Dune: Part Two is a film epic in the classical sense. There’s a mythic heroic protagonist, sweeping vistas, and romance. While this is science fiction, some of the costumes have the qualities of what you might see in a lavish period drama. The plot revolves around an ensemble cast of larger than life characters dealing with world-changing events. The battles and action are elaborate and sometimes massive, all underscored by Hans Zimmer’s sometimes overwhelming score. All of this is captured on a grand, staggering scale by Villeneuve and cinematographer Greig Fraser. You might think you’re watching Lawrence of Arabia mashed with The Greatest Story Ever Told, Spartacus, and Braveheart.
