Saw this last night and thought it was pretty good. Didn't see the first movie but I had read the book a few years ago. I have one kind question that may have been answered in the books, but I didn't feel like was fully explained in the move about the emperor. Or maybe I missed it. Why does the emperor go to Arrakis physically like that? Seems incredibly reckless.

Oh yeah, I wasn't paying much attention during that letter scene because I was making fun of how they went to writing everything on a cylinder for some reason instead of a flat surface. In the book the events take place over the course of years right? With the way the movie jumped I couldn't tell how much time was passing. Edit: I guess the pregnancy never finished so it was less than 9 months in the movie. gurragadon fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Mar 6, 2024 |

There would have to be some kind of succession war involving the houses. Some upstart Duke's son taking control of spice production and declaring himself emperor would never just be accepted with no war. All Paul did was trick the emperor to come to Arrakis, which I still think was poorly explained and wouldn't have happened, even if it happens that way in the book as well. I would also think that other houses would use their own nuclear stockpiles and would rather blow the whole society to nothing than listen to the "new emperor." On a side note, the house atomics is such a clear indication that Dune was written during the cold war. They have lasers, shields and spaceships but nuclear weapons are still the ultimate power.
