When Frank Herbert wrote "Dune" he was an ardent Ecologist, keenly interested in Human Evolution and all things of the Natural world. He didnt want a Tech centrist scifi theme where "Things" were the advancement. He wanted "People" to be the Advanced thing. Look on it from that perspective and Dune makes a ton of sense. The reasoning for this goes back to a story event called the Butlerian Jihad.
I really enjoyed the Butlerian Jihad and the follow up novels of the trilogy. It was interesting to see how Herbert's son saw everything starting with the great houses, the machines and like.
Almost everything Brian Herbert put out was drafts of his father’s work. That’s why he partnered with Kevin Anderson to flesh out the rough draft. If you ever read Dreamer of Dune you realize he basically wrote dossier for the characters with backstories psychology motivations. That’s why from the first pages the characters feel like real people. All Brian Herbert did with Kevin Anderson was turn all the volumes of work into companion books to complete Frank Herbert universe. Kevin Anderson is the guy who early on work for LucasArts building the Lucas’s Expanded Universe to Star Wars and DC also used him to some books including a definitive story about Krypton leading to the birth of Superman
To be clear the books Brian Herbert wrote are 100% his books but they’re the fleshed out rough backstories Frank Herbert to build the world of Dune. I years ago read everything Dune because Brian Herbert announced they completed everything that Frank Herbert left behind. Completing the final book is where the idea to finish the saga beginning to end came from. Frank Herbert was beginning work on Hunters of Dune when he died with a final conclusion book after.
The blue eyes are a result of the spice. Zendaya's people are called the Fremen, which are a sort of freedom fighters and the original inhabitants of planet Arrakis (where spice comes from). The have blue eyes because of consumption of the spice. Spice (spice melange in full) can be considered a drug but it's actually extremely rare and valuable. Consuming it is a sign of great wealth in the Dune universe. Besides the blue eyes, it increases your lifespan and also sometimes gives you the power of prescience. The "halo's" you see around some people are a sort of personal energy shield used in combat.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames plus it has immense political power, who controls arrakis controls the spice - who controls the spice controls the universe. The spice is extremly important to a) the bene gesserit - an matriachal secretice order who plan to bring the Kwisatz Haderach - the male offspring of their breeding program for generations. he is like a superhuman being. they carefully manipulate relationships and "collect" key genes to achieve their goal. and we have b) the navigators. these... let's call them "guys" are able to fold space and maintain space travel. they are mutated from the consumation of spice and can only survive in a container "floating" in spice melange gas
Just as an addition to all these explanations, the spice is used by The Guild of Navigators for interstellar travel, without it, this not being possible and humanity would not be able to colonize all the planets they did, and that makes it so valuable P.S.: just saw someone explained that above 😂 sorry for repeating it
Dune is still one of my absolute favorite stories ever. The original 6 books are fantastic, and the prequels and sequels written by the original author's son with another guy are interesting as well. This is actually the third time the first book has been adapted to film. Now, if only they continue and make the rest after this, I'll be super happy! To answer a question you asked, the super blue in blue eyes are not natural, they are a sign of addiction to melange, aka spice, which is only found on Arrakis, aka Dune. What's funny is what melange actually is. People in universe understand that spice is connected to the giant sandworms of Dune, but what they don't seem to get, and one does need to read between the lines a bit to understand, is that it's actually sandworm shit. I love it! The auras are actually shields. They block anything going above a certain speed. The only way to penetrate them is to strike slowly. Fast on defense, slow on the attack, that's the energy shield mentality. Also, a laser based weapon hitting a shield causes an explosion with the same destructive power of a nuke. That is one reason why swords and what not are still heavily used in this future. Can't wait to see this, and for you guys to see it. The spice must flow!
😂 that reminds me of a Jack Nicholson Morgan Freeman movie where Jacks characters super expensive coffee is like bat shit or something. Not a great movie but that was kinda funny
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes, The Bucket List. And that is real coffee, the most expensive in the world, made from coffee beans plucked from the poop of not bats, but civets, a weasel type animal, rare, I think.
