Dune: Part Two

38/125: IMAX 70MM strikes again. It’s just breathtaking. Not much more to say beyond that. A movie could be complete shit and that format would make it impressive. This movie though, I was skeptical. Everyone hyped it up as the greatest sci fi movie series in since LOTR and Star Wars. After watching the first one last night and being pleased but somewhat underwhelmed, my expectations were met and often exceeded during this movie. At times it is slow and confusing and other scenes have you as captivated as you have ever been at a theater. It pains me how much I like Timmy from this performance. He really is a great actor and fucking kills it as Paul Atreides. The thing that always bothers me about Timmy is just how scrawny he is and how punchable his face is. I think this kinda helps him be a better actor though. If Timmy looked like Chris Hemsworth or Ryan Gosling, he wouldn’t be half the actor he is. He is blessed with that scrawny frame. It propels him to stardom. Really excited for the rest of this series. Along with the amazing experience in the theater, the story seems amazing and draws you in so easily. I loved all the parallels to real life. Not a big reader but who knows, maybe this will convince me to even give the book a try.
