Dune is also full of water, it’s just not on the surface anymore.
Did something go wrong during tone mapping? Why is it 1% brightness?
That scene is just very dark because it’s early and they’re between two massive rock walls
That’s actually how that looks? Who did the cinematography a high school student?
Denis Villeneuve, director of Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Arrival and more. Of course seeing this image with no context makes it look worse, but in context it’s stunning and helps evoke exactly the emotions a scene like that should evoke imo.
Do they though? They made it seem like their departure from Caladan was permanent. And Leto I was well aware that being granted control over Arakkis was a trap being laid by the emperor and the Harkonens, even if he did still hold out hope he could outmaneuver it. I doubt they would have left him his nice cozy fiefdom back on Caladan to retreat to if he managed to escape.
They do. The Harkpnnen still own Harko and retreat to it after being stripped of governorship of Arrakis. The Emperor requires that the Governor of Arrakis reside on-site, since its smooth operation is essential to the empire, but the Atreides family still retains and operates Calladan. It’s just the Duke and his immediate household that must relocate.
I see. It’s been awhile since I read the books but that does make sense. I suppose they couldn’t exactly strip his claim over Caladan without just cause without aggravating the other houses, which was kinda the whole point of the Arrakis ploy to begin with.
I doubt the spacing guild would let two political refugees ship an ocean’s worth of water to some random Fremen seitch anyway. Haha
The real trouble isn’t even moving it from one planet to another, it’s moving it from the surface up to orbit in the first place.
Plus “Many, not understanding the prohibitive mass-ratio problem, may even think we’ll bring water from some other planet rich in it.”
Which sounds like a good excuse unless you know what comets are made of
