CharlieBabbitt’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Power over Spice is power over all."
Overflowing with emotion, intellect and ambition, 'Dune: Part Two' delivers at heights few films have ever truly reached. Denis Villeneuve transforms Frank Herbert’s ideas into an unbelievably extraordinary film. Not only does it offer a grand spectacle with impressive action and awe-inspiring (soon to be iconic) visuals but also delves further into themes of colonialism, political domination, the struggle for natural resources, the exploitation of culture and the manipulation of religion. The experience of watching these films is virtually transcendental (what Villeneuve achieves with both is something most filmmakers could only dream of). It's been a while since there has been a film, or rather a series of films, that has been this committed to its distinct vision, bold storytelling, and beautiful visuals. 'Dune: Part Two' has proven to be undeniably exceptional in every aspect and showcases a sensational return to cerebral, challenging, and ionate blockbuster filmmaking. This was truly unforgettable.
Now, give us 'Dune: Messiah'.
