Jacob Roy Costello’s review published on Letterboxd:
He did it.
This film was perfect, and for damn sure there’s not another thing like it. It’s a beast, soul pounding cinema. With the most sincere respect to the source material, Villeneuve gives a biblically sized epic that feels real, as amazing as the story is thanks to Villeneuve’s direction, Fraser and Zimmer’s work completes it to make this one of the most beautiful and riveting pieces of media ever assembled, must see on the largest screen possible! Can’t wait to be able to see the full epic of parts 1 and 2 together. I’ll save my full opinion for later to not spoil anything.
This film is a major achievement.
