Dune: Part Two
After collecting my thoughts and processing what i have just watched, I’ve come to the conclusion that Denis Villenueve’s “Dune: Part Two” is nothing short of a masterpiece in all aspects of filmmaking. Watching this movie on release day in IMAX will go down as one of the best movie watching experiences in my life. This movie has it all, it is filled with exciting and creative fight scenes paired with a beautiful and striking score that will give you chills that travel throughout your whole body and will have you sitting up at the edge of your seat filled with anticipation. The cinematography, CGI and Color grading is out of this world. Seriously hats off to Greig Fraser and the team behind the cinematography of Dune 2 as this is the most visually appealing movie i have had the pleasure of watching. The shots in this movie are a sight to see, the camera angles, the lighting and framing of it all is just perfect. This movie will set the standard for generations of movies to come. Film classes will study how this movie was made for years. Although I was not sad at all throughout this movie I shed tears multiple times. The moments with Paul and the firemen were so powerful and the astonishing score just makes it so immersive you start to forget you’re in a theater watching it and not actually a fremen on arrakis preparing to fight for your freedom. This movie is an instant classic and will leave with you all kinds of emotions as you walk out of the theater. So many conflicting feelings about characters and the plot. Paul Atreides character arc is one of the best in all of literature. You go from rooting for him to get revenge against the harkonens and the emperor to watching in terror as he slowly turns into a powerful force to be reckoned with Jessica spreading his prophecy amongst the fremen as he leads them to freedom, or “paradise” as Paul says.
