Where to Watch Dune: Part Two
- VarunJanuary 26, 2025A truly glorious spectacle. My IMAX theatre usually starts with an ad before the movie that says “Don’t see a movie, be a part of one”, and this accurately fits my experience of Dune 2. THIS IS CINEMA. This movie puts other blockbusters to shame. The visuals are spectacular, with so many picturesque scenes that I could use as a wallpaper and the amazing cinematography gives you a grand scope of the world. The perfect vfx makes the surroundings, vehicles, weapon explosions, Worms, etc. all feel tangible and real. It enhances the tense and energetic action sequences. It’s a no brainer at this point to praise Hans Zimmer, he knocks it out of the park every single time. The score is deep, mystical, invigorating and just BADASS. And the sound design is way too good, it makes perfect use of the IMAX speakers. This is hands down one of the best sci-fi/fantasy worlds you’ll ever experience on the big screen. Spoilers ahead. Timothée Chalamet did a really great job, you can feel his motivations, frustrations, precariousness and ultimately his strong presence as the prophet. Zendaya as Chani provides a great anchor and mirror to Paul but is also very much her own person. Rebecca Ferguson is really captivating in her frightening transformation into the Reverend Mother. Javier Bardem as Stilgar is really good at handling the comedic elements as well as representing the faction of fanaticism amongst the fremen. Austin Butler’s acting blew me away, he is completely unrecognisable as the psychopathic Feyd-Rautha. All the performances were great. The pacing of the story felt unique, it was both slow and fast at many times but I enjoyed every minute of it. However there were a few scenes that felt rushed, with the main one being Paul’s transformation after drinking the Water of Life. I wanted to see more of his visions and why it had a big effect on him, and I also found it weird how Chani takes a drop of the water and then there’s an abrupt cut to Paul waking up, I don’t understand how she helped him. The love story between them was very believable but I wanted to see more of their interactions. There’s way too much information and relationships to be packed into a single movie, but I really believe Denis Villeneuve did his absolute best to render it all into a cohesive and entertaining way and I hope an extended cut will release to smooth out some of the flaws. Paul trying to mount the Worm has to be one of my favourite cinematic sequences of all time, I was almost out of my seat and grinning like an idiot. The final war was crazy and despite its brief length, it still manages to be better than most high budget superhero movies who can’t stop making crap and uninspired action scenes. I was really enthralled by the power politics of the empire, the Bene Gesserit’s schemes, religious faith and rule amongst the fremen, future visions impacting the present moment and so much more. The dessert looks unrelenting and they did a great job depicting the fremen as ferocious survivalists. The Harkonnen black and white world was really cool. I’m really looking forward to Florence Pugh’s character in the future despite her small role. Also Anya Taylor-Joy supremacy continues! Although not a huge variety, the costume designs still go pretty hard in this film and I can’t wait to see what the other houses look like in the sequel. Despite a few flaws, I’m giving this movie a perfect score because it was mind-blowing and I can’t stop praising it enough and y’all need to watch this in IMAX to do justice to Denis Villeneuve’s grand vision.
- benjami71613d agoExcellent conclusion to the trilogy. I watched Dune, Spice World and Dune: Part Two in that order, although the second film does seem oddly disconnected from the other two. The Spice Girls disappearing entirely for the finale was particularly confusing.
- DaeyulBagginsAugust 31, 2026Great cross theme of historical regimes/religion with sci-fi/fantasy. Works really well with an exciting story👍
- james.7341August 21, 2026One of the few films where the second is better than the first
- Fayce MegAugust 19, 2026Master piece
- MeghannBJanuary 31, 2025I feel very fortunate to have seen this in the theater, and if they re-release ahead of the next installment, I will happily go again. Chalamet, Zendaya, Ferguson, and the entire cast captivated my attention the ENTIRE movie. I didn't even want to get up to take a bathroom break. The music combined with the visual effects were so powerful. To me, this evokes the epic movies of the old days. A true Hollywood epic that makes you want to stand in line for hours to be the first to see the next one. I love this movie so much. If you haven't seen it, I just don't even know what to say. Please cancel your plans, black out your living room and enter the world of Dune.
- Derek StevensonJuly 27, 2026Great movie so far
- EliranBenIshaiJuly 19, 2026Yes, it's epic. Yes, it's a spectacle. No, it's not good. Since covid we're all starving for those blockbuster movies and it seems that it doesn't take much to dazzle people into thinking that quantity equals quality. Many artistic and directional decisions were baffling to me here. So much of the language was contemporary American English and lacked any wisdom or subtlety it felt like it was written by tiktokers. The Zendaya fatigue long surpassed being just palpable and crossed into morbidly sickening. I truly had enough of her range of 3 expressions. Stilgar (played by Bardem) wasn't the fearless leader from the book, but instead went for playing a drunk homeless dude who mumbles and groans whenever he speaks. Most of the choices between what was removed from the books and added (invented) by the writers convinced me they didn't understand the books at all. And to top it all off, it was far too boring, considering how much from the source material was removed. Even though the 1984 David Lynch adaptation of Dune strays even farther from the original narrative than this version, the spirit and artistic decisions remained true to it. It felt like it belonged in that universe. Lynch, it seems, understood Dune far better than Villeneuve. Far, far better. And, if you can believe it, doesn't feature Zendaya.
- 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.
- chrismoraitisMarch 1, 2025I would rate 10/5 if I could. Movies such as this one are nowadays very rare gems. Goosebumps every time.
- Milan RajooJuly 13, 2026Great visuals amazing soundtrack. 10/10 IMAX experience
- AngusMcNutzFebruary 25, 2025(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.
- Lucas MagretaJuly 21, 2025a amazing movie! a great sequel to the first dune which was amazing and that I love. not the best movie ever but still made me love the dune franchise even more than I did when I watched the first dune movie
- Oren KirchhoffNovember 23, 2025One of the best movies out there right now!
