Dune

the rare movie I just couldn’t bring myself to rate after 1 viewing. it’s hard to slap a score on something this dense, this grand in scale, and this fresh and new. and (sadly) as incredible as it was in IMAX, watching films with subtitles will always be my preferred route. especially with something like this, with so many accents, different languages and brand new words. this 2nd viewing really cleared things up for me, and I can now say with certainty this is a masterpiece. a movie only Denis Villeneuve could pull off, and pull it off he did. everything comes together in such a flawless way. the cast, visuals, score, and atmosphere all working in unison to produce one of the most epic stories I’ve seen unfold in close to a decade. it made me pick up a book for the first time since high school. I’m in awe it exists, and eagerly await the return to this universe
