I've never watched part one but I, 10 minutes ago, randomly got invited to see Dune Part 2 in two hours, so I'm doing my homework.
How’d you like it? I thought it was an awesome film
@@swankscabinet1625 got out of the movie 30 minutes ago, and I have to say, for someone who had adhd and also hadn't seen the first movie, I really enjoyed it. I think that just goes to show how well made the movie is. I think some of the cinematography was fantastic, even just the scene of Timmy's character talking about the futures he sees and the path he sees to go down while moving his hand was really well shot and really captivating. The action scenes as well were very captivating. I have to say, I'm quite shocked about how much I enjoyed it.
BRO SAME I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS UNIVERSE AT ALL
Same 😂
Same same bro....Never watched part 1 but am going to see part 2, so here I am
Here’s a bit of trivia: The Bagpipe player is played by the score composer, Hans Zimmer.
OMG! My Hans! Damn good trivia bro!
Glorious!
Can be found here at 9:19
A bit more trivia: The sound you hear is an electric guitar and not an actual bagpipe!
And there I thought this movie was Hans free!!!! 🤔
I love recaps made by people who are passionate abt the topic. Thank you for this!! Seeing Dune 2 tonight and this is the perfect refresher.
The original David Lynch Dune was pre-internet. I’m a Boomer that saw it at a theater. I could see people not getting it all around me, and i couldn’t blame them.
First I noticed how it's a 27min long video and in this era of doom scrolling, damn... But seriously, didn't realise how the 27mins just flew by. Amazing video!!! Such passion!!! BRUTAL!!!
This is the best recap of Dune Part 1, by far. Knowledgeable, just the right amount of time and info. No silly gimmicks. Thank you.
I’ve read Dune over my entire reading life. Read it first when I was 10. It has changed meaning for me every time. I’ve always learned something new every time.
You could be so far ahead of where you are intellectually if you read some non-fiction instead of re-reading fictional tales.
@@geordiehalma7323and here you are wasting your time commenting this trash
@@willzang3000 I watched the movies!!! :]
@@geordiehalma7323that still makes you a jerk for unnecessarily (and unfairly) criticising something someone really cares for.
@@geordiehalma7323 "the mystery of life isn't a problem to solve but a reality to experience, we must flow with it" as in his experience with the Dune books is just as important as 'getting ahead intellectually' which isn't the the sole purpose of life.
Loved Dune Part 1. But still did not fully grasp a lot of it until this video so thank you. Can't wait to see Part 2
Watch alt shift x’s summary it’s so well explained
My husband had to literally explain stuff as we watched the movie. However, once I fully understood the movie, I loved it so much and I’m excited for part 2.
Alt shift X is an OG. Used to love his game of thrones videos. Will watch his Dune break down thank you.
This is the best MOVIE recap I’ve found so far. If you are going to see Part Two, or you just need help parching out what you saw in Part One, this is the video you need
"Dune" serves as a sci-fi allegory for American imperialism in the Middle East, with the Spice Melange symbolizing oil's pivotal role. Just as the Spice fuels the universe of Dune, oil powers global transportation and communication. Frank Herbert's choice of Arrakis as the setting mirrors Iraq's oil-rich landscape. The power dynamics between the rulers and natives in "Dune" echo the historical struggles in the Middle East. The parallels between "Dune" and real-world events highlight the intertwined relationship between the narrative and Arabic culture.
It was written in 1963-65, but yea
This recap is not only so so helpful, but helps reinforce the scope of the Universe I had forgotten about. Amazing video
Best recap on KZhead, I'll be sharing this with my friend who hasn't watched Part 1 or read the books, before we watch Part 2.
Its online. Your friend should just watch the first one...
@@XSpiegel Nah I don't think he's that into it tbh.
@@silverchairsg then why is he seeing part 2 lol youre gonna deal with his ass asking you questions mid movie
This is the best recap I've ever seen. Most people just drone on and don't think of spoilers and things like you did. Like giving special times to go to and what not. Great job and thank you so much.
As always, an excellent recap Matt. I love Part One, and Dune: Part Two is going to be mind-blowing, especially in IMAX. I cannot wait.
Sadly theres no IMAX in my city :c
We got dbox/seats that move with the movie 😮
@@Frey_64 awwww I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully your experience will still be amazing.
@@Fade_Snipes-_- Same! I had to get one in IMAX and one with Dolby surround, it's gonna be phenomenal.
