I saw Dune: Part Two last night.
Let me get this out of the way: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SEQUEL MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!
I waited a day to review this, because I wanted to formulate my thoughts rather than improvise the review. Because quite frankly, I was speechless leaving the theater.
This movie is a genuine masterpiece. Even if the first Dune hasn’t aged perfectly for me, to the point that I lowered the rating to a 9, this was a clear improvement. Part Two ups the scale, the crafts, the characters, the drama, the story, the action, just about everything is improved from the already impressive predecessor! There were moments that were so well done and crafted that they had my jaw touching the floor! The characters and their struggles are all extremely well done and satisfying. The cinematography, sound design, effects, and editing are flat out perfected. The final battle is my favorite in years.
This movie has to be seen. It just has to. If you have seen the first, see this!
10/10
