend everyone see Dune Part 2 at least once on the big screen. The use of infrared in the shots of Geidi Prime perfectly simulated their ultraviolet sun. In fact, so many details were faithfully included in this fillm that I will probably see it again on the big screen; that way I can enjoy watching the details while already knowing the main action. There are some awesome reveals too that make you gasp, "Ahhh wow, no kidding?" others that make you think, "I knew it!" and at one point you will say out loud, "Oh crap!" I agree with your excitement, review, and explanations and hope that the third film (Messiah) will be made. In fact, it would be awesome if the franchise would turn into a six part big-screen series. But, I am getting way ahead of myself. 😊
Damn what a treat to watch this breakdown of one of my favourite science fiction series. Thank you for the awesome content you continually put out for our edutainment 🙏
it is so true, when i went to see dune part 1 in theaters i was blown away, it reminded me seeing my first movie "star wars episode one" it was a unique experience. Dune was able to recapture that feeling for me. I understand why he was upset, many people skipped out on that expeiernce. It's not just a movie to see. It was a movie you had to watch in a theater setting and i keep telling people that.
Honestly, ever since the first Oculus VR googles came out I've been watching every movie on IMAX screen. Now I simply can't seat in front of of TV without thinking about how much better it would've looked in VR. The only downside is people really hate me in my house, it kinda kills movie watching camaraderie, but it does totally worth it.
I saw the film yesterday and am extremely sad. Im a college student rn and now that im back from spring break, the closest imax is over two hours away so i wont get to experience that again the same way. I genuinely feel heartbroken
With regards to the first one and streaming on Max; I saw the first 20 mins or so on Max but knew that it would be a disservice to finish it. Turned it off then bought movie tickets. Watching part 2 in theaters was just so mind blowing.
We did the same thing! Started the movie on HBO and then decided to turn it off and just drive to the theater. It was a life changing moment for me to see that movie in theaters.
I haven't been out to the movie theater in long time.. But I went to see this.. I couldn't wait.. It was great, awesome.. I don't normally go to the movie's I just wait for on demand at home.. For me it's more comfortable that way.. I had to get up 4 times to pee.. Plus I miss hear thing's and need to rewind too.. I knew this wasn't going to be on demand for almost 2 months so I went this time..
This movie is THE BEST SCI FI movie since 2010's INCEPTION. Personally Dune part 2 is my 2nd favourite sci fi movie of all time just behind Tarkovsky's STALKER.
Im so glad we at least got to see a bit of Jodorowski’s Dune. Denis has knocked it out of the park though. Just unreal stuff that will last generations. Herbert made a story more timeless than any other imo.
bro i didn’t even realize that Geidi Prime Scene was black and white when i saw it in theaters. It just made sense to me, i thought that the world just actually looks like that
Amazing video! If you don't mind some input, I appreciate what you're going for with the titles, but I simply cannot read most of them with all the effects you have on them.
Of the decade? Maybe of all time. This is serious sci-fi for adults. No goofing around with silly little bots. No trying to appeal to kids or hoping to sell all the merchandise accompanying film. I think to compare this to anything in the Star Wars series is to put it down in a very closed-minded way. I am thrilled Hollywood stayed away from this and Part 1. They would royally have screwed it up.
@@Fowlzys I didn't like the shields in the movie. For example, harkonnen soldiers getting sniped at the top of a big-ass rock. Yes, I know shields attract worms, but they were getting killed left and right, and they were already on a huge rock, so I don't know why they didn't turn them on. I still enjoyed the heck out of the movie though.
@@CristanMeijerdid they have the ability to engage shields and just choose not to? Or were they literally not equipped. I’m kinda happy to leave technicalities at the door; that scene was cool as shit.
Fantastic that you didn’t minimise the contribution of vfx. I was seeing this film caught up in the recent “no vfx”/ all practical shtick. I’d say it’s great that practical is used to help the actors experience and provide excellent reference for vfx. I think it’s poor form to downplay how much vfx is used because it has been used poorly in the past.
Oh no, it's good to recognize both in my opinion. But yeah, to say they didn't add VFX in for the practical effects shots is ridiculous. The best part here is the VFX was excellent and no distracting.
haha I had a french friend help me with it! Actually got it messed up in our video about Veilleneuve. Though I heard an "eh" or "ay" at the end when he said his name. I blame my boas towards spanish haha
@@FrameVoyager hahaha I watched your other video just after, where you say villenooveh and it was so funny 😆 I figured you were told how it’s pronounced after your last video 😝it’s litterally Denis Citynew in French
@unemilifleur I'm glad you thought it was funny. Some people acted like I disrespected the graves of their ancestors by adding the extra bit at the end of his name 😂
17:20 This doesn't make sense, a computer can Key any color, the reason greenscreens are used, is that the color is far away from Skintones, so that skin doesn't end up accidentally keyed out. In dune they went for Brown background screens, to fix the spill light issue, however that probably came with a lot of manual rotoscoping. Inverting the color won't help here at all. Also the reason that the industry has mostly moved to greenscreen over bluescreen, is that digital cameras usually have more green subpixels than they have blue ones, meaning there is less noise in the green channel. (which makes it easier to key)

I have seen both films in IMAX Digital with Laser (1.90:1 ratio) and it looked absolutely amazing. (and the sound, dude, THE SOUND !)
