Dune: Part Two

2024

★★★★★ Liked

Denis Villeneuve has crafted the Dune IP into perhaps two of the best science fiction films of all time, possibly the greatest sci-fi trilogy ever after Messiah. ”Dune: Part Two” is bombastic, emotional, bleak, and intense. Every frame is pure art, with not a moment feeling wasted. Greig Fraser’s cinematography never fails to amaze me. The rumors are indeed true,  “Dune: Part Two” stands toe-to-toe alongside the LOTR franchise and The Empire Strikes Back. This film delivers a true blockbuster experience from an auteur, treating Frank Herbert’s Dune novels with sincerity and care, a rarity in Hollywood adaptations. Hans Zimmer (and his sweatshop workers) adds to an already immersive experience with the score, shaking the entire auditorium through countless scenes. This film is probably the greatest movie theater experience I've ever had, and I'll be rewatching it multiple times. If you haven't seen the Dune films yet, I recommend you do so ASAP. We’re simply not ready for "DUNE: MESSIAH."

Denis Villeneuve, you man. We’re not worthy.
