I am a huge fan of the series and have been since the first game so was the most skeptical given Hollywood's track record with video game adaptations, suffice it to say- they nailed it. The game is incredibly narrative driven with long cutscenes and immersive environments that fully envelop you in the story., hence the game has always felt like living through a movie. Which is why I was so skeptical about them "going Holluwood" with such an incredible piece of storytelling. Shot for shot recreations, great casting and the same score composer for the soundtrack as the game. Brilliant. Genuinely excited for this.

Slightly self indulgent just like the target audience it's meant for. A coming of age film that is as underrated as it is elegant. I watched it long time ago when it was released and i've watched it again 12 year later. I finally get it.

Denis Villeneuve manages to envelop the viewer into his vision - completely and unapologetically. The world building is crafted to perfection and the score, my god the score, Hans Zimmer essentially pilots you to Arrakis and just like the shifting unpredictability of the desert sand itself, this motion picture experience takes you on a spiralized journey, especially if you are new to the Dune universe. Watch it. In a theater. You will not regret it.
