Kevin says Dune Part Two ROCKS!
Denis Villeneuve finishes his epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel with DUNE: PART TWO.
The story picks right up from the previous film. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) have fled to the desert to join the nomadic Fremen. There, Paul concentrates his power as a potential messiah while planning to overthrow the evil Harkonnens.
Most of my complaints about the previous film have been improved. There’s greater character development, and the diversity of the different worlds is explored… though it still seems the furniture comes from the same Galactic Ikea, no matter the planet.
Most important, this completes a story that was merely set up three years ago. This is why I despise the trend of two-part adaptations. Sure, it generates more cash, but it results in awkward pacing.
This version of DUNE is epic and has scope, and Villeneuve loosened the reins a bit. Though he doesn’t go gloriously off the rails like David Lynch did in the 80s.
This film manages to capture what was once considered unfilmable. And it mitigates a minefield of triggering topics like conspiracies, religion, terrorism, war, and desert politics.
DUNE: PART TWO gets four sandworms out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
