DUNE: PART TWO REVIEW
Dune Part 2’s current rating on IMDb is 10/10, not even 9.9, a perfect 10! Hollywood is shocked after the audience experiences Dune Part 2, with viewers claiming to have an orgasmic response. But is it really a perfect 10? Having watched the movie on IMAX, I’ll review the 2-hour 45-minute-long Dune Part 2. Part one, released in 2021, was an outstanding film, but its ending lacked satisfaction. Dune Part 2 has its negatives, but before diving into those, let’s explore the positives.
Watching this movie felt like undergoing eye therapy; we’re not accustomed to such outstanding visuals and colour grading. The combination of visual and practical effects in Part 2 mirrors the success of Part 1, which won six Oscars. Cinematography, sound, editing, and music contribute to Dune Part 2’s Oscar-worthy elements.
Oscar Potential
I can guarantee that next year, Part 2 will win at least 10 Oscars. Such exceptional visuals haven’t been seen in a long time, and it’s imperative to watch Part 1 to truly understand Part 2’s intricate family politics.
Family Politics
Returning to Dune Part 2, a significant amount of time is dedicated to family politics, which may feel slow. Characters deliver dialogues in slow motion, creating a leisurely pace that may resonate with some viewers. Now, let’s talk about the action in the movie.
Action Sequences
Without giving too many spoilers, the movie features memorable action sequences, including a moment with a desert monster that resonates with the world-building in Avatar. The film excels in detailing the world, portraying water scarcity and unique technologies.
Music
The background music, composed by Hans Zimmer, is a standout element. If you enjoyed the Interstellar BGM, you’ll find similarities in Dune’s music, creating a immersive experience.
Cinematography
Cinematography enthusiasts will appreciate the use of different color gradings, including black and white. While some early reviews mention a character that sparks discussion, the film includes a few kissing scenes without nudity.
For cinephiles seeking an experiential rather than purely entertaining movie, Dune Part 2 is a must-watch on the big screen. I am surprised that the movie’s budget of 190 million dollars will likely be recouped within the first weekend. Go watch it; it’s a fantastic cinematic experience.
Remember, watch it for the experience; entertainment takes a back seat.
