1. Dune is only getting better the more I see it and in this video, I discuss why in my opinion, its the ultimate science fiction film. How would you rank it alongside the great sci-fi films and what are your thoughts on the points I raised.

2. Imagine Foundation by Denis Villeneuve! Kreygasm!

3. The science fiction film for your generation? What about my generation? I've been waiting 40 years for this movie! The 1984 version by Dino De Laurentiis and David Lynch was such a disappointing failure, but Denis Villeneuve has really hit the mark. Having read the entire series of Dune books three times, I know that no movie can ever do it complete justice, but Villeneuve's creation does such a good job and has so many recognizable character interactions (and such good acting), strongly supported by Hans Zimmer's amazing score, that I keep experiencing these deep emotional responses every time I see the movie. I saw Star Wars in the theater when it was released in 1977, but this is way, way better. Mind you, this is also an adult movie, making no attempt to pander to a more juvenile section of the audience, like Star Wars did (and the franchise continues to do)… likely one of the main reasons why the studio did not want to fund the entire production at once. But, boy am I grateful to Villeneuve that he stuck to his principles. What a breathtaking masterpiece!

4. This movie is a trip.. True Sci fi masterpiece and imo top 5 best scifi movies with this one on 1. Lots of peopke say you can feel that it's a half movie I don't agree cause it does end with Paul Atreides being the one. That's a solid ending. Gladly the conclusion is in production.. This movie is the Lawrence of Arabia of scifi. An epic. A masterpiece. Totally agree

5. This movie was amazing and i can’t get enough of people gushing about it 🤩

6. Stop sucking off villyneuve whatever. He is cross-eyed already.
   And it sucks. This is a suck ass bastardization of Dune. Stop it.

7. I absolutely LOVED this movie and I’m now halfway through the book

8. The sand worm when it faces Paul and Jessica was tiny compared to the harvesting scene, I hope they mention this in part 2.

9. 4:30 I always find “unfilmable” for a book with a story to only show a lack of imagination. Maybe a book that deals in abstracts, it’s only prose and has no story can be called unfilmable. But not Dune.

10. Villeneuve's Dune has set a new standard for modern science fiction. One that will likely be exceeded by Part 2.
    It will be a long year waiting for the next instalment, in which I'm sure the director, crew and cast will unleash the full magnitude of their immense talent.

11. quality video mate. got my sub 😉 merry xmas

12. Cortex, forgive me, but you say that the spice melange is necessary for “folding space.” No, it’s used by the Spice Navigators to find paths through folded space.

    [Source: the ‘filmbooks’ Paul studies (Dune Part One elapsed time: 6 minutes 40 seconds through 6 minutes 50 seconds: “…*For the Imperium, spice is used by the navigators of the Spacing Guild to find save paths between the stars*…”)] …
    And…
    [“… the finest Guild navigators, men who quest ahead through time to find the safest course for the fastest Highliners …” — Frank Herbert’s Dune. Chapter 45, page 725 (Kindle Edition)]

13. are you the grey haired guy on that other channel….you have a young sounding voice, but I agree with pretty much all your reviews…similar tastes and age I suppose

14. Me: so you liked the movie ?

    Cortex:

15. FYI: Ridley Scott quit the Dune production because his brother passed. He picked up Blade Runner AFTER quitting Dune.

    Ref: Dangerous Days Documentary

    Good content bub.. keep it coming.

16. I love how much everyone collectively loves this movie.

17. "Mewvie" – Cortex Videos

18. At the risk of sounding pedantic, Hans Zimmer's contribution isn't a soundtrack. It's a score. The score is just one component of a film's soundtrack, which also includes ambient sound, dialogue, Foley effects, as well as the final mix of all of those components.

19. I really respected the screenplay. It takes confidence to jettison 90% of the book's plot. They wrote a character focused story. Then they filmed the heck out of it. Dune is an experience, and movies that are an experience are few and far between.

20. While I liked the character Paul in this movie, I felt like they didn't do enough to show that Paul is basically kind of a badass from the beginning. While naïve about where he's going and what he's going to do about it, the book expresses that in any given moment he is on top of things. He figuring things out, reading body language and calculating outcomes. There are glimpses of this in the movie, and I understand the the book reveals these things in inner monologues, but I would have liked to see a little more.

21. A thougtful and grounded essay, thank you.
    May I ask the name of the first audio track?

22. Another good franchise with world building is the matrix. I put one earphone in while working and I’ll find myself just listening to the audio of matrix, Star Wars, inception, Harry Potter, and interstellar to name a few. Really transports the viewer/listener.

