This was a cinematic wonder this film!

It’s also the only movie I’ve seen in recent years and what comes to mind where the enjoyment for the movie grows with the passing of time – post watch. This may sound insane but the further the gap grows from me watching the movie to now, 5 minutes from now, 5 hours from now even. The further more I enjoy it.

I can vividly see the scenes being played out within my minds eye. A lasting impression has definitely been made.

This wasn’t just a cinematic spectacle but it felt like a whole educational piece on lore, culture and everything in-between. I believe that is why I’m enjoying the movie more post watch. Reminding myself what has happened as in the moment, I’m still either digesting the previous scene or the lore dump-age from the character or creature in front of me (on-screen) now. Bonkers.

I don’t need to discuss the cinematography as I’m sure you know what I’m going to say about it. However, I bet the fatigue comment will surprise some of you. You never know, a scattering of you may even agree with me.

Plenty to discuss in this movie but I will apologies now, there are a few moments when I just stop talking film and just take in what my eyes are trying to digest back to my brain.

Wow, this film got me… I can’t wait to check out Dune Part Two. I already feel mentally prepared for that visual fight!

Interesting thing is though and I hope it doesn’t put some of you off watching this.

I watched two movies this week. The other one I preferred and would always watch over this. The big reason for this is… You know what. I’ll tell you in the post-watch review. I’m always happy to start a conversation below if you want me to open up more about my thoughts with Dune and why I would choose the other over this.

Got you there ey!?

Play The Tape!

P.S. I get confused at the beginning, the relationship between Paul and Lady Jessica. Simple reason I missed a subtle line from Paul “Mother” and the way another word was given. “Father!” Don’t worry I work it out eventually 🤔😂

Put simply, Lady Jessica looks so good and young, for a moment I thought they were siblings. If only there was a “Your Father” and that wouldn’t have happened.

P.P.S. I take my hat off to Denis Villeneuve. What a vision, what a story to take from page to film. What pressure he must have felt. Makes me respect him as a Director, a Feature Filmmaker and as a human being.

P.P.P.S. Sorry for such a long comment, clearly I've been inspired by Dune.

Let's go! Need me some popcorn for this one

Perfect way to start the weekend! Denis Villeneuve is easily one of my favourite directors of all time. Also helps that he's behind some of the best science fiction ever put on screen 😁

Man, I gotta say I love watching movies with you and the other guys here. Not just because of your insights, but also because of your excitement while watching banger movies like this one!

Mr Sym

Just started to dive in and watch your reaction, I'm hyped already from the first few minutes!

Local Degenerate

Kai you wouldnt believe how much this made my day. Thanks!

Ducard

Great video, thank you. Always a good time ordering a pizza and watching your reactions on a saturday afternoon. :-) Really looking forward to part 2. A couple of characters will be introduced but all in all you know the world now so you might have an easier time realizing what is happening. And Timothee Chalamet best performance so far which gets even better in part 2. Same like Robert Pattisons performance in Batman. A really good casting suprise.

Mr Sym

Just finished the reaction, absolutely fantastic! I hope Dune 2 isn't too far off, I reckon you'll be blown away! Absolutely agree with you on the fatigue point, as well as how it builds on you long after the film is over. Takes time to digest something like this for sure.

Have you watched Arrival? Another Denis movie that is superb in its storytelling. Never read the Dune books for the same reason you haven’t, but god the movies are stunning in all aspects.

Nj-Howey

how soon do you think we will see part 2 (obviously after the blockbuster film week is done of course, how soon after?)

Local Degenerate

My name is Paul you mf!!! Take that back!! It's a strong name and you laugh!!

Kai Zammit - Filmmaker Reacts

Hopefully soon mate but truthful answer.... Fuck knows. I'll put a poll up soon or it might show up as a mystery movie. Regardless I'm excited. Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for.

Nj-Howey

what will be next movie for blockbuster week then?

Kai Zammit - Filmmaker Reacts

It's either Lord of the Rings or The Raid. Transformers I want to do last. I say movie, week. I'm going away now for a few days (surprise family trip), so more like Movie-broken-up week. ✌🏻

This movie covers the first half of Dune, part 2 covers the second half. The third movie will cover the sequel book - Dune: Messiah. But the first Dune book was a completed story, Messiah is kind of an answer to many readers not being able to understand the message of the first book... and Messiah makes it blatantly clear (in a good way). Just some background lore: The reason Dune has that retro feel is because they basically outlawed hi-tech computers and AI after it all went to shit. There was an event called the Butlerian Jihad which was essentially a revolt against the "thinking machines". So they rely mostly on "Mentats" which are more or less human computers (the people with the eyes that go white when thinking). Same way that space travel relies on Spice for the Guild Navigators to navigate space rather than computers. And that the doctors can diagnose people just by inspecting them via touch. Also the people floating is via suspensor belt. Similar technology to what the shields use, but used for traversal. You can use them to float down or up or leap greater distances.

When I become a king in the real space opera ill remember this!

Roqley

Dune, the grandfather of the Grimdark future. Warhammer 40,000 and Dune share nearly the same base timeline of humanity but with no warp up until the age of strife. Instead of mentats, you got servitors. But still with a similar theme. All powerful messiahs don't go very well. In addition that whoever that messiah may be, there is a large gulf between what the messiah wants and is trying to accomplish, and what others do in their name instead. Yet still claiming it the will of their messiah.

subscribed just for this film. i hope you post Dune Part 2 soon!

EatMyMittenz

i don’t think any other blockbuster could ever hold a flame to Dune Part 2 so hopefully soon 🙏

The night is Dank and full of Memers

Awesome! - Not sure if people mentioned it, but the visions of Jamis (The guy Paul kills in the duel at the end) are actually the memories of the "Herald of the Change" woman, from when Jamis was teaching her about Arrakis. That is why when Paul tells her "I know you loved a Fremen warrior who died in battle." She is extra shocked because at that moment, Jamis is still alive. It's also what switches her from being a passive bystander to actively trying to help Paul and Jessica. Really awesome detail with how they play on Paul's visions tricking us a lot.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

165 Million is absurdly low for this level of film by the way. Just look at Marvel and DC and other massive productions over the last near 2 decades, their budgets, and how utterly shite they look.
