Sex & Nudity
-
- An intimate scene where a woman is lying on top of a man. Heavy breathing is heard and their sweaty bare shoulders are seen as well as the beginning swell of the woman's breasts. They clearly have just made love together, although nothing graphic is shown.
- A young man and a young woman kiss in a few scenes.
- Two men kiss each other on the lips in a non-suggestive manner.
Violence & Gore
-
- Frequent extended impactful sequences of violence involving several hand-to-hand combat and shootouts. Blood detail can be seen occasionally.
- A soldier has his face repeatedly smashed in with a rock which kills him. Due to this being seen from a distance there is no blood but it's still brutal.
- Frequent sci-fi/action violence throughout. Some of it is shocking with blood.
- Many buildings and ships are blown up.
- Several scenes of intense fighting with guns, explosives and swords.
- A fellow Harkonnen is dragged off screen to be fed to the servants.
- A man viciously slams another man's head against a control panel repeatedly until he falls to the floor motionless. This is unexpected and shocking.
- Large mounds of dead bodies are set on fire by people with flamethrowers in a several scenes.
- Countless soldiers are shot in the head and then fall from a massive height from a cliff. Their bodies slam onto the desert ground in a blunt fashion.
- The scene in the arena is very frightening and sadistic although nothing much graphic is shown. The villain is seen taunting his drugged opponents before killing them. He slashes two of the men's throats while making savage animal noises and then finally taunts the last victim by letting him believe he is winning then stabbing a blade into his stomach. He eerily enjoys his pain embracing him before ripping the dagger out.
- A man's neck is suddenly snapped by Rabban.
- An innocent woman has her neck slashed open by a villain. Blood can be seen gushing out of her throat before she falls to the ground and the another woman is stabbed to death directly after which is brutal but is mostly heard rather than seen.
- A man has a knife stabbed into his neck and then it is viciously pulled out. Pretty graphic.
- The final fight results in countless throats being slashed and people being devoured by the massive worms. Afterward everyone is covered in blood with their blades soaked and dripping.
- A very disturbing scene where a woman kneels on the ground covered in blood shortly after she massacred nine men (not shown) and as punishment she is killed with a flamethrower. The camera cuts away and implies her death but the sadistic mannerisms of the killer is disturbing.
- The film infrequently depicts sadistic violence at the hands of a villainous character. While all of these scenes are disturbing, only one of them is truly graphic and it depicts two innocent women being slaughtered with a blade with accompanying blood gushing and yelping noises before they slump to the ground.
- The violence in this movie is too overwhelming and shocking for kids. The PG-13 rating is to be taken very seriously.
- Two female servants are heard screaming very loudly in another room. A man enters and we see two dead bodies covered in blood and blood splatter patterns all over the walls implying that they were brutally killed.
Profanity
-
- Two uses of shit, plus uses of "piss", "hell", "moron".
- Throughout the film the fremen are referred in a despective way by the harkonnen as "rats"
- One use of the F word.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The fictional "spice" is a powerful hallucinogen. We see multiple characters have visions as a result of interacting with it. Many people use it throughout the story.
- A character is shown smoking a sort of hookah.
- Multiple hallucinogens are consumed throughout including the water of life and spice.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The sandworm testing scene is very intense.
- The film becomes extremely dark towards the end.
- The extremely sadistic villains may make people uncomfortable, frightened or disturbed.
- There is a horror sequence where a woman takes poison and it invades her body. Scary music plays while jump scares flash the screen and demented images go through her mind. The poison can be seen invading her unborn daughter in her stomach and the fetus, too, becomes affected by it. Its eyes turn blue and it awakens being able to talk to its mother in her stomach.
- The scene where The Baron murders two women off screen is very frightening as we hear loud screams and The Baron covered in black slush making his appearance very grotesque.
- The scenes of violence and combat are a lot more brutal and intense than the first movie.
- Feyd Rautha is a very creepy and sadistic villain who kills people who question him without hesitation. It is also implied that he has female servants who are cannibals and eat his slain victims.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A woman seduces a man into sex using mind tricks but sex isn't shown. She gets him into a position where they act sensually with their faces moving close together and tension arising and then later we hear that he impregnated her and she secured the bloodline. The sex isn't shown but heavily implied.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Paul and his mother both take a potion called the water of life which completely changes their way of thinking. After he takes it, Paul starts being really manipulative and tries to convince other people that he is a god-like figure and a messiah.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The ending is very bleak, more so than the book.
- The fight between Paul and Feyd-Rautha in the end, it is very intense.
