Where to Watch Dune
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024The epic scope of director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is so magnificent that 1962’s Lawrence of Arabia and 1977’s Star Wars have company. With its immense vistas of curving sand dunes, two-hundred-miles per hour winds ripping through desert plains, and glowing spice hidden in plain-sight, Dune brings Frank Herbert’s world off the page and into our grasp through the eyes of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet).
- ivanbarramSeptember 20, 2026MASTERPIECE!
- Donald WinzerMarch 30, 2025Almost perfect movie. Great to fall asleep to, even better to watch.
- cherrygrove.January 11, 2026Cool ass sand worms and shit. Watch this.
- joshuacottle30September 18, 2026Pretty good movie great cgi, story & characters.
- TheMovieWallAugust 28, 2026Man I love this movie. From the design of the planets, ships, and technology. It such an amazing case of world building brought to life on screen. So many aspects brought together. Also the costumes and makeup work. Can't forget the score. Really really amazing work by everyone involved in this film. Everyone in this movie gave a great performance. The story line is engaging. So many amazing actors in this film. My favorite scene is when Paul has to put his hand in the pain box. That performance he gave kind of blew me away. Dune part 2 wasn't quite as good as the first but still pretty good. Hoping the last movie hits it out of the park. Dune is such a rewatchable film for me it has a solid place on The Movie Wall.
- Wasiur RahmanOctober 8, 2025Sense of scale in the CGI and the sound of the mega structures sends chills.
- james.7341August 21, 2026Was difficult to get into but towards the end it started getting better and much preferred the second film.
- jackmeatAugust 12, 2025My quick rating - 8.0/10. Finally. I will spare any comparison to the books since that typically makes the movies look poor and I read them when I was like 12 years old, so I don't remember all that much of them in the first place. I say finally, though, because this version of Dune seems to have brought the elements needed for a solid adaptation together. Visually, this flick is absolutely spot on. When the vast majority of your locations need to be a giant desert, it makes it difficult to spruce them up. Yet the way this looks does capture the vast nothingness of the desert which when needed and there is something that makes that insignificant small thing appear huge. And yes, even if you are not a fan, I am sure you are aware that there are giant worms under the ground on this planet, so I won't keep alluding to them. They look astonishingly good, and the attention to detail for their movements and the like was excellent (hopefully you saw this in the theater or have a quality 4K setup at home.) The story itself was a bit difficult to follow right from the onset, which I think could've helped the audience out a bit with a little backstory of the hierarchy of the characters. The main gist is that spice is basically gold, and whoever controls the spice market is at the top of the food chain. So, in order to move up that ladder, certain parts of this story must head to one of the planets where there is this commodity and basically overtake it. There is more to it than that. I am giving a quick idea. In what is clearly just the beginning of the story (it says so at the start, no spoiler), the focus here was a bit more on the characters, which is why I think they skimped a bit since the entire world-building portion is yet to come. Still, the ones that we have been introduced to are portrayed well and give performances that do draw you into what the plight of each truly is. I certainly expect to see Timothée Chalamet around Oscar time as the lead in this. There always have to be some ulterior motives to people, and this flick is no exception. If you are aware, there was a 1984 Dune by David Lynch made that was actually quite good as well, and if you are familiar with his work, it is a bit more "creative" than this one. Lack of a better word for anything Lynch does. And I felt like this version was more of a remake of that film than it was a reimagining of the books themselves. But as I said, I wouldn't be the best judge on the book portion. Overall, this is an exceptional film and one that should be seen by nearly all. There is nothing in here that needs to keep viewers away. Even the action scenes that are so well choreographed don't venture into violence much.
- James SaenzMarch 17, 2026pregaming in honor of the dune: part three trailer. the day the full imax aspect ratio is available on physical or digital is the day i will finally be at peace.
- LD_50August 5, 2026Phenomonal pacing, world-building, and directing. Every actor and actress is firing on all cylinders for this. If I had any critique on anything, it's that the action/fight choreography is not always the best.
- Jay Marie BaileyJuly 16, 2026Visually & acoustically stunning. I've only watched once (along with part 1) and I'm sure I don't fully get it, will watch again at some point along with part 2 and 3
