The vast sand sea, the fight in the shield field, and the mysterious world of the Freymen and other exciting scenes in the film impressed many viewers. Austin Butler, who played Federosa in "Dune 2", said that he was a huge fan of the first "Dune". Florence Pugh, who played Princess Ileran, was even more impressed. Every frame was beautiful.

It is worth mentioning that the entire film "Dune 2" was shot in a special imax format and was tailor-made for imax by director Denis Villeneuve - the entire film will be presented in a special imax format, providing audiences with up to 26 % of the screen content.
Villeneuve's first collaboration with imax is "Blade Runner 2049". The entire film "Blade Runner 2049" is presented in imax's special format, giving the audience an experience beyond imagination.
In 2021, "Dune" was released. Director Villeneuve used special imax shooting for the first time. More than an hour of content was presented in special imax format. Villeneuve once said, "From the beginning, this movie was made for imax." After the film was released, it became a phenomenal science fiction masterpiece and an "epic legend that must be experienced on imax". With a screen share of about 1%, imax's "Dune" accounted for 23% of the box office in China during its first weekend. , among the top 10 theaters with the highest box office in the country during the opening weekend, 9 were IMAX theaters.
Villeneuve said, "In "Dune" we started to use IMAX special shooting. I liked it very much, so I decided to increase the use of IMAX in "Dune 2" to 100% - the entire film was shot in IMAX special shooting. IMAX is the only It allows the audience to truly experience the planet Arrakis, Jedi Prime and the Empire." "Dune 2" perfectly uses the wide frame of IMAX to not only capture the vast desert landscape, but also present the Jedi Prime (the territory of the Harkonnen family). ) A shocking picture of a huge population gathering together. What is impressive is not only the visual vastness, but also the stunning visual effects created by the director and director of photography through clever use of reference objects and size comparison. For example, using humans as a reference, an ordinary machine in the world of "Dune" is as big as a tank. It is self-evident how terrifying the size of the real "tank" in this world is - it is a kind of machine that does not belong to us. A familiar world, a behemoth far beyond human comprehension.
Nolan, who also loves imax, also praised Villeneuve when talking to him, "I think "Dune 2" is a wonderful work. It is a perfect screen presentation. The size of the imax big screen can Really fills your peripheral vision, makes the screen borders disappear, and you feel like you're in that world. It's a place you've never been in real life, but in the theater, you're suddenly really Participated in the story. IMAX is a dimension of film narrative."