Oh, it's interesting about the shields. I assumed that they work like this. Probably the developers of Mass Effect were inspired by this detail to create kinetic shields in their game. I really love this game, so maybe that's why I guessed how the shields work in this trailer :D
The Flicker of Blue when they are fighting are their knives impacting their personal shields. They knife fight because the shields are basically invincible to fast moving objects aka bullets(With some exceptions..don't fire a Lasgun at a Shield..it gets messy). But they don't fully stop objects that move slow enough. Hence one of Gurney's quotes from the books and original movie "The Slow Blade Penetrates the Shield."
when the director and stunt crew met to arrange the action scenes they ran into a problem: real martial arts werent able to be used without a major plothole...specifically the body shields. the Blue eyes are when the Spice Melange, it grants long life (in some cases thousands of years), it grants the ability ro see the future, and a whole host of other abilties.
The Blue eyes are called, " The eyes of Ibad" which is the result of ingesting the spice melange which gives extended life, prescience, and enables faster than light space travel. It is also highly addictive and withdrawals can result in death. The Fremen are the native peoples of the planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.
the blue/red auras (as if this wasn't already explained 9000 times so I apologize) are called 'Holtzmann Shields' ..they are shields that repel fast-moving objects like bullets - rendering guns ostensibly useless in this universe - but allows slow things to pass, like oxygen, but also knives. Blue eyes are from 'prolonged exposure to spice'
Hi, I reád the books written by Frank Herbert - the first one when I was 14 years old. I was amazed by the story and everything in it. Then I saw the first movie adaptation on VHS in its time but I didn't like that at all. Then in around 2000 a new adataption came out as a mini series (3x1.5 hours) with the same title: Dune. Two years later I could watch the next mini series as The children of dune which contained the second book (Messiah of dune) as well. For me these two mini series could give back most better the details of the novels so far, so I like them very much. I can just offer to watch these for everyone but don't expect too much about the visualisation - this aspect isn't the most important at a story like the Dune. I am exited about this new movie but a little bit afraid as well: Will it long enough to give back the whole story (the Dune was a double book in my country), can it reach the details that the series could, etc? Bye Bye
@Definitely Not Definitive The saturation of the blood with the spice melange is what causes the eyes to turn blue. The spice (the substance that the Universe relies on for space travel and a plethora of other things) is ubiquitous on Arrakis. It's present in small quantites in the air, the local food, etc, but it's stronger in the desert regions (there's a spoilerly reason for this that I won't go into). It's also a drug. An incredibly addictive drug, one that expands consciousness. If you stop being exposed to it, the withdrawal symptoms eventually lead to insanity and death.
Very simple. Super-skilled Paul. His Dad gets a promotion, working with Spice. Office back-stabbing causes problems & Paul & his Mother escape, are adopted by natives. They get super organised, find out a LOT more about how Spice is made, become friends with GIANT sand worms, kill a whole lot of people and decide that corporate management needs overhauling. That, but two three-hour movies, because it's very big and very cool. The Godfather meets Game Of Thrones in Space, with a Star Wars budget. Oh, and Paul may be the Messiah. (What's In The Box? PAIN)
The original Dune is still my favorite sci fi ever. I still love the intro that plays out in the beginning of the movie: Princess Irulan " The beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that it is the year Ten Thousand One Ninety One. The Known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time the most precious substance in the Universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life, the spice expands consciousness, the spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its Navigators, who the spice has mutated over four thousand years, use the orange spice gas which gives them the ability to fold space - that is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe, a desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy, that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune. "
The blue eyes occur when maximum Spiece saturation has been reached. However, it comes with a cost: even a minor use and addiction to the Spice can lead to death IF withdrawal is attempted. in short: once its taken it must be taken forever.
