Characters, scenes, dialogues all are made really well and together make perfect ansamble. Cast overall is perfect. It represents all races but makes it so naturally and organically (unlike other shows) that you just don't see any inconsistencies. Cast for the main characters is perfect too. Maybe Dave Bautista is little off in the role of villain because he is too kind-looking guy. All parts of this film are made to work together as one perfect whole. Story and its pace are perfect. This movie doesn't have scenes with histerics, shouting and all characters act really natural and as adults. All in all it is one of the best movies in this genre. It's not plagued with stupid cliches, isn't concentrated too much on action or psychological drama or parents-children problems. It is solid and refined movie and I hope it will save genre from decline.… Expand

Just like the book, at least for major plot points. Visually stunning. Harsh point to cut off part 1, but I hope that just means we definitely get part 2

Denis Villeneuve manage to hit the right balance with this adaption. A balance strong enough to make this difficult adaptation work. I just don't see how he could've made a better version clocking in at 2.5 hours. Would the movie be even better and more true if it were longer? Probably. But that's not how cinema works unfortunately. Even if we never get an extended version, I already know that I will be more than pleased with this one. I saw it twice at the cinema, and even if I unfortunately missed it at IMAX, I had one of the greatest cinema experiences I've ever had when I saw it at a dolby atmos cinema. This is without a doubt one of the greatest audiovisual moments in film history. I can't wait to watch it over and over on OLED when it comes out on UHD. To be transported back to Arrakis, again and again.

I'll be completely honest and say that I'm not Hans Zimmers biggest fans. I do respect him as one of the greatest composers in modern times, but at the same time I feel like he can become a bit too stagnant at times. His score for Dune is anything but stagnant though. I feel like it's probably the best score he's made together with Interstellar. Just a powerful force of nature that feels otherworldly and familiar at the same time. The DP Greig Fraser also did a wonderful job with the cinematography. When the news came out that Roger Deakins wouldn't shoot Dune, I was at first disappointed, but Fraser somehow managed to make me forget it. He helped frame a marvelous transportation to another world. When it came to the acting Chalamet, Ferguson, Isaac and Skarsgård all gave excellent performances and further helped solidify the film. Especially Chalamet and Ferguson, who without questions became Paul and Jessica. It'll be very interesting to see how characters from the film, as well as new ones, will be portrayed and develop in part 2.

Villeneuve continues to deliver astonishing cinematic experiences. Experiences that makes me question life itself and that follows with me long after the ending credits. For me he was already considered one of the greatest even before he made Dune. I've never seen anyone do what he has done since 2010. Seven movies, of which six I consider to be some of the best movies I've ever seen. Mind you, I have yet to see Polytechnique which came out in 2009. A movie I'm very much looking forward to see, as much as I dread it because of it's heavy subject. In the end I feel very inspired by his work. Inspired to keep creating, be it music or writing. And I can't wait for what's coming next. Hopefully it'll be Dune: Part 2. So that my longing for another trip to Arrakis – can satisfy my thirst.… Expand

This one in my opinion is the best Dune movie yet. It's not perfect but I think it's the closest we've gotten. The cast is excellent, the soundtrack is perfect, the pacing was very good in my opinion it included the essential parts of the book, and most importantly of all it seemed very faithful to the book with one exception I noticed which is a change of gender and skin color for one of the side characters. Not sure why they made this change but I was okay with it I think the actress did a fine job. I'm very impressed with the casting I really like this Jessica and in my opinion this is easily the best Gurney and Duncan yet. I think this Paul and Chani have potential too, I guess I'll know for sure in the next movie or two. The special effects were awesome i'm very pleased with what I saw and I'll have to say this is easily the most sci-fi version of Dune I loved the air ships and all the industrial stuff and the cool costumes and the stilsuits and the space ships and when you combine all of that with the incredible soundtrack by Hans Zimmer it's just a really cool experience. Can't wait to watch the next movie!… Expand

They were also able to avoid many of their peer's missteps. It stayed focused on the story from it's own unique perspective. It improved pacing by juxtaposing action with intense emotion and suspense. It will likely be remembered as the best sci-fi epic of the decade, perhaps the best epic of the decade. I know Metacritic is ongoing proof that reviewers think their job is something other than judging the quality of movies, but this looks like it will go down as one of their more memorable misses. This version of Dune should be recommended to any human being with even a drop of curiosity about anything in them. It is a modern masterpiece and I hope we all really notice and reward it's creators accordingly. I will go pay for it on the big screen and encourage you to do the same.… Expand

I was surprised by how well the film handled the complex story proposed by the book, which is an amazing piece of science fiction literature, by the way. Additionally, the movie impresses with stunning visuals, involving atmosphere, convincing acting, stellar cast and a fitting, although a bit slow pace. People might get frustrated at how it ends, giving way to a second part, but for those who know the story from the source material, it is for the best that they preserved a two part structure to better accommodate the whole epic story. I strongly recommend the film to anyone, and I believe those that feared it might not have lived up to the expectations or the quality of the book may put their worries to rest.… Expand

It took his time with worldbuilding and introducing characters and developing them with enough set-ups and pay-offs, even small ones such as Leto claiming he had wanted to be a pilot and later proving that he is quite capable.

