Review
This is part two of the latest film adaptation of the 1965 novel. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he rises through the Fremen ranks in their conflict against the Harkonnens.
The film carries on my favourite aspects from the first film: Villeneuve's immense landscapes, Hans Zimmer's otherworldly score, and the ambitious world-building. Greig Fraser's cinematography is especially impressive, such as the black-and-white sequence on Giedi Prime. Chalamet's Paul is the highlight role of the film for me; his character development is evident and nuanced. Rebecca Ferguson's compelling Lady Jessica and Javier Bardem's fanatical (and comedic) Stilgar both bring much to support Chalamet's Paul.
Conclusion
A stunning sequel.
