Dune
“ I said I would not harm them and I shall not. But Arrakis is Arrakis, And the desert takes the weak. My desert. My Arrakis. My dune. 417

Dune is calm and reflective when it needs to be, suspenseful and thrilling when it needs to be. It’s simply beautiful. From the gorgeous stunning scenery to the incredible and simply perfect use of sound effects. The dialogue is - as expected - very poetic and thoroughly written. Dune came together perfectly with a clever director and a very talented cast.
The first half does have a little too many scenes of people explaining things, but they’re absolutely necessary considering dune’s expansive and imaginative world. Nonetheless, it doesn’t feel boring or uninteresting thanks to the remarkable class in all aspects of cinematography and storytelling.
Dune is the sci-fi masterpiece we’ve been due for years, now. 583
