Dune: Part Two

Watched in 70mm Unforgettable sequences & use of color, character arcs across the board revisited and evolving shoulder to shoulder, and dozens of moving pieces that flow and settle under Villeneuve's writing & direction– it’s insane to me how effectively he's able to weave prophetic visions & religious fervor into one of the most memorable and accessible sci-fi's of the past decade. It already soars from how well the story and characters were set up in Part One, but this is probably my most understood watch yet after already seeing it four times. It's undoubtedly a hefty story, but I fully recognized every concept and intention this time around. In a perfect world, these two films would be best combined as one to give it the full presentation it deserves; I'd encourage anyone to watch them as a double feature like I did this time. I wouldn't say it if I weren't confident, but Villeneuve's Dune is shaping up to potentially be the greatest movie trilogy of all time.
