Review of Dune

Dune (2021)
10/10
Epic in every sense
29 September 2021
Dune is an instant classic; IMO the greatest sci-fi movie of this century, among the best movies of all time. It does pretty much everything right. It's close to flawless. The visuals will leave you breathless. They are overwhelming in their scope, detail and vivid clarity and I'm not talking about pixel resolution. Dennis simply sees the unimaginable, fictional worlds in distant future with vivid, intricate, multilayered clarity. It's a rare, super special gift he possesses. All of the characters carry mystery, depth, sensibilities, strengths and insecurities and they feel incredibly relatable. You feel them, even in their most surreal circumstances.

Visual effects, spectacular locations, set designs, music score...this movie maxes and crashes through every metric. The story is vast. VAST. 2.5 hours are needed to establish the perimeter of Dune, rough outline of the characters, the hierarchy, the game itself. You're left wanting for more. And wait we will. 10/10 from me.
