Dune: Part Two directed by Denis Villeneuve is a colossal, operatic work that changes the paradigm of modern blockbusters once again. While the first film has successfully set the stage, Part Two crushes it with unparalleled scale and psychological depth.
The movie excellently dismantles the popular "chosen one" stereotype. The evolution of Paul Atreides from a reluctant, mourning exile into a fearsome messiah is depicted through a tragic lens. In Villeneuve's perspective, religious fanaticism is no victory, but rather an unstoppable and ruthless firestorm.
The technical side is absolutely stunning:
The Soundscapes: the powerful and industrial sounds created by Hans Zimmer turn those enormous sandworms into truly primal and divine creatures.
The Contrast in Visuals: Greig Fraser's superb cinematography opposes the intense heat and light of Arrakis and the terrifying, monochrome nightmare of Giedi Prime.
A very rare combination of enormous scale and devastating human drama is achieved here. Dune: Part Two needs to be experienced, and it will leave you shaken with fear of the awesome power of it all.
