MOVIE REVIEW: Dune 2 (A-)

What an ensemble! It is rare to see a film in which there is little to no drop-off in talent from scene to scene. The film was confident and took a bold stance in tone. The color was top notch and the sound design was so well done you could feel every grain of sand. 

The movie picks up right where the first ended which I liked "Let go no wasting time" We get a deep dive into the Fremen life and culture all whilst a revenge plot is brewing. It gave Star Wars vibes mixed with Avatar to create a unique rich blend of engaging cinema.

Timothee Chalamet is compelling to watch alongside the incomparable Zendaya, they had an energy on-screen that drew me in.  I will say I felt their relationship was a bit fast-tracked or rushed it didn't bloom naturally to me.  But they did well with it.  The action in the movie hard hard-hitting,  nothing spectacular but they didn't do the ball. 
The hand-to-hand fights were my favorite. And Austin Butler...stole every scene he was in. his presence was lasting, and definitely my favorite of this film. Overall great film a few open-ended questions like how do you dismount a worm lol but go check it out. In IMAX
