Absolutely loved this, rewatched Part One last night (enjoyed that just as much as my first viewing), this is one of those films that needs to be seen on the big screen, it looks superb, the soundtrack is superb. The acting from the leading roles was great, loved the different aspects of the story, both the political and religious elements of it. Just a great film all round, think the only thing I could mark it down for was how quickly Paul goes from not believing in the prophecy to be 200% on board with it

Edit, although I’m not sure if Paul is internally convinced about being the messiah, or more using it as an advantage to lead the Freman to achieve his goals.

I’m guessing there is going to be a Dune Part Three?

The third film hasn't been officially greenlit but Zimmer is already composing for it.
Paul doesn't believe in the prophecy, he knows the Bene Gesserit created it to control people once their eugenics experiment had completed and they'd bred a superbeing. He was conflicted about using it to manipulate the fremen and start a jihad which would kill billions of people.

He doesn't believe in the Fremen prophecy, but he does believe in the idea that he has to lead a movement that will kill billions of people (committing several planetary genocides along the way) in order to save humanity. I think so, anyway... I didn't read the books that long ago, but I can't be confident I fully understood it even at the time .

Yeah he can see the future and has chosen a course of action which he thinks is best for the universe. And yet will still kill billions of people.

I'm kind of hoping it'll be explained more in the books, I do have the first trilogy just waiting to be picked up (not bought the second trilogy yet mind), really should find the motivation to get around to starting it really. Thanks for the spoilered info as well.

I still need to read 5 and 6, but I've got plenty of other books ahead of them in the queue. Not exactly desperate to jump into them, having read some general impressions about how it all gets a bit silly.

Book 2, from what I recall, will be a challenge to adapt into an entertaining film. Book 3 is much more suited to the screen, and could be great. Book 4 is actually very interesting, but again as with Book 2 I'm struggling to imagine it translating very well.

How many books does the first couple of films cover? Guessing one? Maybe a little into the second?

I've been told that the 6 books by the original author are much better than the other ones, so when I do get round to it, I'll probably just read those 6 and call it a day.

I don't really understand what the point of this film was. Who cares where snow came from.

Tomous wrote:The Creator 5/10

Great concept and aesthetic but the story and script was pretty poor. Very predictable with lots of well trodden clichés. Also, felt like they tried to cram a trilogy worth of story into 1 at the sacrifice of character development. Didn't buy the relationship building between the protagonists at all, which didn't help the finale (which in itself was pretty dumb). Also, the USS Nomad-cool design but is it in orbit or at cloud level? Does it move at lightspeed or very slowly? Whatever the plot requires apparently.
