Dune is a masterpiece.
A masterpiece in filmmaking. The performances are all top notch. Denis Villeneuve pulled of the impossible, he adapted an "unadaptable" story, weil the first half of the book, because this is just Part One.
As someone who didnt read the novels or watched the infamous Lynch movie, all I knew was that Dune is the "LotR of SciFi" and it blew me away. I cant say how faithful of an adaptation it is but what I can say with confidence, for movies like this cinema excists. And it should be watched on the bigscreen.
Hans Zimmers soundtrack just hammers you into your seat and just like the movie it can be a little pretentious at times but it has every right to be that.
Some if not most of the shots in this film are just breathtaking.
Its a long movie 2 1/2 hours and for such a long movie not that much happened, but thats because Villeneuve takes his time to really explore this world, its characters and sometimes just for really cool shots.
The movie asks for your attention and you really need to give him that. Yes there are Exposition dumps but they fit into the narrative, the movie even pulls of the impossible "show dont tell" trick, a nice example is the "mood" scene.
Long story short, go watch this movie, watch it on the big screen, not only because we want a Part Two but because this Movie is truly a cinematic experience which should be experienced in the cinema, we dont get these kind of movies that often nowadays.
