Best 5 hour movie ever

chani's last words to paul in the first movie: this is only the beginning. chani's last words to paul in the second: this isn't the end

Princess Irulan’s diary entries be reading like fine literature.

I am so pleased movies of this EPIC CALIBRE are still being made. Dune 2 just made Marvel films look so goofy in comparison.

I love this version of Princess Irulan. Between the way DV scripted her and the way Pugh played her, you really get a sense of what a next level human being she is. Extremely intelligent and thoughtful, very strong sense of morality. But also extremely shrewd, with an innate sense of the "calculus of power." She hates what her father did to Leito, but she doesn't get emotional about it because she knows he hates it too. I feel like any other movie wouldn't have been able to resist making her the "righteous" one, giving her some big dramatic scene crying about the injustice of it all. Instead, with the minimum amount of screen time, they somehow managed to give her this incredibly subtle, but very clear characterization.

2:45 "And the Emperor said...nothing." Being forced to wait patiently to hear Christopher Walken's voice in this movie hit like a ton of bricks. A bittersweet subversion of expectations. Beautifully scripted, beautifully executed.

I just love the simplicity of Florence’s voice saying “and the Emperor said….” *cut to an icy Christopher Walken…. “Nothing” So simple but effectively epic.

That cut to Chani after she says "This is only the beginning" with that Hans Zimmer drop is my absolute favorite part of the whole thing.

'my father has always been guided by the calculus of power' - sums so beautifully, what has already happened and what is yet to transpire.

That little bird call stilgar does is delicious

Honestly they could have just released both movies in one 5-hour long cut without removing anything and I’d be happy

1:38 the sudden change of mood. How subtle.

If they released these together in theatres, I would go and watch them again and sit for 5 hours no problem.

Part 2’s opening can be a brilliant teaser trailer for the actual film itself. It also feels well like a passage in a book describing major background events on the page, only visualised.

Parts 1 and 2 definitely flow like one film. I also love how Irulan’s monologue parallels Chani’s of the first film’s opening. Two love interests of Paul that represent the Fremen and the politics of the Imperium, two sides of the same coin.

Is anybody else absolutely obsessed with the "Power over Spice is power over all" sound? I just set it as my text tone. and my ringtone is now Paul's speech to the Fremen.

Christopher Walken's acting just via his haunted gaze at 2:47 is perfect. You can see so much going through his head: Guilt, anger, sorrow. He clearly is not happy about what he's done by killing Duke Leto and wiping out House Atreides, but he also clearly doesn't regret it.

At first I was a bit disappointed with Walken's portrayal of Emperor Shaddam, but I've grown to like it. Like with a lot of the major changes from the book to the movie, Villeneuve really boiled the character down to his most important attributes and emphasized them. In the book, you can tell that Shaddam is an insecure old man who is willing to backstab his friends in order to maintain an image of power and grace. But despite his peacocking, at the end of the day he's just another pawn in the Bene Gesserit's schemes, who ends up getting overthrown by a fucking teenager.

im so grateful for how colorful the second movie is. from the olive gray tones when we last see paul and the fremen in part one to the vibrant orange when we next see paul and the fremen. I'd say its a night and day difference, although that phrase literally fits these two scenes as well

The fact that out worlders have no idea fremen can ride sandworms until here and the worm army scene at the end of 2

Florence Pugh made Irulan her own while still paying homage to the historian narration of the book and 84 visions. She is not like an ethereal being wearing extravagant hair and clothing talking before a cosmic background, but in a more grounded fashion.

The spectral, almost haunting chant at the beginning of the movies sends chills down my spine. A simple phrase; guttural. It sticks with you for the rest of the movie.