I'm not sure I've ever heard such a loud IMAX experience. The rumbling that came from behind at one point was insane. And the Hans Zimmer scores? 🤌🤌🤌
1.43:1 is the way to go. Dune Part 2 only has about 40 minutes of those shots, but they are truly epic and worth a trip if you’re near a theater with one of those screens.

Shivers down my spine during a few scenes, amazing movie! I will see it again tomorrow
@@claudiubanu8438 same. Like the rumble with some of the sandworm scenes. But man, there are just some badass visuals and hero shots in this.
Probably the best sequel I’ve ever seen!

Saw it again last night! And appreciate it!
I love that a lot of the fight scenes edited into this video are of the stunt doubles (who are OUTSTANDING, btw)
I first experienced Denis Villeneuve watching the movie Incendies. Unforgettable to this day. His greatness is always on display.
Think I finally got Director Denis Villeneuve's name down 😅
Appreciate it! Yeah, we try to get as much right as we possibly can. Don't always get everything right but we will adjust for the future on those things.
Well done, we don't hear his name properly pronounced often.
@@thebendu33 I just got a bad clip of the director saying it for the last one or else it would have been right last time too 🥲
Yes, well done 👌
0:23 That moment brought a big smile on my face. This was the correct pronunciation, merci! Denis won't have to go back to Norway ever again
I had the absolute pleasure to watch this movie on the biggest IMAX screen in the entire world with 38m x 22x. This was the best thing ever!!
i’m lucky enough to have a 70mm imax theater where i live and i plan on seeing this movie there as many times as i can while i can. it was transformative in there
I was just admiring the title cards and the glowy text you used in this video and then you told me what software you used for it! Neat
😂😂😂 you're welcome. Now part of it I'm running through actual crt TV's that I own. So the old TV look is actually not an effect but real
always like your work on production stories, you give a considered view
Appreciate it!
I shot with a one off FullSpectrum version of the Red Raptor and man it makes for some crazy looks when in black and white. It actually can see through some types of clothing. Kinda bananas.
Pretty crazy! But cool to see it used in this film. Probably the more interesting use of a B&W look you could say since that seems to be a big trend these days
After playing with it for a month I desperately wanna get a camera converted to Full Spectrum for some B&W photography. @@FrameVoyager
to be fair, Denis is a fan boy. totally immersed, beautiful movie
A fanboy for sure, but not too much so he can't put his own spin on it. He respects the material but makes it work for the cinematic medium
Wow I was blown away from this movie when I saw it in Dolby. I’m ready to see it again but this time in IMAX! Thank you to everyone who made this movie so epic and stunning! Can’t wait for Dune 3!!
Dune was my favorite movie of the year, absolutely incredible. First movie in forever that made me obsessed with something like i was lord of the rings
It's crazy that so many directors that don't care about the source material get in charge of directing epic stories, like Dragon Ball or even Star Wars... This is what happens when you put a deeply passionate director in charge!
Dune 2 is sick. congratulations to all the hard work that went into it
Many kudos to all involved in both parts of this Dune adaptation!
I already saw it twice and got three friends to watch it also! I will go again...
I wish at somepoint someday that I will be able to watch both parts at once in a theater.
One of my favourite films ever, it's truly fantastic
As a Canadian, I appreciate you saying his name correctly
It's been a journey to get there haha
Amazing job explaining everything of the film I felt like I was really looking behind the curtin of the project. Great work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad you enjoyed it!
The only film I've seen in the theater 6 times.
Beat you by one...they extended the Dune showing..
Love the use of Yehezkel Raz throughout this video, an amazing artist.
I might have to go see it in IMAX again 😅😅😅
I've seen it 3 times in IMAX
This is my first time watching one of your videos, but it's really well made! Def gonna subscribe.
Appreciate it! Welcome to the channel!
Great video! I really enjoyed this one. Very cool technical details, particularly enjoyed how they shot using different color choices. I love practical effects. I completely agree with Villenueve's view of dialogue in a film. I hate movies with a lot of dialogue. I feel that dialogue can restrict the user's own vision or understanding of a scene. Let us figure it out like we would in real life, through observation, rather than exposition. The audience can fill in the blanks; our imagination is the best story teller and too much dialog can rob us of a good story.
