running well let me know your thoughts on that but more importantly once you've seen dune whether it
was in the theaters or on hbo max what'd you think let's talk about your pros your cons your thoughts
on the direction the story the performances the cinematography the score were you disappointed
were you bored do you not want to see more of this story let's talk about everything in between
in the comments below and also we're talking to neville newton if you've seen a lot of his films
let me know in the comments your top three the neville new films i mean you can let me know your
if you've seen all his films your entire rankings but just share with me your top three
in the comments below so where the heck do we start i mean this film man has so much
hype behind it for me personally the neville new was my favorite director
you have the goat and hans zimmer composing this film you have incredible actors that i'm
just big fans of i have seen the 1984 dune and i've reviewed it on this channel you can get my
full thoughts on that film i've yet to read the novels which i plan to do someday but i am just
very very excited about this ip got the chance to see it here we are talking about it let's start
off with my pros and i want to start this review off by saying to me in my humble opinion i after
seeing it now in theaters imax beautiful screen incredible soundtrack with the sound we'll get to
all that in a second but i have to say for me this is the cinematic experience of 2021 so far i can
completely now understand and kind of sympathize more with my guide than evil anub when he came out
many times in the last couple years saying that dune needs to be seen only in theaters and not do
the whole hbo max and understanding why hbo max is doing what they're doing and i think for a lot of
people it works for them to be able to see it at home but now having seen the film in theaters it's
only really meant to be seen on the biggest screen possible with again understanding it's a caveat
that nowadays people have their own big screens and surround sound but if you have the opportunity
seen in theaters i highly recommend you all take the chance to experience this film on the biggest
screen possible let's talk about the production here without diving too deep into the behind
the scenes of this film but i want to talk about the appreciation for when a film of this type of
caliber this type of sci-fi epicness story game of thrones meets you know star wars which obviously
star wars star trek a lot of sci-fi that i love have been inspired by frank herbert's novel dune
shooting on location creating actual sets and sound designs or sound stages it makes it feel so
real it makes it feel so authentic and the balance of the visual effects the practical effects
with the vfx were perfectly molded together in my personal opinion and
this is why i love sci-fi ladies and gentlemen it's filling the planets it's going to the
different planets it's feeling like it's been lived in the ships have been used multiple
times in the last decades in these films the environments feel authentic i can't stress enough
how visually stunning this movie is and when it comes to that time of the year when films get the
appreciation that they deserve like a dune you best believe you know visual effects production
will be nominated because this film is absolutely stunning but i want to talk about the man who put
the film together this is an ensemble right it's the the directorist the dp is the cinematographer
but i want to talk about the captain the ship i'm talking about my favorite director denis
villeneuve i mean just look at the his filmography speaks for itself prisoners enemy sicario a rival
my personal favorite sci-fi film of all time blade runner 2049 he's been gone for five years but this
is like for my basketball mj bulls fans being from chicago this is like when mj took a break from the
game and came back rocking that 45 jersey and came back like he never left the neville anub
is on the peak of his game ladies and gentlemen and this is to me this film and all his films just
continue to show to me why he's the best director in hollywood i love christopher nolan jordan peels
you know all the great directors that we have in the in the game now your martin scorsese's you
know quentin taratino spike lee all those people are fantastic but to me the neville new just has
this special unique touch to his films they feel so visceral they feel so detailed and meticulous
and for him to handle this ip which for some people it might be very dense i mean this is
a very dense subject matter i mean a lot of people again it's game of thrones in space this story has
politics it has betrayal it has war it has family dynamics it has relationships it has come and of
age there's so much molded and built into this world and this mythology and the mythos that's
involved here it's a lot of stuff going on but i personally think they got the best man for the
job and the denver new and i was just completely in awe on how he was able to convey this dense
material i believe personally if you haven't read frank herbert's novels or if you haven't seen
the 80s film by david lynch if you haven't seen the mini series i personally think you can go
into this film and still kind of understand there might be some things some nuances that you might
not completely be able to digest with the with the film but i think that denive lenovo did the best
that he could of bringing this material to the big screen to pulling out the great performances
from his actors and his cast and i thought that he did a great job of allowing the story to be told
and there's a lot of exposition in this film but i think that the exposition was molded perfectly and
paced perfectly with the direction of the great denis villeneuve which kind of brings me a little
