- A masterclass in filmmaking in every aspect of the art form
- These aspects come together to create a larger than life atmosphere, to the point where you feel the weight and reality of Herbert’s sci-fi future even more so than when reading the novel
- Subtle but poignant shifts in narrative and direction from the novel, which could be groundbreaking in nature given that a third film is likely
- Strong performances all around, but standouts include Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, and Muad'dib himself, Timothée Chalamet