"The Spice must flow" is only in the 1984 movie. It does paraphrase a line in the book, but it's not an important line in the book, just the idea behind it
I'm not sure if anybody else mentioned it but, Spice is also fundamental to space travel so Spice production being disrupted would lead (once stockpiles ran out) to the death of a good proportion of the higher ranks of society throughout the Imperium (due to addiction). Without Spice the Navigator Guild cannot safely fold space to instantly travel to different star systems, as well as the Guild dying out due to Spice withdrawal since they have the greatest need for Spice. No Guild, no faster then light travel and no Imperium. Bene Gesserit Sisterhood is also dependent on the Spice so a lot of political power rests in the hands of the house that is mining the Spice and its the lure than is used to draw in the Atredies.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The Guild Navigators are human mutants who live in a Spice infused environment. The core belief of the Guild is the spice must flow, because they are totally dependent on it. You can see some members of the guild in the trailer, behind the Imperial Envoy as they meet the Atredies (the smile Gurney scene). They are wearing helmets, filled with orange spice vapour.
I've lost count as to how many times I've read the Dune series. I don't compare movies to the books as they have to be approached differently. Cheers for the reaction.
Love these trailer reactions! League of Legends has many amazing music videos like "Get Jinxed", "Mortal Reminder" and "As we fall" that serve as character introductions you guys could react to!
Dune is incredible, and reading each book makes you think. I am on the 3rd book Children of Dune and I am loving it. One of the major themes of Dune is being wary of charismatic leaders, about the dangers of a hero. Dune is about the flaws in humanity that we may never overcome. I am really happy with the casting of Paul and Chani(Zendaya), they look like their age in the books(15). I read the book at the same age. Also the worm you see in the trailer isn’t even one of the really big ones.
I am so hyped for this movie because everything seems to be getting done right for once. THIS is the properly handled adaptation that so far looks like the one all of us major Dune fans have been waiting for. The biggest hurdle is that the studio seems to be going out of its way to undercut the movie in every way it can from it's campaign of manually copy striking reviewers who are praising it to proclaiming hesitancy at even green-lighting the 2nd half. I swear it's like they actually want it to fail despite how much positive hype it's generating and how many major named actors have been running to them to get parts in it.
We will say that we appealed the copyright claim and Warner Brothers released it. And we aren’t a big channel by any means. They are one of the better studios that works with reactors from our experience. That’s just our experience though. It is weird they didn’t shoot both films back to back. Seems like it would mean more to show faith in the movie by already having the sequel lined up 🤔🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The crazy thing is, there's no real reason for the claims in the first place, not just on your video. The responses, reactions and reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and the vast majority of the claims are being done manually as opposed to the usual YT shenanigans of automated striking. So someone at WB is literally going out of their way to punish people for actually looking forward to the movie and basically positively promoting it.
Dune is something I've always wanted to get into but has never really gotten around to. I really like the theme and all that though, it feels so retro but also important in some abstract way. Kind of the same feeling Orwell gives me, not sure why.
It’s odd it never had the commercial success LOTR did considering one is the father of fantasy and Dune the father of Sci Fi. Hopefully this gets people like us who are unfamiliar with it interested in more 😊
i fear that the movie will not do justice to dune, i really hope they make it a long saga and not just this one movie because the story is very rich, it's not possible to squeeze it all in one movie. great reaction, as always!! there is also the dune game from 1992 and one from 1998 which was also made by westwood, the legendary studio that made C&C (the good ones:)
The blue eyes is because of the Spice... Arrakis or Dune is the only planet where you find spice, which is needed to enhanced humans for interstellar travel among other things. It is a comodity similar to Oil is today for us. The one who controls spice (or oil) controls everything in the Universe. It is all over, in the air the water etc... of Arrakis (or Dune) and thus it's native people inhale it and eat so much of it that they get those blue eyes (and spoiler alert: enhance the mind). The spice is produced by the sandworms btw.
There has been four attempts to make this movie the one the that died in pre-production by director Alejandro Jodorowsky (that would of stared Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, and Salvador Dali), then there was David Lynch's attempt 1984 movie of Dune with another singer staring that (Sting). At this point we get to the Syfy Channel's attempt at Frank Herbert's Dune (2000), and then Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (2003). The three movie share one thing in common they where all filmed on sound stages. No a funny note Orson Welles was bribed to do the movie by the director/producer getting Mr Welles favorite restaurant's head chef to do the food services. Looking forward to this one.