bit into talking about him handling this story i love how his direction emphasizes some of the main
themes in this film like in particularly going to arrakis which again arrakis is the homeland
of the spice which if you have the spice you have the control of the galaxy it gives you
super abilities it gives you like superpowers of a sense so the spice is very important
but what gets forgotten about arakas is the people that inhabit iraq is right and that's
the freeman and i love how the neville anub kind of puts in this modern day story of how
people in very you know i think of lands that have oil of lands that have gold land they have a lot
of great resources but they forget the people that have been minding and protecting the resources and
i love how daniel and new was able to show and emphasize the how formidable the freemen
are and how important it can be to the galaxy so it's just so many things that denive laneu
did so well in this film and again it just proves to me why he's the best director working
in the game in my opinion and when it comes to i talked about the production getting nominated
listen i would not be surprised if the neville news names get brought up when it comes to
best director based on this film and my personal opinion but let's break it down i talked about him
allowing his actors to do what they're great at which is acting let's talk about the performances
and i have to say i mean first and foremost this cast is absolutely insane incredibly beautiful
people incredibly talented people and i and not everyone has the same screen time as you
all would imagine if everyone had the same amount of screen time this would be a 10 hour film but
even with that being said even if someone didn't have the most screen time i felt like every actor
that was on screen gave us their best they gave you they left an impact on the film whether it be
javier bardem as the leader as the freeman we're talking about sharon duncan brewster
as the lead of the arrakis science department we're talking about stellen skarsgard as the
baron josh brolin as gurney dave batissa zendaya i mean seriously this cast is absolutely perfectly
cast and everyone brought their a game but there were some characters that i think were stood out
to me personally and i want to start off with the character that i knew i was going to really
enjoy and i'm a big fan of this this actor here but i think he uh might have stole the film and
i'm talking about jason momoa as duncan idaho man he has so much fun this film you could just tell
that he was given the job because again this is a very dense film it's a very serious film
but jason mamoa as duncan idaho who's a warrior who has loyalty to the atreides family who is a
strategist he is a weapon expert he has a lot of heart to him but he also has a lot of levy
to him and he just brings so much life to this role and seriously i think he stole every scene
that he was in and i can't forget he's a complete badass ladies and gentlemen but more importantly
i said going back to the performance of jason mamoa as duncan idaho his relationship with the
uh paul and with duke and with lady jessica you just felt that loyalty and i and i seriously mean
it when you all see this film jason mama my man he does a great job and like i said i think he
might be my favorite character in the entire film but i i want to talk about the chemistry of these
actors and particularly the family dynamic the family element between timothy charlemagne rebecca
ferguson and oscar isaac as the atreides family and not only does it look like if you know oscar
isaac and rebecca first and if they had a child it would be to be shalom but in seriousness in
seriousness i felt the family i felt the dynamic i felt that they were perfectly cast and i felt
like they were the heart and soul of this film because it's really a story about family and what
legacy means to family right whether it be the moments with paul struggling with two
different legacies he has his father obviously with duke leto as you know the leader of the
tradies and the family there's so much lore and mythology and so many people that came before him
paul has to take on that reign to be the next leader of uh you know everything that they have
going and being the sewer ship to araka so there's that obviously that get kingship right having that
king having that throne in kind of that side of the story and then you transition to what he
has to uh the responsibilities that he has with his mother with rebecca ferguson and her whole
connection with benny jessered which has their own set of abilities and they're able to control
their mind you know fear is the mind killer so he has this struggle that he has to go with
do i take on my father's throne do i go down a path and my mother goes you know went down it's
just you can see him being torn and seeing him how that impacts him and i love how this film
even though it's this super epic sci-fi tale of war and politics and betrayal it's a story about
coming of age and seeing paul atreides which way will he go will he follow his father's footstep
will he go down the path of his mother will he go down his own path i really love that element that
the film has to offer but individually speaking oscar isaac was great he demanded your attention i
thought that jessica played by rebecca ferguson was fantastic and the chemistry again amongst
those three main family members were incredible but just shining a little bit of light on the
lead of this film timothy charlemagne who's had a really great career so far mostly focused on
a lot of like smaller independent films but this is really his first time leading a big blockbuster
film and i thought that he completely sold me as paul and brought him to life and really showed you
a range of emotions whether it was again which path do i take do i have to be this leader what
