Pretty cool to be watching something and then realizing halfway through that someday I'll show this to my kids as a pillar of sci-fi like how my dad showed me Star Wars and how my uncle showed me Lord of the Rings. It's that damn good. It's yet another towering achievement in a genre rife with them. Denis improves on an already stellar first outing to bring the latter half of the once-thought un-adaptable novel to the screen in a way that is just triumphant.

To everyone who based Dune as a "white savior" story after Part 1, I'm going to need your apologies to be as loud as your disrespect was. And if you STILL think that it is, work on your media literacy a bit!

Cannot wait to see this again this weekend. And I REALLY cannot wait for Dune: Messiah, either.