Blue within blue eyes :D That is quite simple and is not a spoiler. Arrakis has spice in the air, in the vegetables, water, and in animals. People who stay too long in Arrakis integrates spice into its system and become addicted even if not consuming directly because of everything in the environment. It expands consciousness, but the blue within blues eyes is a mark you are addicted to and will depend on for the rest of your life. The backside is that withdrawal will kill you. It is not unique to the fremen because people outside Arrakis who consume it regularly end up addicted and have Eyes of Ibad.
Blue eyes are the physical indicator of the addiction to the spice, Melange. The original books describe it as “blue within blue”. The spice comes, and only comes, from the all-desert planet known as Arrakis, or Dune. Melange is what allows humans to travel through space, it is used in religious orders for various rituals, and grants users long life, but it is highly addictive. Once taken, the user can never stop taking Melange. As Chani hints at in the trailer, Dune’s atmosphere is permeated with spice. Star Wars was inspired by Dune. The other movies never did the story justice. But if this version does (and seeing the cast and how this director did Sicario, Arrival, and most importantly, Bladerunner 2049, I have the utmost faith that it will), this story might take its rightful place as number one space operas/sci-fi of all time.
Played the Playstation1 / Psx game which was prob loosely based on the original film from 1984 (which I never seen, btw). It was from same folks who made the Command & Conquer series, and it showed. :)
It wouldn't be so bad, if you read the book after seeing the movie. I do not know for sure, of course, but feel fairly confident in thinking, there will be plenty of book parts remaining which will not appear in a 2 1/2 hour movie. In 1984, director David Lynch, had over 5 hours of film, wanting to split it into two movies, and he still felt there was more story to tell. I hope the movie does some justice to the story, but it is a deep tale, with thoroughly well conceived worlds and characters, with themes of ecology, economics, politics, racial justice, and more.
This is only Part 1. It's being developed as two movies. The downside is that from everything I've read and listened to it seems like the making of the second part will be contingent on the success of the first, which is shit. I'm guessing this first movie is going to end when Paul eventually becomes Muad'Dib. This would leave the Fremen/Harkonnen war, Paul becoming the Kwisatz Haderach, Alia's birth and development as a major story character and the eventual conflict with the Emperor as the main story points for the second movie.
Yeah might be good to get to love the characters first snd then dive into the book especially since this first movie only covers half of it (and probably 1/5 of that half 😂)
In Dune universe computer technology forbidden after machines uprising and Spice is only thing that allow continue space travels - people take it to get ability of navigation in space. Only source of spice is Arrakis so control over it - control over whole logistics in galaxy.
this is not a trailer, this is the whole movie.... and i would HARD pass on any remake but n ow the i know DV is directing, it's a must watch for me... he is the director that has impressed me most in the past 5-6 years, prisoners, blade runner, sicaro.... all fantastic, high level shit
But from what we understand Lynch’s 84 version deviated from the book quite a bit. So not sure this is a true remake. Either way the director is definitely very good and should hopefully pull it off 😎🤟
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames i just came out of the theater ( today is the premiere in most parts of europe ). I’m blown away by this film. If you can, go and see it in an Imax. Thanks for your great reaction video and greetings from Germany.
I think you'll find Paul is not what you think. And you'll soon discover that his journey, his "hero's journey", is not at all what it entails. The blue in blue eyes of Ibad give sight to all that possess them, and give all-seeing sight in some. But this doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. Sometimes ignorance or indeed blindness is bliss. Oh Paul you poor boy...
I am not a Fan of These kind Of Subjects.. But I am Gonna Watch This Movie at any cost Just Because of The Filmmaker Dennis Villeneuve who have Created Masterpieces Like ARRIVAL & SICARIO SERIES....
The spice makes Ur eyes blue if U had it enough so reason Paul has blue eyes is he's been on arrakis for a few years while before he only just arrived. Anyone can get blue eyes if U take enough spice it's just if U live on arrakis too the spice is in the food the sand everywhere and the different colours r shields
Please take my advice. Do NOT go see this movie. Star Wars was a "kids" version of "Dune". As for the "Power Rangers"...........Not even in the same Universe. "Dune" will "hurt" your brain. Again for your own sake, Take A Pass on "Dune". Play a video game. Or watch one of those "Comic Book" movies, instead. You will thank me later.