I really want an official 5 hour cut

1:38 I noticed that after rewatching this movie, the look on her face was foreshadowing something

Loved the quiet opening to the Harkonnen scout drop. Jumps right into "action", but in more of a suspenseful and strategic sense. It also immediately brings characterization to the participants - the Fremen are alert and strategic, and while Paul & Jessica are not "in" on their ambush plan they can still think & fight for themselves

The first time i heard that “power over spice is power over all” mannnnnnnnn I got so amped lol. It sounds amazing in theaters. Movie was so loud u could feel the vibrations of the explosions and the worms. Best theater experience ever

Villeneve wanted to film everything together, if they get to do a dvd release or something, they can put an intermission like lawrence of arabia, by this video we could see where it can be done.

Stilgar asked Paul and his mother to "stay here", while the Harkonen is approaching.

Such a seamless transition, Dennis is the greatest filmmaker of our generation. Hands down. He's the modern day Midas of film. Improves everything he touches, 2049, better than the original, wayyy better. Dune, better than the book. Fucking legend.

Denis my new favorite Director. Dude is proving that he is the “Man” for Science Fiction! Fuckkk I fucking LOVE the Dune universe. Cast and crew fucking awesome too! This is why we love good movies

wow that's smooth af

These movies definitely give me the Lotr vibes fellowship was a whole thing compared to two towers just like how these two movies are so different but the same

By morning, the Atreides were no more. Only Harkonnen.

Easily the Godfather movies / first Star Wars trilogy / Lord of the Rings trilogy of this decade. Absolutely astounding movies that have elevated cinema as the previously mentioned titles did before. Modern masterpieces.

2:46 - anyone else expected him to say "Wow! That's crazy! You gotta be kidding me"

OMG the oner on the sand dude.... Masterfully blocked and exquisitely executed. Draws no attention to the camera int relation to the action of the scene. Shout to the camera ops that pulled that off. So beautiful and seamless.

Man I missed out on Dune part 1 in theaters while I saw part 2! What an unusual experience

I think one reason why these movies have been so well received is that they use a more realistic form of the heroes journey (sometimes called the heroines journey). The narrative structure is like an onion, they travel to arrakis, face trials and tribulations, acquire new relationships and knowledge, and attain freedom to return to the overworld (the galactic empire). Whereas the heroes journey says that we go back home at the end ostensibly to live a quiet life into eternity, we know that that is not how the real world works. In life, each new layer we peel back opens up a new world, a new journey.

Rebecca Ferguson deserves an oscar GOOD LORD.. she out-acted everyone in these movies and that is damn hard to do.

Paul saying "My road leads into the desert," is the understatement of the millennium. That single phrase is going to be true for him over, and over, and over.

If only Denis supported an extended edition of part 1 and 2. Sadly, that will never be the case!

So many things to love about these movies, one being the different colour palette, from Part One (blue, Caladan, sea & air power, young Paul) and Part Two (orange, Arrakis, Dune, sand, spice, desert power, Fremen culture and religion, the Lisan al Gaib, sandworms, Paul Mua'd Dib). It's even in the posters

Smooth and flawless.

if dune 3 isn't 6 hours long i'm not watching

Hope they come out with an UHD 4K version combining Part 1 and 2 as a single film. One can dream.

Florence as the Princess is a top level decision, I'm so glad she got the role, she has such a stoic presence

That look Jessica gives after Paul looks at Chani and she says 'this is only the beginning' before seeing the vision of her and smiling at the end of Part I is chilling. She doesn't quite know yet how this will end, but she knows Paul's relationship with Chani will serve a purpose - and she will take advantage of it...

Irulan as a meaningful character-- not just the mysterious author of the history. Smooch.

The transition of Lady Jessica's smile into an evil grin

I need them joined together into one, long, sci-fi masterpiece. Separetely they are magnificent movies, but together… wow.

Thank you! I missed that first bit the other night because we didn’t quite make it on time.

Perfect intro I hope they do a Super Cut screening with Both Films back to back one day

Florence voice + Zimmer music = 🔥🔥🔥

I really hope there’s a Blu-ray release cut like this. I want to watch this movie all the way through uninterrupted

Perfection

Gonna watch this movie over and over again when it hits HBO max in November!