if i don't want to be a leader who is who is the person i'm dreaming about which route should i
take in my life is just so much that paul had on his plate i thought that tim chalamet did a great
job of leading this film it really kind of set the tone for the rest of this film in regards to going
on this hero's journey essentially as a lot of people like the freeman on the racket look at him
as a messiah so i really thought that timothy chalamet brought his a game in this film but
i don't want to leave out some things that stuck with me in regards to my theatrical experience as
watching this film which i personally do think that every single frame is absolutely picture
perfect it is beautiful to look at and there's some things that kind of stuck up my head i
don't want to give too much away but i'll just go with some things like the first time seeing
the sam worms on a rack is reminded me so much of the neville new sicario film if you all have
seen that film in the highway scene how tense and how much tension was built in that moment
such a perfect scene in this film landing on the rackets for the first time comes to mind going to
the atreides homeland which was just so beautiful and just seeing that power dynamic that they have
the battle of betrayal was so great i mean those are just name a few but there's literally
you can just pause the film and just see like oh my goodness i can crop this out and put this
on my wall or make this a screensaver that's how beautiful this film is but
last but certainly not least ladies and gentlemen i can't go without mentioning how incredible
this score is by the goat my personal favorite composer of all time and that is hans zimmer score
i'm telling you all when you see this whether you're at home you have a surround sound or
you get the opportunity seen in theaters you will be completely transported to this film
whether it be hearing tracks like dream of arrakis to it being seeing the sandstorm seeing the sand
worms come up i mean everything in between he's the goat this score is absolutely fantastic i've
already downloaded it i've listened to it several times and this is such a perfect score for this
type of film so again the goat continues to do his thing but let me transition over to
i've been praising this film for 10 minutes now but let me transition to some things that were
on my criticisms of the film i have to say again i mentioned how incredible this cast is and i
mean it is a ensemble huge talented stack cast but unfortunately as i expected not everyone gets as
much development as i would have personally wanted if you weren't paul atreides or lady jessica
unfortunately there wasn't as much deep dives or much development into the characters i think
for example zandaya who i'm a big fan of as shiny she has moments mostly in flashbacks which i gotta
say that's one of my another criticisms all the flashbacks kind of felt repetitive it was almost
like we were reliving the same flashbacks with a little bit of nuance a little bit of new details
but i think of a character like shawnee i think of the fremen as general they don't have as much
development in this part one which actually brings me to my next point this is a part one of a part
two series and i have to say for me personally i enjoyed this chapter but i can't help to notice
that it it was a lot of kind of loose ends in this particular chapter this isn't necessarily
a standalone film where you know if things don't work out financially or hbo max doesn't blow up we
we won't be getting a part two which will make this part one almost feel incomplete so i do i
am a fan of continuing stories and especially when they announce this is a part one of part two but i
always like to have singular stories to be able to stand on its own and i don't feel like this film
it's a great film don't get me wrong but i don't feel like it has all the fulfillment of an
independent individual film it's more of a setup a chapter of another chapter type of story so i
don't feel like it's a complete story on its own and has its own merits in that sense of the term
in my personal opinion and then lastly it's a two and a half hour plus film i was never bored i was
never uninterested of the narrative going on but i have to say there were some times when i felt like
denis knew who again is my favorite director but i gotta call it when i see it i feel like there was
more focus on the spectacle at times than there was on the actual development of the story and
actually you know really kind of diving deeper into some of the characteristics of some of the
world some of the planets again the spectacle the visuals the score all the production aspects were
absolutely incredible but i did feel like that was more of a priority than sometimes focusing
on the story in my personal opinion so before i give you all my overall thoughts and my score
if you haven't already make sure to like this video share the video leave your thoughts in
the comments and of course subscribe to the channel if you haven't already
overall ladies and gentlemen if you feel comfortable and safe going to the theaters
i cannot recommend this film enough this is a must-see film in the theaters ladies and gentlemen
this is an epic sci-fi film with absolute stunning visual masterpiece with both great performances
an incredible score by the goat himself and hans zimmer in an impeccable direction by the one and
only the neville anub it may be a lot to take in for a newcomer it may require multiple viewings
to fully engage into the lore and the mythology of the world but at the end of the day i think
this film is a must-see movie and that's why i'm giving dune a 4.5 out of five and i can't
recommend it enough if you feel safe if you feel comfortable see this in theaters you will not be
disappointed but hey that's just my thoughts on dune 4.5 out of 5. i want to talk about it more