And I, once again, enjoyed the filmconvert sponsor spot and peak into some of their cool features and how Frame Voyager uses them!
Thanks! Yeah, Denis Villeneuve really takes the time to let you breathe in the world he's building. Reminds me a lot of Avatar how James Cameron just lets shots linger for a while. But it's just an incredible film. Headed back tonight to see it again
Agreed! I too recommend everyone see Dune Part 2 at least once on the big screen. The use of infrared in the shots of Geidi Prime perfectly simulated their ultraviolet sun. In fact, so many details were faithfully included in this fillm that I will probably see it again on the big screen; that way I can enjoy watching the details while already knowing the main action. There are some awesome reveals too that make you gasp, "Ahhh wow, no kidding?" others that make you think, "I knew it!" and at one point you will say out loud, "Oh crap!" I agree with your excitement, review, and explanations and hope that the third film (Messiah) will be made. In fact, it would be awesome if the franchise would turn into a six part big-screen series. But, I am getting way ahead of myself. 😊
From what I hear Hans Zimmer is already working on the music for Dune Messiah haha
@@FrameVoyager Woo hoo!
Damn what a treat to watch this breakdown of one of my favourite science fiction series. Thank you for the awesome content you continually put out for our edutainment 🙏
No problem! We have fun digging into all of this, so glad it's entertaining!
it is so true, when i went to see dune part 1 in theaters i was blown away, it reminded me seeing my first movie "star wars episode one" it was a unique experience. Dune was able to recapture that feeling for me. I understand why he was upset, many people skipped out on that expeiernce. It's not just a movie to see. It was a movie you had to watch in a theater setting and i keep telling people that.
Honestly, ever since the first Oculus VR googles came out I've been watching every movie on IMAX screen. Now I simply can't seat in front of of TV without thinking about how much better it would've looked in VR. The only downside is people really hate me in my house, it kinda kills movie watching camaraderie, but it does totally worth it.
I saw the film yesterday and am extremely sad. Im a college student rn and now that im back from spring break, the closest imax is over two hours away so i wont get to experience that again the same way. I genuinely feel heartbroken
Take a weekend or one day trip with friends and enjoy a once in a lifetime experiences again..
Very well done and executed. Thank you for all this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
May the maker bless everyone who worked on this masterpiece
Awesome video, well done, you brought up some really cool behind the scenes topics. Could really tell you love what you're talking about.
With regards to the first one and streaming on Max; I saw the first 20 mins or so on Max but knew that it would be a disservice to finish it. Turned it off then bought movie tickets. Watching part 2 in theaters was just so mind blowing.
We did the same thing! Started the movie on HBO and then decided to turn it off and just drive to the theater. It was a life changing moment for me to see that movie in theaters.
@@MrsTruthTeller and I’m about to go see Dune 2 again but in imax! Haha
That was very entertaining and detailed- thank you for your effort!
No problem!.
I GET TO SEE IT TOMORROW
Dumbledore kills Snape
Sorry for the spoilers
hahaha
@@Freelancer.Warzone DAMN YOU!!! I thought Kyle Ren kills Han Solo?
I absolutely adore Dune part 2. Adore it.
Awesome video! Saw Dune 2 in IMAX and it was stunning!
Appreciate it! And yeah, going back to see it a third time tomorrow
I haven't been out to the movie theater in long time.. But I went to see this.. I couldn't wait.. It was great, awesome.. I don't normally go to the movie's I just wait for on demand at home.. For me it's more comfortable that way.. I had to get up 4 times to pee.. Plus I miss hear thing's and need to rewind too.. I knew this wasn't going to be on demand for almost 2 months so I went this time..
not the ad segment having the same music as the deep rock galactic space station music lol. Rock and Stone brothers.
ROCK AND STONE 🤘
This movie is THE BEST SCI FI movie since 2010's INCEPTION. Personally Dune part 2 is my 2nd favourite sci fi movie of all time just behind Tarkovsky's STALKER.
I'm more partial to Interstellar but I understand your point!
first time i shed tears in a theatre
Definitely some chills
Im so glad we at least got to see a bit of Jodorowski’s Dune.
Denis has knocked it out of the park though. Just unreal stuff that will last generations. Herbert made a story more timeless than any other imo.
It was my honour to like this video 👍
Appreciate it!
This is an excellent explanation video. Great job and thank you!
damn the trick with the invert is just awesome
bro i didn’t even realize that Geidi Prime Scene was black and white when i saw it in theaters. It just made sense to me, i thought that the world just actually looks like that
Amazing video! If you don't mind some input, I appreciate what you're going for with the titles, but I simply cannot read most of them with all the effects you have on them.
Yeahhhh, this one I went a little too hard on 😅 got some real CRT TV's and have been trying to figure out the right balance with them
By far one of the best movies in the last few years!
