DUNE: PART TWO exceeded all of my expectations. I came into this universe not having read the books, only knowing of it through pop culture. I made a conscious decision to not read Frank Herbert's original book so I could be surprised when I saw it in theaters. I think it's safe to say that these two films will be ed as some of the greatest adaptations on film. This is an expertly crafted sequel, directed with incredible precision and vision by Denis Villeneuve.

It adds so many more delicious layers to an already rich, complex, and immersive world. This movie had me engaged like a Bene Gesserit holding a gom jabar dart to my neck.

All of the performances are fantastic, but Timothée Chalamet really impressed me and has grown so much as a performer only since the last film. The cinematography, score and sound design are beautiful and each other so tremendously well. I can't wait to see this in IMAX 70mm in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, see it on the BIGGEST FUCKING SCREEN!
