<\/strong>Dune: Part Two is the powerful continuation of Denis Villeneuve’s first movie, but bigger, better, and – in some places – a completely jaw-dropping cinematic experience.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The technology here is magic: something to be felt in your soul, not puzzled out in your head.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>This is a real epic and it is exhilarating to find a film-maker thinking as big as this.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Our blockbuster drought is over, thanks to a brilliant sequel set on a sweltering desert planet.<\/p>\n
Another epic helping of sci-fi wildness from Denis Villeneuve that\u2019ll take true believers to paradise \u2014 even if it\u2019s a bit too much Spice to digest in one sitting.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Villeneuve has outdone himself. More importantly, he\u2019s done justice to the scope and scale and sheer weirdness of a stoner-lit touchstone\u2019s back half without, pun intended, sanding away its edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/strong>Heavy with spectacle and theme as it is, Part Two is often surprisingly nimble. As a filmmaker, Villeneuve has long had trouble balancing plot with picture, but here he almost gets the calibration exactly right.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Whatever you do, don\u2019t mistake this follow-up for a sequel. It\u2019s the second half of a saga…<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Another epic helping of sci-fi wildness from Denis Villeneuve that\u2019ll take true believers to paradise \u2014 even if it\u2019s a bit too much Spice to digest in one sitting.<\/p>\n
It may take five and a half hours for his character to truly come to life, but two films in, Chalamet\u2019s evolution as Paul gives everything a centre.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two shatters already sky-high expectations by immersing the viewer in a deeply layered, complex narrative. The film takes a Game of Thrones approach to the brutality, politics, and spiritual machinations of fiery revenge.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Though visually a knock-out, Denis Villeneuve’s second instalment repeatedly sheds momentum, something no 166-minute epic can afford to lose.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>You might expect a big-budget space opera to exhilarate you and move you, and on those terms Villeneuve’s sprawling, pretentious folly has to count as an abject failure. But if you want to feel awestruck, that’s another matter.<\/p>\n
Plagued by a nagging shallowness when it comes to portraying the Fremen… the film has difficulty fully embracing the nuance of Herbert\u2019s anti-imperial and ecologically dystopian text.<\/p>\n
