Dune

absolutely loved it. it was an incredibly immersive experience and it didn’t feel like 2 hours 30 mins at all - i didn’t want it to end! every single shot was extremely captivating and full of intention, and the whole movie was well thought out and carefully crafted, which helped create a beautiful, authentic new world. also the world-building was easy to understand and helped develop the plot slowly so you could follow it.  all the acting was great and i thought it was very well casted - timothée chalamet and rebecca ferguson’s mother-son dynamic was particularly effective and their scenes together were powerful. timothées performance overall was very good, especially the box scene which was very intense.  hans zimmer smashed it once again with the soundtrack, which pretty much made the movie, but also silences were used very effectively in the more powerful and often tense scenes. overall a captivating, entertaining film which was beautiful to watch, and i can’t wait to see part 2 where all the action happens!