Well I think it was. I think it was a series of 6 books. The 1st one called "Dune" being the BEST SELLING SCI-FI BOOK OF ALL TIME. So yes, I think it was a book................

Love these trailer reactions! League of Legends has many amazing music videos like "Get Jinxed", "Mortal Reminder" and "As we fall" that serve as character introductions you guys could react to!
You mention songs like jinxed that is not that great and you don't mention kda the group that promotes the game damn
We will get to the music for LoL for sure 🥳
Dune is incredible, and reading each book makes you think. I am on the 3rd book Children of Dune and I am loving it. One of the major themes of Dune is being wary of charismatic leaders, about the dangers of a hero. Dune is about the flaws in humanity that we may never overcome. I am really happy with the casting of Paul and Chani(Zendaya), they look like their age in the books(15). I read the book at the same age. Also the worm you see in the trailer isn’t even one of the really big ones.
15 is so young 😯 Heard books are amazing 🤩
i love these two. just wonderful people.
Thanks so much! 🥰☺️🤗
I am so hyped for this movie because everything seems to be getting done right for once. THIS is the properly handled adaptation that so far looks like the one all of us major Dune fans have been waiting for.
The biggest hurdle is that the studio seems to be going out of its way to undercut the movie in every way it can from it's campaign of manually copy striking reviewers who are praising it to proclaiming hesitancy at even green-lighting the 2nd half. I swear it's like they actually want it to fail despite how much positive hype it's generating and how many major named actors have been running to them to get parts in it.
We will say that we appealed the copyright claim and Warner Brothers released it. And we aren’t a big channel by any means. They are one of the better studios that works with reactors from our experience. That’s just our experience though.
It is weird they didn’t shoot both films back to back. Seems like it would mean more to show faith in the movie by already having the sequel lined up 🤔🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The crazy thing is, there's no real reason for the claims in the first place, not just on your video. The responses, reactions and reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and the vast majority of the claims are being done manually as opposed to the usual YT shenanigans of automated striking. So someone at WB is literally going out of their way to punish people for actually looking forward to the movie and basically positively promoting it.
Dune is something I've always wanted to get into but has never really gotten around to. I really like the theme and all that though, it feels so retro but also important in some abstract way. Kind of the same feeling Orwell gives me, not sure why.
It’s odd it never had the commercial success LOTR did considering one is the father of fantasy and Dune the father of Sci Fi. Hopefully this gets people like us who are unfamiliar with it interested in more 😊
i fear that the movie will not do justice to dune, i really hope they make it a long saga and not just this one movie because the story is very rich, it's not possible to squeeze it all in one movie. great reaction, as always!!
there is also the dune game from 1992 and one from 1998 which was also made by westwood, the legendary studio that made C&C (the good ones:)
Supposedly first book is split up into two movies 🤔
The blue eyes is because of the Spice... Arrakis or Dune is the only planet where you find spice, which is needed to enhanced humans for interstellar travel among other things. It is a comodity similar to Oil is today for us. The one who controls spice (or oil) controls everything in the Universe. It is all over, in the air the water etc... of Arrakis (or Dune) and thus it's native people inhale it and eat so much of it that they get those blue eyes (and spoiler alert: enhance the mind). The spice is produced by the sandworms btw.
Thanks for filing us in 😃
Blue eyes = spice saturation. The blue/red difference is the personal shield blocking/opening while fighting. Red is dead.
Thanks! 😃
There has been four attempts to make this movie the one the that died in pre-production by director Alejandro Jodorowsky (that would of stared Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, and Salvador Dali), then there was David Lynch's attempt 1984 movie of Dune with another singer staring that (Sting). At this point we get to the Syfy Channel's attempt at Frank Herbert's Dune (2000), and then Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (2003). The three movie share one thing in common they where all filmed on sound stages. No a funny note Orson Welles was bribed to do the movie by the director/producer getting Mr Welles favorite restaurant's head chef to do the food services. Looking forward to this one.
