In the next seen you see the Harkonnens chanting around the battle operations rooms but the opening is Sarduakar throat singing, or maybe it's Leto the Worm God speaking and it just sounds similar ...
Best theatrical experience I have had in my life ever. Also one of the best openings ever. Every shot Every camera movement Every character in this movie was like a gut punch. I'll never forget all my life. This is art at its best. I would like to see after the third part all three films' DVDs in the Criterion Collection closet.
@@husamstarxin4626 the shield is made of subatomic particles..so if a gun is used on a shield ..then it may result in a nuclear explosion ..that’s why they mostly use hand held weapons
@@husamstarxin4626 two reasons: 1.

As someone else already mentioned, if a laser gun hits your shield it causes a massive explosion of a nuclear proportion, the Harkonnen's were not sure whether they were under attack from Fremen with lasers or with maula pistols so it's safer not to use them in case someone's shield gets hit by a laser
@@Killerkwoi13 What a cool, subtle analogy pointing to the futility of using nuclear weapons due to the mutually assured destruction that would follow. Given when Herbert wrote these books, I bet that's what he was aiming at conveying to the reader.
I think it's because the Harkonnens take pharmaceuticals, something that is foreign to the Fremen. Perhaps to help with the heat and sun they're not used to.
@Sk4M_.RangeroftheNorth And then they masterfully turn that comedy on its head when Paul becomes the Mahdi. Stilgar's faith wasn't funny anymore; it was frightening.
This is a reference to the Fremen metaphor of accepting someone into their ranks: "Your water will mix with our water." So for them to speak of the unsanitary/chemically tainted quality of a person's water is a powerful statement against their moral character and the extent to which they are regarded as inhuman.
That opening Sardukaur line gave me chills just as much when seeing it on IMAX a seccond time as it did the first. Really thrusts you STRAIGHT into it.
Anyone notice the similarities between the openings of I & II? A Sardaukar message > A voice-over narration by one of Paul's wives > A shot of Rabban & the Harkonnen army > Outerspace shot of Arrakis > Title cards > Shot of Paul sleeping/dreaming.
just noticed, at the start when Chani and Stillgar run to their respective positions, it sorta symbolises the divide between The Northern Fremen and Southern Fremen
This whole opening sequence is just so iconic. You know immediately that this movie is going to be great. I’ll never forget how locked in I was as the tension ratchets up with those theater-shaking drums at 5:10. This is how you set the tone for a film. The striking orange color grading, impeccable cinematography, and Zimmer’s masterful score create a gripping intensity, making it an unforgettable introduction to the film. The amount of screensaver-worthy shots in these first few minutes alone is just ridiculous. Seen this film in IMAX 4 times now and I simply can’t get enough of it. It’s the perfect sci fi blockbuster and already an all time classic.
I feel sorry for anyone whose first experience seeing this movie isn’t gonna be in an IMAX cinema, this opening sequence and the rest of the movie just isn’t done the justice it deserves without it
The secret is that all of these shots (and every other high-concept shot in a blackbuster) are paintings. Or at least, start off with them. They're storyboarded and then designed in concept art before it is shot and then handed off to VFX (if it isn't pretty much entirely CGI like this one). They may not be straight matte paintings like older films would have done, but they're absolutely recreating one. Makes the artbooks a joy. Heck, a different piece of concept art for that shot is actually the cover for Part 2's artbook.
1:23 everything about the sound design is immaculate, but this moment always stood out to me. The burning of the Atreides symbol followed by this almost heavenly shot of the trees with that ethereal, almost alien birdsong is so poignant
HOT TAKE: I think this is the best opening scene in the movies in this century. I love ir so much. Firstly, it's looks absolutely beatiful and very atmospheric. Insane shots. Insane soundtrack and amazing unique atsmosphere. It'a literally amazing scene for understanding this lore. Dramatic, epic, futurustic, complex and variety lore. Secondly, before Arrakis, how they perfectly showed the Emperor and his reaction to Leto's death, it was very accurate. Shaddam loved Leto as his son, but still he strove for power and therefore killed him, which was very painful for him as a man. Walken did amazing job. Same like Pugh. Just 2 minutes moment, but amazing adaptation
From this opening, I knew I was in for something phenomenal. And after 3 times watching this film, I can say that this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
This opening scene with all The Atreides burning will haunt me for a long time. Such a cold, dark scene, no funerals, no family, just murdered and burnt lightyears from home!! I got some salvation when Gurney says he's helped survivor escape the planet, but why didn't they tell the Lansraad about this heinous war crime by Shaddam IV???
The intro caught me off guard cause I went to a theater that started the movie immediately after the previews ended with no other adds it just jumped right into that chant full blast
The parallels of the usage of flamethrowers throughout the movie is quite interesting. At the beginning it's Harkonnens burning bodies, by the end it's the Fremen. Also the Harkonnens falling from the cliff can't help but bring to mind the scene with them roasting the poor birds in the Cave of Birds.
I was really losing hope on finding a movie that would enter my top 10 favorites in the 2020s. I’m grateful for Denis and the team who worked on this masterpiece👏🏼
Ngl this is better cinematography than in any Nolan film. Sure he’s the most well known with imax cameras but all the wide angle shots in this film was just wow
2:24 You can see the shadow of a moon falling on Arrakis due to a solar eclipse. At first I didn't understand what that black streak was, I thought it was some kind of exaggeration to describe the princess's words. Until recently, watch a Nasa video shot from outside the earth on the day of the solar eclipse April 8, 2024.
I LOVE how all the crazy Fremen devices, like the water collectors and the thumpers, were all done practically! They're of course impossible in real life but they have a strange logic to them. It feels like forever since we've seen real props in sci fi movies because it's so easy to build it in a computer. But Dune is in an analogue world so it makes sense to do as much in camera as humanly possible.
@@jimmyfaulkner1855 It's in a grim but sort of wholesome manner where he doesn't want his sister born into such a devastated situation by telling her she might as well "go back to the stars". (get aborted)
@@jimmyfaulkner1855 Since everything including humans are technically made from 'star dust' he's telling his sister to return to her basic elemental origins.

