Dune: Part Two

My parents actually asked me to take them to go see Dune so we had a Dune matinee today! Went with a Dolby showing so we could get the good reclining seats. Parents loved it! They said it didn’t drag for a single scene. It was the first movie my dad had been out to in a long time. This movie is just so fucking good. This films focuses on of the most interesting parts of Dune to me personally, the religious aspects. The power of belief is an incredibly powerful thing. Dune: Part Two does such an incredible job showing the dangers of that power. Stories of messiahs and salvation are just meant to control people. That religious community is what was lacking from the first movie but you can’t really blame it because this is the end of that movie, technically. I was talking with my parents and we all agree a majority of the technical Oscar’s were just won. I hope they can maybe sneak into an acting category or maybe even an adapted screenplay but it’s just too early to tell. Without a doubt an instant Sci-Fi classic and the first movie of 2024 to cement itself as a classic. This is one of those movies people will be watching long after I die. Such a great time at the movies. Dune: Part Two takes my breath away so many times. I’m extremely determined to catch it in 70mm IMAX. I finished Children of Dune last night and let’s just say, there’s a very interesting couple movies a head of the Dune fans.
