Where are those computer now? Why would people need spice?
The Butlerian Jihad is arguably one of the most important events that happens in the Dune lore and a foundational aspect of the entire series' worldbuilding but it doesn't really shock me that the movie chose to not get into it. It's not super important to cover the jihad just to start Paul's story, and it would be much better served introducing that bit of lore when getting into the deeper themes introduced in books 3 and 4 when the "Golden Path" becomes a thing. So don't feel too bad about missing out on this bit of backstory, but hopefully your curiosity is piqued enough to read the books, they're easily among the best books I've ever read
I really want to read more books, but I can't find time between other hobbies like fitness and gaming, my 30-35 hour workweek and finishing my master. I want to start reading more when I finish my master this year. Dune will be one of the series that's first on my list. I loved the film and want to know more about the Dune universe
I was the same way but I crushed the whole first Dune this past week. Couldn't put it down. I sat around today reading Dune appendices instead of playing video games lol. It's very, very good. A real page turner unlike other classics like LotR.
It'll probably be more the 3rd movie if they gets made. Though the second would definitely touch on it… the 3rd (second book) is where it becomes very clear.
blade runner 1 is bad, it's really no wonder people didn't flock to see the superior sequel.
I'm dying over here and only just read book last week… can't imagine how the folks who have been waiting for literal years and decades must feel.
Yeah, I think of it as the real ending of the first book. When friends or family start Dune and are enjoying it well enough to finish, I always recommend going right into Messiah, afterward, since it's pretty short. Then, if they want to stop, stop.
I highly recommend it. I put it off for years due to seeing the 1984 film late in life and finding it ridiculous. But I really can't overstate how great the first 2 books are. Currently reading the 3rd...
Cool thanks for the answers! 2. kind makes sense if a hovering vehicle via "holtzman effect" also attracts worms.
Even the book didn't go into too much detail about the logistics of it all, but there was a scene where they rattled off the inventory of spice-mining equipment the Harkonnens left behind, and there were a lot more harvesters than there were carryalls.
Yeah this movie made me once again realize that home cinemas are in some ways better than cinema screens now. This movie was just begging to be watched on OLED and I was often distracted because of it.
They offer 2d screenings in Belgium I saw 2d version. I refuse 3d screenings.
During the first few weeks there were sadly enough no 2D screenings here in the Netherlands. I contacted Pathé (biggest chain of cinemas here) and they told me they were required by the distributor to only show the movie in 3D.
