Review of Dune (2021) by Kirani100 — 22 Oct 2021
Unbelievable. Just when I said "here it comes, I'm so, sooo ready for the next two hours of-" and it ended. I was awestruck. I sat through two hours of (essentially) the best exposition ever, plus a cataclysm.
It was like watching the first two and a half steps of an epic: Exposition. Inciting Incident. Rising Action. Then having to stand up and stretch my legs for an intermission. It's going to be a long and painful intermission because I was ALREADY PREPARED to sit through another two to three hours of this film, and now I will have to bide my time.
It will be worth it. If this movie was good (and it was GOOD), then the next is going to blow our minds. Stunning visuals, and so faithful to the FEELING of the book that I even experienced something I NEVER thought I would experience again: The initial "oh, that's kind of silly and far-fetched" to the "I'm religiously invested in this world and its rules.
Bless the Maker and His water...". No one can ever deny that Denis Villeneuve is a true-and-true fan of the novel. He was able to recreate even the most intimate nuances that all of us experienced differently when reading the book.
Such an experience. See it in theatres, even if you don't end up loving or liking the film, you won't regret it.