Scenes linger, giving you the time to absorb the environments and the emotions it and the characters are trying to convey and the action is there but it not over the top. I struggle to call the fights "realistic", but they tend to be short, close-quarters and pretty brutal.

The only scene I can say I dislike is a short one in one of Paul's vision where he sees armies fighting with some of them performing flips and acrobatics that look more at home in a big superhero movie.

Overall, though, I'd say the movie is somewhere between a 9.5/10 and 10/10 for me and I am eagerly anticipating Part Two.… Expand

Before diving down toBefore Star Wars and Game of Thrones were a big thing in today's sci-fi Hollywood lore, there's Dune and Denis Villeneuve's visual interpretation of Dune is a cinematographical epic that must be seen on the big screen. Before diving down to the point, Dune is impossible to translate on the big screen as there were attempts that other filmmakers tried to do with Dune but never worked. Acclaimed Director of Mulholland Drive, David Lynch, tried to faithfully adapt Frank Herbert's Dune, but messed up due to studio interference all thanks to Universal for messing him up. Then, there was Ridley Scott and his vision of Dune was never seen due to personal tragedy which had him abort the project because of it. And lastly, there's legendary cult Chilean filmmaker, Alejandro Jodorowsky, known for his trippy indie films such as El Topo and The Holy Mountain and his savage version of Dune was the best movie never made all thanks to studios being greedy for not trusting him from adapting the impossible as he completed everything by creating the look and officially casting the warriors (Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, David Carradine, Salvador Dali, Udo Kier, and a name of few..) before it was scrapped from us. Jodorowsky's Dune was way ahead of its time that most sci-fi films paid tribute to greatest movie never made and I highly recommend watching his documentary before seeing the big thing in theaters or at home. Now lets fast forward to the present, we finally gotten Denis Villeneuve's Dune, and his vision of Dune is massive, provocative, and violently superb in each and every way that this film presented. The scope of Arrakis is enormous and uncharted in a way that makes the action sequences in this epic adaptation so badass as the music by the legendary Hans Zimmer and the terrific instant Oscar-worthy winning cinematography by Grieg Fraser steps in as Paul Atreides with his badass father Duke Leto and the Fremen fight the Sardaukar aka House Horkennen from taking the spice away from the planet. There's no doubt that Denis Villeneuve gets the long awaited Oscar attention he deserves after adapting the impossible of how complex Frank Herbert wrote Dune and it is masterfully faithful from the book. The characters in this film are awesome and realistic, the visual effects and costume/production design are immaculate crafted, and the story is mad epic for part one. It can be a bit baffling for some that don't understand how complex Dune is or thinking it's wokey pokey, but the action sequences and narrative tension in this epic is what made Denis Villeneuve's Dune so unique compared to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings franchise and Denis Villeneuve is the easily the best director working today and there's no doubt that Part Two must be made whenever he's ready to make it so we could see the glimpse of House Corrino and the feared Feyd Rautha in action.… Expand

Stunning visuals, and so faithful to the FEELING of the book that I even experienced something I NEVER thought I would experience again: The initial "oh, that's kind of silly and far-fetched" to the "I'm religiously invested in this world and its rules. Bless the Maker and His water...". No one can ever deny that Denis Villeneuve is a true-and-true fan of the novel. He was able to recreate even the most intimate nuances that all of us experienced differently when reading the book. Such an experience.

However even in condensing Dune into a two part film, Denis Villeneuve has packed in an immense amount of detail that will finally satisfy longtime fans of the series. Pretty much casting was near perfect. The weapons, costumes, vehicles, and architecture are in a class of their own, truly presenting a partially familiar, partially alien, and wholly immersive vision of the 102nd Century AG. The sound design and cinematography are also top notch, to the point where I really do recommend you see it for the first time in a theatre. Dune 2021 absolutely deserves the comparisons to the Lord of the Rings films in that it brings an exalted work of fiction to life in a way that will amaze newcomers to the series as much as longtime fans. Truly Denis has done something amazing here, and I hope immensely that he gets to realize his vision in adapting Frank Herbert’s work at least through Dune Messiah. This really is about as good as science fiction can get.… Expand

Really a truly incredible film and baseline for hopefully a long line of Dune movies. The scenery and acting is a perfect fit for this oddessy of a story.

So excited to see part 2 and what else this universe has to offer.

It's just a breathtaking, beautiful movie from start to finish. Incredible screenplay, cast, cinematography, production design, VFX, stunts, costumes, sound, direction and score. Once again Hans Zimmer has created an immersive soundtrack that sucks you into the mesmerising world of Dune... it's the perfect accompaniment to Denis Villeneuve's masterfully created motion picture.

The final "This is only the beginning" scene will have you leave the cinema full of awe and wonder, completely satisfied and wanting for a sequel. Days later and I'm still reflecting on the marvel that is Dune: Part One.

From the most joyful or deeply human moments, to the most horrible or deeply inhuman moments. Sometimes raw and dark as life can be, sometimes wonderful and magical as life can be...

