Dune: Part Two staring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem is a visual masterpiece that will most definitely keep you on the edge of your seats. At first glance Dune: Part Two may seem like just another dystopian film filled with anarchist that run the full gambit consisting of pillage and mayhem. But if you take the time out to look closer; you'll easily find that there is much more to Dune: Part Two than meets the eye. This film starts off with a great semi-covert action scene that has some of the best color grading that has been seen in quite some time on the big screen.  

If you are looking for us to give away spoilers of any kind, you're wasting your time. This film is nothing short of a masterpiece that should be seen and experienced as the Director Denis Villeneuve intend for you to view and experience with your own eyes. With elements of West Asian (Middle Eastern) culture, combined with high tech weapons and epic battle scenes, there's something for sci-fi action fan out there. But there's more. 

 

Dune: Part Two also tackles topics such as politics and blowback, the preverbal "Haves vs. the Have Nots”, and family secrets. Outside of the fantastic costumes and wardrobe selection, the emotions associated with love and sacrifice also come into play. If there were any scenes that stuck out to us, there would be two. The first would be the use of gigantic sandworms for transportation and the black and white gladiator type scene that occurred within the film.  Both scenes were epic and unforgettable. 

We think Dune: Part Two’s Director Denis Villeneuve and Screenwriter Jon Spaihts did a great job at bringing their vision to life for the viewing audience on the “big screen”. If you're asking if there might be a Dune: Part Three on the horizon; our guess is that it's highly possible. We think the title "Dune: Part Three - The Holy War" would be a great title if they decided to make an additional instalment of the film. You can see Dune: Part Two starting tomorrow, March 1, 2024, in several formats worldwide including IMAX at your local movie theater.
