84 - Dune (2021) Dune is the new introspective visual spectacle of the decade. Direcred by the talented Denis Villenueve, Dune follows Paul (Timothée Chalamet) born with a destiny far beyond his understanding. Visions accumulate, and his world becomes a cosmic struggle between factions for order and power over the desert planet Arrakis. Visually speaking this movie may be the best of any film up to date, and that is not an exaggeration. The Ornithopters, the sandworms, the sand CGI, it's all perfect and expertly done. It almost feels like a James Cameron or Ridley Scott film in it's wide sweeping shots to show off the CGI. This movie is packed full of talented actors such as Oscar Isaac, Jason Mamoa, Timothée Chalamet, Dave Bautista, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin. Stellan Skarsgård and many more. They all provide the sense of gritty, calculating realism that fills this beautifully explored sci-fi world. The plot is complex but always intriguing, with new bits of the world and it's quirks shine with every minute. With the cliché of a prophecy/destiny, this movie handles it in quite a non-cliché way. It's smart with it's subjects, and does the book justice. Many of the mysteries of this movie will hopefully be explained more in Part 2 as well such as Paul's Voice, the sandworms, the Fremen, the properties of Spice. This movie isn't afraid to take it's time and move previous interpretations of action-packed sci-fi flicks to another direction with minimal fight scenes and a larger focus on character and world building. If I had a nickel for every dream sequence where Zendaya looks over her shoulder I'd be a rich man. Certain repetitive aspects like this as well as what I felt to be a lack of expansion on the villains background even for a First Part Movie earn this movie a 9/10. Definitely worth the watch. #movie #movies #film #cinema #dunemovie #dune #frankherbert #timotheechalamet #zendaya #oscarisaac #davebautista #javierbardem #spice #arrakis #scifi #2021 #denisvilleneuve #joshbrolin #stellanskarsgard #rebeccaferguson #fremen #space #spaceship #sand #sandworm #jasonmamoa #dunepart2
