A nigh perfect return to Herbert’s phenomenal universe, Villeneuve has once again delivered a visual masterpiece and may be one of the most interesting films to come out of recent cinema. I don’t think it’s a perfect film, I have a few problems with it myself but I don’t think they’re particularly important.

The parts omitted from the book seem to have been done for valid reason and everything included shines with the meticulous world building of Herbert and his son.

Zimmers score is once again stunning and the sound design of the entire film is superb, the only thing I could possibly have wished for is more new composition to accompany the journey of the film, however I understand why that may not have been possible.

I can only hope that the quality going forward remains at just as high a standard.