A universal saga in infinitely more ways than one... A mythology filled with values and philosophies colliding with one another... A multiplicity of beliefs, where certainties and uncertainties are entwined with one another, like two inseparable snakes seeking each other without ever finding each other...

Mystical and evanescent, as well as concrete and visceral... Dreams and premonitions, choices and actions, space and time... Or where the role that you play is written but is not, has already taken place but never will...

A cinematographic fresco that is immensely majestic and glorious like the greatest of paintings or the greatest of concertos...

... It answers everything while questioning you about everything, because it is simply giving you the pure truth.

PS : From the entire casting and their performances, to the cinematography+photography+design & visual language as a whole, to the action+choregraphy+music+costumes, the staging and overall atmosphere, the lore/world building, its entire mythology (and its codes), with countless messages and layers... Everything in this movie is pure mastery, pure genius.

An absolute masterpiece.… Expand

Left the theatre each time with warm fuzzies, a feeling that I had just witnessed something special. Similar to how I felt coming out of LOTR for the first time, twenty years ago. There are things shown in this film that I have never seen done, or at least never done this well. I have never seen sand tremble, shift and explode off the screen the way it does in this film. Or watch particles suspended so vividly in the air. And so it bears repeating: maximum screen size yields maximum results.

As someone who enjoyed the source material, I can say that most criticisms levelled at the movie would only be the same ones you'd level at the book. I say this because Denis' adaptation is about 90% faithful, which is rather striking, as it also feels very much like a Villeneuve film. Either way, the outcome is most welcome. Any details glossed over in "part one" (orange bible, banquet scene, Gurney playing the baliset) would have disrupted the gorgeous pacing of this film, which knows when to linger and when to move things forward, when to rise and when to fall, with a HUGE assist from Zimmer's flowing score. In an endless cinematic sea of big dumb boring bass drops, I'll take Dune's milles-plateaux "waltz" every damn time.… Expand

Yo nunca he leído y en este caso mejor porque no quiero caer en esas manías de pseudointelectuales y juzgar esta película comparándola con el libro, pienso que son dos piezas artistas muy diferentes que no se pueden comparar, es importante mencionar que existe la adaptación de DUNA del año 84 de David Lynch y el video juego de estrategia y aventura grafica desarrollado por Cryo . Mi conclusión después de ver el Pre estreno DUNE y sin hacer spoilers pienso que es la composición perfecta entre una banda sonora monumental y efectos visuales con una precisión impecable y sin abusos, lamento que no pude ver la película en su idioma original pues me hubiera gustado apreciar la interpretación original de sus actores, pero se nota con claridad el gran trabajo de actuación por este tan cotizado elenco.
Volver a cine después de tanto tiempo fue duro pero pude sumergirme en su trama a pesar de verla en un cine ruidoso y gente imprudente, pero gracias al tráiler de Matrix resurrección pude al aislarme y lograr concentración y llegar a la película totalmente receptivo y adentrarme en la madurez del argumento que como muchos ya saben plantea aspectos sociopolíticos y religiosos con dimensiones universales y que les aseguro que están muy bien plasmados en la película, se podría decir que es una combinación perfecta entre el conflicto del argumento que plantea Game of Thrones y las pretensiones científicas, culturales y astronómicas de Starwars, y sin olvidar el toque mágico de todos esos procesos que aún no son explicados por la ciencia, pero eso sí esta adaptación de Denis Villeneuve se aleja del estilo narrativo cómico o montaje estúpido que usan las películas de ciencia ficción de las últimas décadas, pienso que estamos frente a una gran saga que viene a renovar la industria cinematográfica, espero que no los decepcione pues a mí me encantó.… Expand

The pacing at start was bit slow although the setup and world building is legendary once the 2nd half kick in this movie is literally Mind-blowing! The SciFi elements were awesome and the acting was mesmerizing,the story was amazing and the direction is legendary
The whole politics and houses things were engaging and the action scenes it was eye candy. The desert worm scenes,the war scene and the Paul's dad's death scene was amazing as hell and the ladies entry before Paul's hand dream thing that music is literally chilling I had goosebumps
The extraordinary powers were not that focused but the visions were engaging the ending was quite unexpecting I thought it would end with something it felt like "why..I want it more" and it's keeping the hype for 2nd part.

I would put this up there with the first time I watched Star Wars as a 10 year old. Truly epic, can't wait for the second installment.… Expand

Villeneuve did it with Bladerunner and he has done it again with Dune. Made a masterpiece of scifi in an existing universe. Dune is slow, evil, dark, gritty and just plain beautiful.

Best movie in a very long time. A heros journey starts and it was done beautifully. Acting, the score, the pacing and cinematography, to the special effects...A plus plus.

This is the Fellowship Of the Rings of this decade, slowly paced but wonderfully directed. all the plot points just... make sense, nothing seems to be undeserved or hinder the experience of the movie. Great soundtrack too.

Now this is true faithful to the book of Frank Herbert (albert some parts have changed).

A very powerfull adaptation of a book that was, until then, considered impossible to adapt. It has a slow pace, but I don't think it could be another way. The picture and sound are outstanding. Trully a masterpiece.