The Mick Jagger one sounds crazy. Surprised Kubrick never attempted it or was linked to it 🙃
Blue within blue eyes :D That is quite simple and is not a spoiler. Arrakis has spice in the air, in the vegetables, water, and in animals. People who stay too long in Arrakis integrates spice into its system and become addicted even if not consuming directly because of everything in the environment. It expands consciousness, but the blue within blues eyes is a mark you are addicted to and will depend on for the rest of your life. The backside is that withdrawal will kill you. It is not unique to the fremen because people outside Arrakis who consume it regularly end up addicted and have Eyes of Ibad.
Thanks! 😃
Blue eyes are the physical indicator of the addiction to the spice, Melange. The original books describe it as “blue within blue”. The spice comes, and only comes, from the all-desert planet known as Arrakis, or Dune.
Melange is what allows humans to travel through space, it is used in religious orders for various rituals, and grants users long life, but it is highly addictive. Once taken, the user can never stop taking Melange. As Chani hints at in the trailer, Dune’s atmosphere is permeated with spice.
Star Wars was inspired by Dune. The other movies never did the story justice. But if this version does (and seeing the cast and how this director did Sicario, Arrival, and most importantly, Bladerunner 2049, I have the utmost faith that it will), this story might take its rightful place as number one space operas/sci-fi of all time.
😎🤟🤩
Thanks for doing this trailer, you guys are the best. Could u try the titan fall cinematic trailers next time, it is very cool
We do plan to get to that series eventually 😅
Watched the mini series again recently and while a little dated with the CGI its still really good, can't wait to see it with a big budget.
Hopefully they come through 😃
Ken: zero know knowledge
Me: zero knowledge and I didn't know that thus movie or series existed
This is actually like the 3rd or so Dune remake since the original Dune came out in 1984 with David Lynch.
Glad we aren’t alone in having the zero knowledge 😂 Everything we know about this is from comments from our first trailer reaction to Dune 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames and is that one time that I'm not the information about caracters and other stuff😂
Played the Playstation1 / Psx game which was prob loosely based on the original film from 1984 (which I never seen, btw). It was from same folks who made the Command & Conquer series, and it showed. :)
Never realized they had a videogame for this 😯
Your eyes glow blue when you have been exposed to the spice for a measure of time.
😎👍😃
Just wondering do you have a list of recommendations. that i could possibly add to?
We have a long list of recommendations that we always welcome additions 🥳
It wouldn't be so bad, if you read the book after seeing the movie. I do not know for sure, of course, but feel fairly confident in thinking, there will be plenty of book parts remaining which will not appear in a 2 1/2 hour movie.
In 1984, director David Lynch, had over 5 hours of film, wanting to split it into two movies, and he still felt there was more story to tell.
I hope the movie does some justice to the story, but it is a deep tale, with thoroughly well conceived worlds and characters, with themes of ecology, economics, politics, racial justice, and more.
This is only Part 1. It's being developed as two movies. The downside is that from everything I've read and listened to it seems like the making of the second part will be contingent on the success of the first, which is shit. I'm guessing this first movie is going to end when Paul eventually becomes Muad'Dib. This would leave the Fremen/Harkonnen war, Paul becoming the Kwisatz Haderach, Alia's birth and development as a major story character and the eventual conflict with the Emperor as the main story points for the second movie.
Yeah might be good to get to love the characters first snd then dive into the book especially since this first movie only covers half of it (and probably 1/5 of that half 😂)
You two should do a reaction for the last Foundation trailer.
We will try and check it out 😇
Blue eyes means thorough drug addiction. But that's okay because the drug in question is pretty awesome.
😂🥳
Blue eyes mean a side effect (or you can call addiction) of consuming spice.
😎👍😃
The auras are shields. The eyes are prolonged exposure to spice.
Thanks! 😃
I'd like to see you react to the Veritasium video "The Infinite Pattern that Never Repeats."
Damn that sounds unique 😃
Dune was also a massive influence I believe for Warhammer 40K
Makes sense 🙂
In Dune universe computer technology forbidden after machines uprising and Spice is only thing that allow continue space travels - people take it to get ability of navigation in space. Only source of spice is Arrakis so control over it - control over whole logistics in galaxy.
