To take a book as complex and expansive as Dune, and turning it into a trilogy of science fiction cinematic masterpieces, will define the legacy of Dennis Villeneuve. Paul Atreides's quest for revenge erupts into a magnum opus circling around religious fanaticism and their messianic figures and intergalactic politics, culminating in some of the greatest cinematic sequences that you will ever witness. The Cinematography and Sound Design is so insanely good that I fail to remember if any film I have seen in my lifetime can rival this. The VFX is flawless in its execution, and Hans Zimmer's brilliance is once again on full display. So much of the story has been fit into this but tender character moments exist throughout the film. Thundering performances from Rebecca Ferguson, Timothee Chalamet and Javier Bardem. A shame that I was not able to see this on Imax, because Cinema doesn't get visually this spectacular often. Lovers of Cinema and Science Fiction, missing this one in Theaters is a crime.
