Dune Part 2

Part 2 really plays like David Lean made a science fiction movie. In every way it’s epic. All of the designs and cinematography are sublime. The performances are all very serious - taking wild plot points and delivering them with gravity, up to and including Rebecca Ferguson chatting with her unborn child telepathically. There’s no real point in mentioning the effects anymore – they’re always exceptional. But these movies never end. I knew how this would be. It’s called Part 2. It’s right in the title. So walking out of the theater in a rush of oxytocin has become less frequent these days. But it has to be commended for no other reason than everybody had to have worked REALLY hard.
