    • Dejj cc

      October 19, 2021 at 4:53 pm

      The movie is based on the book which deals with pretty serious themes such as politics, race and power. So I wouldn’t really describe this film as ‘silly’ maybe you didn’t understand it.

      October 21, 2021 at 7:13 am

      Ever where I go online, the opinions on Villeneuve’s Dune are divisive to everyone. Fans of the book must respect those who go in blind. If they considered it silly, then the film probably failed to get stuff across.

    how does the suit recondense the sweat without overheating the wearer?

    • Susannah Arnhart

      October 19, 2021 at 6:24 pm

      For the stilsuits, they use the movement of the body as an engine to pump the process

    • Bercilak

      October 20, 2021 at 12:46 am

      As far as I recall, that isn’t actually addressed in the book.

    I hate how fast Dune left the theaters for James Bond here because I wanted to watch it again.

    And on anything except the biggest screen just won’t cut it.

    Well the year in Dune is 10,000 and change so in the next eight thousand years there will be considerable advancements

    • Awesome Gamer Kid

      October 19, 2021 at 6:36 pm

      Actually it’s 10,191 AG, not AD. The BG/AG system began in about the year 10000 AD, meaning Dune is actually almost 20000 years in the future. 🙂

    • Markus Lechner

      October 19, 2021 at 6:41 pm

      Yes 10.000 AG in the Dune Timeline. But in our Timeline Dune takes place 20.000 years in the future.

      As much as I loved this book back in the day, the stillsuits themselves are going to take a lot more cleverness to address the fact that they’re interfering with the body’s natural evaporative cooling in its collection of waste water. We’re not sweating just for fun.

      You didnt read the Book properly then.
      Its clearly explained that the Sweat evaporates and cools the Body even with the stillsuit on.

    • Bercilak

      October 22, 2021 at 10:44 pm

      @JulesD92 That’s not how physics works. If it evaporates but remains within the system, then the heat it is supposed to carry away transfers back to the suit when it condenses, and the overall amount of heat in the system only continues to increase. You can either lose the heat with the water, or you keep the water and the heat.

    • Invader Haywire

      Technically they do. Its just bigger and more spread out along the suit.

    • x23

      They can’t keep getting new water because it is too rare/expensive

    For some reason i always imagined them like white jumpsuits, but the variant in the movie looks also really cool

    • R G

      October 22, 2021 at 2:40 am

      White makes more sense, it’ll reflect more heat than a darker colour

  31. JDH

    October 21, 2021 at 6:07 am

    The hollywood mindset that star actors (in this and other iterations) have to have their full face visible all the time really kills the immersion for me.

    The idea that Paul would just leave his face, hair and eyes open in every scene is so ridiculous, and I have to imagine these two know it, but were told by people above their paygrade that fans need to see Chalamet’s button nose whenever possible or they’d lose money.

    • Greta Weiss

    So a tree basically wears a stillsuit? Why cant we copy a tree? How exactly do these womders of nature draw liquid all the way up high into their boughs.

  38. Charles Co

    October 23, 2021 at 1:22 am

    So a tree basically wears a stillsuit? Why then, cant we simply copy a tree’s vascular system? Ho do they draw liquid all the way up, high into their boughs.
    Or perhaps its the filtration technology that we just cant quite fabricate? So we would die of septic poisoning. Also it would seem more logical and efficient to transfer the fluids into the body via I.V rather than drink it?

    I do see a stillsuit as possible, just without waste processing functionality. Recycling sweat seems possible. I see a possibility of a shirt that keeps the wearer cool & providing water possible in three years that could make running a marathon through the Mojave possible with one Camelback full of water.

    • Kyle Bear

      October 27, 2021 at 11:08 am

      But to be honest, sweat has too much salt in it. As well as other waste. For real, if you don’t pee waste out, you sweat it out! ????

      October 27, 2021 at 7:18 am

      It’s not a nose-ring it’s enables them to breathe in and out of a filter that make sure that they don’t lose moisture through breathing out

  59. Sam

    October 26, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    I only wish that there was more blacks to be featured in this movie (I would argue that if you don’t agree, your a racist it’s as simple as that).

    Loved this movie

  61. Rikki Watson

    How would you expel human body heat? The only effective way would be powered venting but then how would the skin breathe?

    • theBG2016

      October 27, 2021 at 10:08 pm

      in the book you sweat normally and the suit wicks the heat away and collects the water, they describe being inside a stillsuit to feel like a light moist breeze is running over your body

  62. D J

    October 27, 2021 at 9:12 pm

    I mean the idea is similar to what astronauts are doing where they recycle moisture in everything

  63. Remy Azhary Yosef

    October 27, 2021 at 11:09 pm

    Singapore is already recycling water and desalinate seawater for drinking.

  64. john wiza

    October 27, 2021 at 11:10 pm

    You don’t need a stillsuit to drink urine. All you need I a few dozen Mason jars and a shelf to let it age like fine wine. ????
