Dune: Part Two
Dune: Part Two
Paul Atreides aligns with Chani and the Fremen, fueled by a desire for retribution against those who dismantled his family. Confronted with a pivotal decision between his profound affection for an individual and the destiny of the universe, he commits to averting a dire future he alone envisions.

(Review for Part 1 & 2)
I feel like Denis Villeneuve is what happens when you take the technicality of Christopher Nolan and add actual style instead of bleak palettes.
As someone who never read the books, it was a bit daunting taking these on tbh. I appreciated how gently these films move you through the intensely thick layer of expository setup, gently ramping it up and up until it really takes off in Part 2. Story wise, it kinda does just feel like “Game of Thrones in Space” but it works, mostly by not letting things sit for too long.
Overall, an engaging, gorgeous piece of filmmaking. Another notch for Villeneuve and his insane eye for shots that make you nut.