23. I just wish I heard all of the dialogue! Especially between Paul & Lady Jessica while buried in the 'copter. I've seen the movie 3 times and still can't make out the words! Guess the director & the editor know the script so well they don't realize the words aren't properly audible or ennouncated.😢😢 that's why Peter Jackson had the dialogue post recorded in a studio rather than on the set

24. I still think both Bladde Runner movies take the cake for best Sci-fi movies… but If Dune part 2 is as good as the first part it would definitely be my #1

25. FYI, the W has a V sound in "Jordorowsky", so it's pronounced Jordorovsky.

26. Great video. I'm going to see dune for the second time this weekend. i was so blissfully surprised at how beautiful it is on so many levels.

27. Folding of space is possible thanks to Holtzman Effect. Spice has nothing to do with it.
    Spice allows Guild Navigators to find safe paths when traveling through space which is very important since AI or any advanced computer technology is banned.

28. this is already my favorite franchise, even over Star Wars now. I hope they aren't afraid to go dark and weird in the next film(s).

29. “Dune” describes the full-scale civilization, science, economy, society or culture, politics, material & human resources, environments😍.
    
    It also makes a great edutainment teaching us about all sustainability, environmental, economic, social (or human), and political🌎.
    
    Melange, greenery & economy are all crucial. Both corruption & ochlocracy are horrible. Reformation is needed, but with minimum victims.
    The American SF masterpiece has finally become the movie masterpiece, meeting the fittest person for the director🌸.

30. Love Villeneuve’s Dune. You’re absolutely correct about the difficulty of bringing classic sci-fi to screen. Love Arthur C. Clarke’s books esp. Rendezvous with Rama, City in the Stars and Childhood’s End. I know Rendezvous has been in development hell. I really think Villeneuve can probably pull off Clarke’s work if he wanted to.

31. I hope in part 2 we can get some flash back scenes that could fill in the gaps. More Leto scenes showing how he was very tactic and maybe he did set something in motion knowing what was coming to help Paul. 🤞 This honestly could have 3 movies easy

32. Amazing film. The only downside would be the fact we didnt see "Father.. the sleeper had awakened" and we didnt feel the loss that harshly, but everything else .. spot on !

33. I've seen Dune (2021) six times now. It is now my second favourite movie, after LOTR. I've been a fan of the books since I was 12 and I had lost hope for a good adaptation. I was kinda at peace with it. I said to myself, no movie can be better than the books, and that was that. I still think the books are extraordinary, but this movie brought something to the table: visuals, music, atmosphere, emotions, all at once. You can't have that while reading. Thank you, Denis Villeneuve, for being true to the vision. I wish I could tell him somehow how important it is for us Dune nerds that he didn't butcher the source material.

34. Visually stunning. I max worthy.
    If all movies looked like this theaters wouldn't have a problem.
    They didn't highlight enough how important spice is.

35. Dune is set in 20 thousand years in the future, the 10191 is set after the Spacing Guild toke over space travel

36. Best criticism I've heard so far, and it's a pretty small one, is the sterility of the environment. The desert is a sterile environment, yes, but everything in the film feels starkly…tomblike in its minimalism and lack of population. It almost feels like a shipwrecked population, not a planetary occupation.

37. Yes it was pretty. But, most of the characters weren’t on screen long enough for you to get to know them or care before they died. And, the ones that did manage to not die I can’t say they did a very good job making me care about them or their plight either. It just felt empty. The first episode of the Mandalorian did a far better job of developing the character in 39 mins and he hardly spoke.

38. June?

39. 8:24 “part of the problem…classic sci-fi is thinky, sprawling and intricate” Says a lot about society

    I loved the film but I’m biased to anything Villanueve does

40. Denis’ Dune is the reason why people need to let artists create. If you loved the book and hated the ‘84 film, maybe DUNE ‘21 satisfies you. If you didn’t like any of the films, the literature still exists and that can be your go-to

    Either way, there’s an option now that exists, all at varying levels of artistry and creativity. I never get when complain about modernizing a creative work. It’s not like they’ve only eaten the same exact piece of food their whole life

41. I went to see it three times and I had a strange experience with it. The first time I saw it was the Friday going into opening weekend and I really enjoyed it. The second time I saw it was a Saturday just over a week later. That time I didn't quite enjoy as much and it felt a little too long. But the third time I went to see it was exactly 24 hours later, the same showing but on Sunday and I really, really enjoyed it, and it didn't feel long at all.

42. Eloquent entry yet again as the painstaking momentum continues to build for the curtain roll in Oz. What really excites me is that many viewers actually enjoy it more the 2nd or 3rd time…evidence of a multi layered enduring classic 🤩😍💪🏼

43. A scifi masterpiece

44. Fantastic content…

45. You know what Denis Villeneuve should adapt next?

    RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA

46. This is a good review. Hope to watch Dune when it comes out in December in New Zealand.

47. Characterless but some nice imagery ! 5/10

48. about the ending, I could use more screen time following Paul's and Jessica's journey through the desert and ending part 1 with finally meeting the Fremen instead of getting into Fremen's world 0,5% and then cut. but I'm ok with this because it is still epic.
