Dune: Part Two
Dune: Part Two is a film that has carried so much hype. It has been three years since Dune: Part One was released and the release date for this entry has moved multiple times. The wait at times has been excruciating, especially with the first trailer setting the bar for the hype nine months ago. Somehow, Part Two EXCEEDS the hype. I was not prepared for what was to come when I stepped inside my IMAX theater. Dune: Part Two hits you like a wave on the beach and never stops coming. From about five minutes in the action and intensity bar gets set, and it stays at a fever pitch until the last frame. This was a cinematic experience like no other, and it defined what a scoping epic can be. It's so obvious in both Part One and Two that Denis has such a respect for and an understanding of the source material that make these films better on every rewatch. Tonally, and pacing wise these are two very different films, but blending together as one story I think they gel perfectly. Part Two's runtime did not feel anywhere close to two hours and forty five minutes and I could've done another 3. I was and am ready to watch it all over again. The experience of seeing this movie in theaters for the first time is one that I will never forget, and I will be recommending to everyone I know to see it on the biggest screen possible. 9.57/10