1884 Dune actually is a good movie, I still love it
I bet! Must be some kind of visionary to make a film before cameras and the book was written!.
It was a glorifying mess of a science fiction movie..One of the jewel of Sci Fi
I love this edit please make more
My sister worked as an vfx artist for dune 2
Of the decade? Maybe of all time. This is serious sci-fi for adults. No goofing around with silly little bots. No trying to appeal to kids or hoping to sell all the merchandise accompanying film.
I think to compare this to anything in the Star Wars series is to put it down in a very closed-minded way.
I am thrilled Hollywood stayed away from this and Part 1. They would royally have screwed it up.
For sure. To me this is more in line with interstellar, 2001 a space Odyssey, etc. More serious sci Fi
Part 2 was for sure better than part 1.
Still some weird writing decisions, but it's a good time overall.
Dune is a weird story so honestly impressed with him pulling it off even if there are some interesting decsions
I'm curious, what writing decisions did you consider weird?
First part had more static visuals(arrival of benijezuret, one lf the craziest scenes) and second part had more moving action visuals
@@Fowlzys I didn't like the shields in the movie. For example, harkonnen soldiers getting sniped at the top of a big-ass rock. Yes, I know shields attract worms, but they were getting killed left and right, and they were already on a huge rock, so I don't know why they didn't turn them on.
I still enjoyed the heck out of the movie though.
@@CristanMeijerdid they have the ability to engage shields and just choose not to? Or were they literally not equipped.
I’m kinda happy to leave technicalities at the door; that scene was cool as shit.
Fantastic that you didn’t minimise the contribution of vfx. I was seeing this film caught up in the recent “no vfx”/ all practical shtick. I’d say it’s great that practical is used to help the actors experience and provide excellent reference for vfx. I think it’s poor form to downplay how much vfx is used because it has been used poorly in the past.
Oh no, it's good to recognize both in my opinion. But yeah, to say they didn't add VFX in for the practical effects shots is ridiculous. The best part here is the VFX was excellent and no distracting.
So far you’re the RUclipsr who’s pronouncing Villeneuve de best. Most RUclipsrs say villenoove.
haha I had a french friend help me with it! Actually got it messed up in our video about Veilleneuve. Though I heard an "eh" or "ay" at the end when he said his name. I blame my boas towards spanish haha
@@FrameVoyager hahaha I watched your other video just after, where you say villenooveh and it was so funny 😆 I figured you were told how it’s pronounced after your last video 😝it’s litterally Denis Citynew in French
@unemilifleur I'm glad you thought it was funny. Some people acted like I disrespected the graves of their ancestors by adding the extra bit at the end of his name 😂
Theatrical was a much much better experience for me. Just the sound alone -- it's optimized for high quality equipment, almost noone has that at home.
Yeah sounds quality and immersion is always a massive part of why I like to go to IMAX.
What a fucking master piece! Will definitely see it again and again!
Going my third time tomorrow!
17:20 This doesn't make sense, a computer can Key any color, the reason greenscreens are used, is that the color is far away from Skintones, so that skin doesn't end up accidentally keyed out. In dune they went for Brown background screens, to fix the spill light issue, however that probably came with a lot of manual rotoscoping. Inverting the color won't help here at all.
Also the reason that the industry has mostly moved to greenscreen over bluescreen, is that digital cameras usually have more green subpixels than they have blue ones, meaning there is less noise in the green channel. (which makes it easier to key)
Just saw Dune Part 2, seeing it on a big screen was amazing, this is not the type of movie to see outside of theatre (IMAX was amazing)
It really is a movie you go to see in a Dolby or IMAX theater for sure!
Well, it worked. They did it
I hope this one gets the imax ratio on the physical release
They usually don't get like the full 1.43:1 release but they have the other version that you can tell in films like Oppenheimer or Interstellar
STILGAR
I like too much his acting; he was an important connector between different thoughts & ideas .
AS IT IS WRITTEN!
I ate chocolate mushrooms and watched this yesterday. Wild experience. Needless to say, I was immersed in the world. 🤯
Man... that honestly sounds like a lot of fun
How are you alive
@@Taylor_King it was intense at times. Felt like everything was made specifically for my enjoyment.
@@fodetoure1576i felt like that sober so i can only imagine haha
I need to see it in imax again
00:20 eeeeyyy 💜
😉 That one was for all you Dune TV nerds out there haha
Crazy how long it takes to actually come out in cinema
Quite interesting that such a softening effect created by the 35 mm film has not yet been created by a digital computer software.
Well I think it's the organic component of it. imo AI will solve the film emulation problem in the near future.
It’s a similar thing to audio production I’d imagine. Digital emulation is very very close, but it seems impossible atm to get it to 100%
