Duna

A work of art, the cinematography, the music the designs all beautiful. Two and a half hours that passed like nothing and makes you crave for more. The pacing may seem a bit slow at first, but it blends perfectly into the telling of the story. The characters are well writen and played and even some minor inconsistencies within these characters is overshadowed by the pure beauty of the cinematography and the impressive storytelling. Great Movie. Hoping for Part two soon.

The cinematography and Hans Zimmer music. An experience that should be obtained by all. Those spaceships accompanied with the music will remain for long time in my mind.

Yes books are read but this movie gives a good impression of the worlds created in our minds.

I've just watched this film few hours ago and I'm already looking forward to see the second part.

I've loved especially the visual look of this film and it's of such stunning visual power that literally should be considered as a new standard for every film now on. The photography during the entire film looks amazing even in the most dark frames Greig Fraser managed to keep the scene easily readable and balanced between lights and shadows.

Speaking more of the film itself I think it needs to be watched at least two times... It's a little bit slow in its plot but as audience we have to consider it's just Part One and a back story was needed to make a solid Part Two. And according to that the main character Paul Atreides has been well introduced to the audience, the entire film keeps using his dreams to tell little parts of his back story and to explain the story of the Atreides as well as the Harkonnen and the Fremen.

In conclusion it's a little slow but this choice is supported by the clarity given to the story preparing the audience to Dune Part Two.

Finally speaking of the cast I really got surprised by Timothée Chalamet as its interpretation has been magistral. He managed to give his character life as a person rich of pathos, emotions and with a pure heart, but also ready to make hard choices to live and fight for his idealistics.

I give this film a solid 8/10 just because i think it's a bit too slow, but I've really loved it.

I must admit, I still believe "Frank Herbert's Dune" to be unfilmable. I realised that, watching Dune: Part One in my local movie theater today. That's why people who have read the book should see this movie adaptation as a single piece of art.

Forget the book while watching this movie. Dune, the book drives on the thoughts and inner emotions of the characters - the things that are left unsaid. Visually, that can only be adapted to a certain extent.

Villeneuve has done a better job than anyone could ask for. I think he had to compromise on not bringing even more details to the movie, considering that the majority of the people will not have read the book. The information overload would have been difficult to follow for most.

This movie is definitely slow, so if you are accustomed to constant dopamine stimulation then you might find it boring.

The visuals in combination with the sound/music are hauntingly beautiful and will stick in your mind for a long time. I got goosebumps almost throughout the entire movie.

Dune: Part One definitely serves as a stepping stone for Dune: Part Two, and more to come... If you are looking for action, Dune: Part Two is definitely the movie to be waiting for. So grab some friends and go watch this movie.

Make "Dune: Part Two" happen.

This is only the beginning.

This movie is Denis' child's dream and you can definitely feel it. Scenes packed with gorgeous, vast landscapes and monumental architecture. Visually this film is quite breathtaking. The slower pace of the movie definitely won't be suited for everyone but I had no problems with it.

Timothée Chalamet has a bright future ahead.

Now we're going to wait for part two and three I guess.