At least someone was smart to get rid of the technology before the technology got rid of us 😃
Yoooooo,I love these videos
🥳🤗🥂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames 😉😁
this is not a trailer, this is the whole movie.... and i would HARD pass on any remake
but n ow the i know DV is directing, it's a must watch for me... he is the director that has impressed me most in the past 5-6 years, prisoners, blade runner, sicaro.... all fantastic, high level shit
But from what we understand Lynch’s 84 version deviated from the book quite a bit. So not sure this is a true remake. Either way the director is definitely very good and should hopefully pull it off 😎🤟
Can you take a look at the Squadron 42 trailer ?
On our list just not sure when we will get to it 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames ok :)
If you want to both know more and be a bit confused watch the 1984 version of the movie.
😂 heard it Lynch didn’t stick too close to books 🤗
If done right, it could be the greatest Sci Fi movie ever.
Yup. Since it inspired all others let’s hope they deliver on it 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames i just came out of the theater ( today is the premiere in most parts of europe ). I’m blown away by this film. If you can, go and see it in an Imax. Thanks for your great reaction video and greetings from Germany.
You guys should do the watch dogs trailers
We’ve done one th-cam.com/video/ZdoybZklRBI/w-d-xo.html and have more on our list 😊
Dune the book came out in 1965, a year before Star Trek and 12 years before Star Wars. Why there is any comparison is beyond me.
Star Trek is kinda soon for inspiration but 12 years is more than enough time to say that Dune inspired Star Wars 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'm 72, I watched Star Trek as new shows, not reruns. And I was 28 for Star Wars, no childhood memories for me to have.
I love your vids
🥳🥳🤗🥰☺️
I think you'll find Paul is not what you think. And you'll soon discover that his journey, his "hero's journey", is not at all what it entails. The blue in blue eyes of Ibad give sight to all that possess them, and give all-seeing sight in some. But this doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. Sometimes ignorance or indeed blindness is bliss. Oh Paul you poor boy...
Good teaser 😃🍿
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames In other words, "Be Careful What You Wish For".
DUNE. Our gift from the demigod Frank Herbert.
😎😁🥳
I am not a Fan of These kind Of Subjects..
But I am Gonna Watch This Movie at any cost Just Because of The Filmmaker Dennis Villeneuve who have Created Masterpieces Like ARRIVAL & SICARIO SERIES....
😎🤟
The spice makes Ur eyes blue if U had it enough so reason Paul has blue eyes is he's been on arrakis for a few years while before he only just arrived. Anyone can get blue eyes if U take enough spice it's just if U live on arrakis too the spice is in the food the sand everywhere and the different colours r shields
😎👍😃
It's a mix if star wars and power rangers what is going on but it's a little interesting
It’s the inspiration for Star Wars and is apparently the Lord of the Rings of Sci Fi. Hopefully they are able to execute it well 🥂
Please take my advice. Do NOT go see this movie. Star Wars was a "kids" version of "Dune". As for the "Power Rangers"...........Not even in the same Universe. "Dune" will "hurt" your brain. Again for your own sake, Take A Pass on "Dune". Play a video game. Or watch one of those "Comic Book" movies, instead. You will thank me later.
You should react to a short film called “SCP-096 short film”
We added that to our list not too long ago. A couple SCP stuff actually 😇
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Oh SCP is awesome. Some seriously spooky stuff there
try "Battle at Big Rock"
Jurassic Park stuff?! Yes please 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames actually Jurassic World, but details ;P
Do venom2 let there be Carnage trailer 2 please
Heard it’s pretty great 😃
Ok. now you are speaking my language! Dune is scifi for adults. its is NOT Star Wars. Dune gave birth to ALL.

Heya! can you please react on some new anime openings? :D would love to see that !!

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames lets hope it's just that, I am still looking forward to seeing it.
Wasn't this a book?
Yup! Bunch of books. And apparently THE Sci Fi book 🤗
Well I think it was. I think it was a series of 6 books. The 1st one called "Dune" being the BEST SELLING SCI-FI BOOK OF ALL TIME. So yes, I think it was a book................
