Dune: Part Two

Surpasses its prequel. Way better than the first one. Well paced and engaging throughout, unlike the 1st which spent too much time on an emotionless introduction. The action set pieces work really well and are exciting to watch. The lore and story continue to be fascinating, with so many interesting elements. It is quite a remarkable feat to take such a unique and original concept and portray it this convincingly. Fully rooting for the leads after this one. Performance wise, Timothee and Rebecca Ferguson are the standouts. Rebecca commands every scene she is in and her character is written with real strength. Zendaya does great in her parts too, though I wanted to see more of her as she spends most of the film reacting to situations rather than driving them. Timothee shows real growth, both in his character and as an actor. The VFX is clean and beautiful. The landscapes, staging and cinematography are next level, and the production design on the indoor shots is outstanding. Seated for Part Three without a doubt.
