Dune: Part Two

It was everything they said it would be and then some! Supreme spectacle with otherworldly intensity. Fan first was an experience I’ll never forget. A film for the ages. Long live the fighters!

This WILL be the best sci-fi movie of the ~~year~~ decade

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Like I said...this is the best science fiction movie I've ever watched. Watched it a few hours ago and I still can't get my mind off of how beautifully crafted this movie is, it's not your regular science fiction movie, it does not resonate with everyone. But Dune part 2 has just reinvented the science fiction genre to a place where you never would've thought. Denis Villeneuve is the best working director in the industry right now. His mastery in worldbuilding is simply a cinematic spectacle, Dune 2 surpasses its predecessor in every way imaginable delivering a deep dive into one of the most beloved stories in fiction ever.

It cannot be stated enough, but this movie is one of the most visually stunning movies I've seen in my lifetime, although it's not as stunning as Blade Runner 2049, it's a close second. The breathtaking cinematography coupled with Hans Zimmer's score captures the grandeur of the world and immerses the viewer into the beautiful world Dune is.

Yet another stacked cast with Timothée Chalamet being the lead, delivers a captivating performance from start to end. The supporting cast including Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson and Austin Buttler is nothing short of a memorable performance.

Dune isn't without it's fair share of nitpicks, I loved all the characters but the female characters in particular felt under-written or under-developed, which seems to be a recurring issue with Denis lately, most the female characters were used for 'Sex Apeal' and lacked depth in exception to Rebecca's character, who was fleshed out really well in both movies. I loved Zendaya's portrayal of Chani, but I wasn't sold on the romance one bit, at times it felt too forced and their chemistry wasn't convincing, once again this isn't an issue in their acting but rather the chemistry was a bit off. I love Hans Zimmer but his score here is probably the most forgettable yet, there is one track that stood out to me but all the others felt like recycled tracks off his other movies.

This is now officially my 3rd favourite movie of all time.

Hans Zimmer is so hot

Too Much Sand: The Sequel

what an amazing experience. Those 3 hours just flew by and it ended with me wanting more

BRING ON THE HOLY WARS!!!!

Director Denis Villeneuve has actually managed to maintain the quality of what I consider to be the almost perfect "Dune" (2021) in this sequel. And I don't even want to start ranking both films; they are clearly on par for me and belong together. While the 2021 film has a stronger beginning, the finale of "Part 2" is much more satisfying. Ultimately, a double feature is worthwhile.

Looking at the second part on its own, my only major criticism is that the opening is a little clunky. In fact, it feels a bit like you're entering the middle of a story (which you are). However, it doesn't take long before you're fully immersed in the world again. This is primarily due to Villeneuve's impeccable sense of style. Whether it's the production design, score, visual effects, costumes, or sound, everything fits together perfectly. I would be very surprised if the film didn't play a major role at the Oscars in 2025.

But the acting is also another highlight. Timothée Chalamet shows once again that he is already a master of his craft. And Zendaya and Javier Bardem are also great in extended roles this time. But the MVP for me is actually Austin Butler, whose Feyd-Rautha is incredibly unsettling.

All in all, "Dune: Part Two" is a complete success. Only viewers who were hoping for a definitive conclusion to the story might be a little disappointed. After all, Frank Herbert's story is far from over. But if the film is successful, which it looks like it will be, then we shouldn't have to wait too long for an adaptation of "Dune Messiah."

This is Cinema. I guess this is what older people were feeling when movies like Star Wars the original trilogy or LOTR were airing. This movie is going to be generational defining and I am glad that I am a fully grown adult with opinions and taste to really see how good this movie is

I just have to say it's a masterpiece.

I am commenting as someone who has read the book. The director continued his adaptation success, as in the first film. Every scene, every detail was compatible with the book and it was a cinematic show. He made you feel the art of cinema to the fullest. It was a satisfying movie and well worth the money. Thank you Denis Villeneuve.
