This is probably not everyone's cup of tea but for those who enjoy a different sort of movie, one where you are fully immersed in every bit of a violent airline hijacking, along with all the emotions, all the long pauses to reflect on what is happening, then you will really enjoy this movie.
From a pilot perspective, it's really neat seeing the detail and realism they have cultivated in this film. And the acting is quite good, perhaps one of JGL's best? The soundtrack was pretty good too.
All in all, so many movies follow a fairly scripted sequence and scenes are shot and developed in a somewhat formulaic way. This breaks a lot of those molds and it does so in a pleasing way imo.
Cheers!

Absolutely incredible... there are almost no words to describe this sequel to perhaps the greatest sci-fi movie ever created. Going in to this one, I knew I had to lower my expectations because how could it possibly be on the same level as the first. I was very, very wrong.
From the opening scene, Dennis once again pulls you bodily into the deserts of Arrakis, captivating your senses of sight, of sound, feeling the rumbles from the bass, your sense of anticipation, of a steady buildup of energy, emotion, and awe as the movie progresses, each scene somehow gripping your heart even more than the last. As my friend said - "THIS is sci-fi." So much care and attention to detail. It's like each scene could be portrayed 1000 different ways, the camera angles different, what they focus on, the lighting, the sound, the acting, the dialogue, and 999 of those ways are inferior to what is found throughout Dune 2.
A very rare 10/10 film imo. If this doesn't win best picture, we can finally bury the axe in Hollywood because it has died lmao.