"in the shadows of Arrakis lie many secrets, but the darkest of them all may remain, the end of house Atreides." powerful, goosebumps opening scene. Sensational.
Not everyone prefers 16:9+ aspect ratios. I much prefer a nice wide 2.4:1 for cinematic titles. Seeing more is not necessarily better. Letterboxing and cropping in focuses the eyes on what is happening in the scene and what is important. Comes down to preference at the end of the day. Planet Earth BBC style documentaries obviously benefit from a full frame, and actually, IMAX was created for nature content in the first place. It depends what the director is going for. The vast vast overwhelming majority of films are released in 2.35-2.4:1. There's a reason. You could also argue that 60fps is smoother, but every single film is released in 24fps. Its "more cinematic", as cringe as that might sound a lot of the time.
I'm guessing these guys are the closest the Harkonnens have to a special forces unit. These guys are actually competent and they have good equipment. Even the Baron, paranoid as he was, would see the value of more highly trained and equipped troops to fight a war like this
shouldn't be hard to do with ai voice cloning. Input the audio file of all the clips in to an ai voice adapter output is her saying the stuff. the tech is out now
Listened to the audiobook and rewatched Dune 1 a couple times before the premiere. I did not want this sequel to end. When somebody says Dune 2 was better than Dune 1, with no strike against Dune 1, they mean it. First thing I said when it hit the credits "This is the best film adaptation of a book I've ever seen." I highly suggest if you haven't read the books, read Dune. I'm not exaggerating lmao. i want to go see it again in theaters. Not a clip wasted.
At 7:49 you can see incoming rounds from the Fremen as Paul is looking up. Probably Stilgar and others using Maula Pistols. You can see Stilgar reloading at 9:39.

I dont get it. It was shot for the IMAX which means it should be almost square, but this version is extremely wide. Too wide for my 16:9 computer screen. wth?
They wanna gatekeep the IMAX ratio for only IMAX theatres...very annoying...Hopefully in DVD/Blue ray the full IMAX ratio will be released. It should be.
When the Harkonnens' feet lift off the ground, I knew this film was going to be something else.
Sameeeee

The shot of the baron eclipsing the sun while levitating from his anti gravity machine was so menacing. That shot really stuck in my mind.
🤣🤣🤣
Right?? its these little moments that don't get enough credit! and skarsgard is awesome
for some reason it was hilarious for me, it looked like he was being lifted off the ground by helium baloons and flying away with the wind
“Filthy water. It's full of chemicals. But good enough for cooling systems” 😂
Yeah, it gave us a bit more insight into The Harkonnen, they even have chemicals in their water. Stilgar was a bit of comedic relief in this.

It's basically the old tv format of 4:3, quite ironic that we are back at the beginning. lol 🙃

Heartbreakingly beautiful
Please release an 8 hour extended cut
6:20 never fails to send chills down my spine ☺
putting this in 1080p only is such a crime
The best opening in movies for many decades
This movie was almost 3 hours but felt like 30 minutes.
7:20 Really need this as a wallpaper. I hope there's a database or something with all frames soon because I need it in 4K.
that's just called a video
I dont get it. It was shot for the IMAX which means it should be almost square, but this version is extremely wide. Too wide for my 16:9 computer screen. wth?
They wanna gatekeep the IMAX ratio for only IMAX theatres...very annoying...Hopefully in DVD/Blue ray the full IMAX ratio will be released. It should be.
The best opening. The best, Jerry. The BEST.