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy Part Two!
This recap was so helpful. Much appreciated!
Finally a director got Baron Vladimir right. The dragonfly design of the ornithopters is badass. Shia Hulud is awesome.
Reminded me of Lexx.
Taking inspiration from how insects fly is a super cool design choice. A lot of manmade tech can mimic creatures and biology at times
This has been the BEST explanation of Part 1 that I have run across. Thank you for this!
i could listen to you talk about dune for hours
This is the best Part 1 recap on KZhead. Your passion for the book and films shine through in this video. Thank you for sharing, I will be watching Part 2 in cinema this Saturday.
This was a great recap! Thanks for refreshing what we should know going into part 2!
THE BEST recap!!! I watched so many recaps, and this one was by far the best. I love Matt nerdy style, and his passion, for the story really shows this prepared me for watching the sequel, and really made me want to read the book.
Thank you! Going to see Part 2 today, and this was really helpful.
Loved this recap! Thanks for all the work you and the team put into this!
What an excellent recap/review of both the movie and book. Kudos.
Going to see Part 2 tomorrow, this was a great refresher
This was a super helpful video. Seeing part 2 with friends tomorrow and didn't fully understand what was happening in part 1.
This is the best recap, clear and simplified. Thanks!
You are amazing! Thanks for making this video recap. I watched the movie, but I had so many questions about it. This answers pretty much everything. Now I am ready to watch DUNE Part 2!
You're so passionate, and the funny bits you drop in here and there are hilarious. Thx for the video!
Thankyou soooo much. Needed a recap. Off to see part 2 today by myself as noone else seemed to get the story and got bored. How can you be bored???? I cant wait.!!!!
Great recap! Thanks for not spending half of it talking about yourself. Good job highlighting key concepts and ideas and the small important details. You set us up to be more engaged when we see the new film!
Excellent, informative, entertaining and thorough recap Matt. I've watched the original a half dozen times and I'm very much looking forward to seeing Part 2. I've been listening to Hans Zimmer's amazing soundtrack on Spotify in anticipation of the second movie. What an amazing talent he is. Very much looking forward to seeing the next chapter of this story on the big screen.
This was an unbelievably excellent video. Thank you for putting it together.
What a fabulous summary with wit and humour it was perfect. Thank you

Amazing Explanation! Ty

The best recap on dune 🔥🔥🔥. Thank you so much
Excellent recap, well done! 👌🏽
Brilliant recap, well done!
excellent recap! Thanks!
This was amazing! Thank you!
Great recap! Thank you
Wow very clear explanation of the movie 🎥. Thanks for making this
Bro this was a great explainer I was always intimidated to watch Dune without reading the books. I think i am gonna watch the movie tonight Thank you ♥️
Awesome to hear! But still try to give the book a read!
You can always watch the SyFy mini-series too. It's terrible. Same with the 2003 follow up. Just don't watch that with your sister... 😱
The books are so good!!! I hope you give them a try some time.
Amazing! Thank you for this! Bless ...
Loved this! Thnk you!
Thanks for making this video, now i get it totally
Id just like to really thank you for this amazing straight forward and humorous detailed explanation. I haven’t read the books yet so I was really confused on what was goin on
This was a fantastic recap and I loved the book-dips. Guess it's time to go actually read them now!
Great video brother, well done 👏
An awesome recap, thanks
Watched dune yesterday and I literally missed so many big parts of the story because I was so amazed by how good the movie looked. I didn’t even know they were from different planets and why the different people wanted them killed
I have postponed watching Dune for so long, suddenly I decided to watch part 1, I was quite perplexed when it began but I got thee hang of it. Tomorrow (2 March 2024) I am going to watch Part 2, this explanation was profound and I am very excited. I love the LOTR and this reminds of that trilogy to a lesser extent. Update: I watched Dune Part 2, I was fully thrilled and I'm engulfed in the story line. Thank You
Best recap, thank you
I needed this, as I'm fairly new to the Dune universe. I read the book and saw the 2021 film twice, but I had forgotten plenty.
Excellent recap
Having never read the book, I saw Dune Part 1 in the theater. I needed this recap/explanation so bad. I'm preparing to rewatch Part 1 again and I need all the info up front if I'm to have any hope of enjoying it.
A good recap! thanks
Good review and nice work, i am subscribed.
This was an incredible recap 🤗🤗
