Yeah, this is one of the greatest movies of all time. It's a visually stunning film with amazing performances, a plot that grabs you and doesn't let go, sequences that are so intense I was clutching my seat for dear life and holding my breath, rich and engaging world-building, and an excellent cast. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Seeing this in IMAX with a packed theater was one of the best moviegoing experiences I've ever had and it's an experience that I will never forget. My God, there is just so much to say about this.

Timothée Chalamet is excellent, and Zendaya and Austin Butler are amazing as well. It wasn't just them; every single performance in this was amazing. I loved how well-done and thought out the plot was. Everything in this movie is satisfying and executed brilliantly. I could write a whole essay on why this is one of the best-looking movies ever made. This is nothing short of a visual spectacle with some of the best visual effects that I've ever seen in a movie. The cinematography is stunning, the sound is cool and the score by Hans Zimmer is absolutely insane. I loved the characters and how everybody has some sort of arc or development, and all of these characters are elevated by amazing acting performances. Everything about this movie is perfect.

This is what it must have felt like when Star Wars and Lord of the Rings were coming out. To see the next big sci-fi franchise unfold is nothing short of magical. The Dune series is everything I love about movies and we need more movies like this. I think it's no secret that cinema is dying and movies aren't exciting anymore, and this movie is proof that movies can indeed be magical and exciting. Denis Villeneuve is truly an amazing director who is as talented as he is ambitious. Adapting one of the most complex books of all time is a daunting task and it's so cool to see him prove that it is possible. If this movie doesn't prove that Denis isn't one of the greatest directors of all time, then I don't know what will.

This is exactly what Nicole Kidman was talking about. We come to the movies for magic, and this film serves as a reminder that movies can still be magical. This is nothing short of a monumental achievement in filmmaking that expands upon the world of the first film so brilliantly and elevates it in of quality and scale. This film is a sensory overload that is perfect in every aspect. It's one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time and it will probably go down in history as one of the greatest films of all time and one of the best book adaptations of all time. I could write a ten-page essay about this film if I wanted to, but I really don't need to because I've said everything that I feel needed to be said. This film is excellent and it easily has my pick for best movie of the year and I'll honestly be surprised if anything this year is somehow better than this. This is a masterpiece and I'd HIGHLY recommend seeing it on the biggest screen possible.

Thank you for reading my review. Long live the fighters!