Great way to transition both the ending of part one to the beginning of part two. It’s like reading a good book.

If they don't upload a 5-hour edit of both films together, somebody else needs to. I will watch every second.

this music is so fire

Who is here to watch because they arrived at the cinema late??? Thank you for this!!!

I think there is truly something lost by watching Dune Pt 1 / 2 at home. Every person who I've talked to who did not like it, saw it at home on a crappy TV without even a soundbar. Every person who loved the film, saw it in a theater, and those who loved it most saw it in IMAX. There really is something to Villeneuve's visual style that lends itself to being 3 stories tall, down to his spartan set design. Christopher Nolan always said his own film necessitated this, but, to be honest, I think the credit for that deservedly goes to Denis.

5 hours and 21 minutes long. I checked. Would absolutely sit in a theater for this long and experience the entire novel in one sitting.

we need a 5 hour cut of them put together that would be so sick

Really hope they do a release of both films bridged like this, true five hour movie.

2:47 and the emperor said..nothing you idiots, the emperor is dead, hes locked in my basement. haha. kind of expected eminem to randomly appear

I need a full 6 hour cut where both movies are stitched together and I need it NOW

Very nicely done.

Paul continuing his path into the desert feels so sad in retrospect now, considering how Dune Part 2 goes. Just feels inevitable. Like seeing a train going towards a ravene but being powerless to stop it.

I need them to release a cut of the Dune movies that is just both films uninterrupted.

This needs to be released as a full five hour movie imo

Its a fucking masterpiece My grandma is downstairs. I've blasted this beautiful sound (as usual when I watch dune) so loud, she could hear it. She doesn't understand a word (we're german), and yet she screams "god damn, what are you watching again???!" - thats how powerful this is, with the tone, the music and the silence…

I can’t wait to rewatch Part 2 again when the 4K Blu-Ray comes out in a few weeks.

SO GOOD

If there's a five hour version of the two movies leading up to the release of the next part, I'd probably watch it.

Отличный фильм!

Well done.

There’s a lot of inspiration from the original dune soundtrack. Paul and Jessica hiding from the Harkkonen sounds like the music to Paul taking the water of life.

I liked the way they pronounced Harkonnen in David Lynch's Dune. Sounded more threatening with a 'k' followed by a long 'o'. 1:56 The way they communicate in this movie is pretty solid. It reminds me of the Death troopers in Rogue One.

Hoping we get extended versions of both films one day

Han zimmer is just the fucking 🐐 when it comes to making Sci-Fi film music

part 3 gonna be hype af

best

Now I want it to see again for the fourth time

The sleeper must awaken.

Wow

one of these days i'd love to see a five-hour cut of the two dune films with the ending of part 1 as the intermission

The intro of part 2 could also be post part 2 as Irulan archives the prevoius event.

I feel that only someone like Denis could do an epic like the Hyperion Cantos justice

I loved the movies, and now that I got to think about it, the martyrdom of the Atreides resembles a lot the martyrdom of house Távora from Portugal. It was horrible, and only the children survived.

Put Hans Zimmer's score on any scene and it's converted into epic instantly

Chani at the end of part 1: 😁🥰😍 Chani at the end of 2: 👺👺👺👺

1:55 this Sardaukar chant functions perfectly as an intermission. I wish they would release a 5 hour version of Dune that would combine Parts 1 + 2 using the sardaukar chant as an intermission

This kinda movies are made once in a half century

I think there's probably a better way to cut the ending of part 1 and beginning of part 2 to make it flow as one movie

Hopefully they release a special edition that’s the whole thing connected. Like a criterion collection edition or something. I’d pick it up in a second

I can’t wait for the master cut

Chani last line to Paul in dune part 1 “this is only the beginning” chani last line to Paul in dune part 2 “is it over yet?”

This doesn't have the subtitles for Lady Jessica's hand signal @4.54 . "Enemy".

What soundtrack plays during the opening scene of Dune 2? 2:14

That actor had to stay in the body bag 3 years
