Appreciate the spoiler-free review of Dune: Part 2, Scott. Just saw it myself and was amazed by its world-building details. Denis seemed to be as fascinated with the nooks and crannies of Arrakis and Fremen culture as any of the pomp and circumstance of “blockbuster” entertainment. It made this film feel tangible, grounded in humanity. From Incendies and Arrival through Sicario and Blade Runner: 2049, one can see the seeds of this film. If this movie doesn’t represent Villaneuve’s talents and vision in full bloom, I cannot wait for the next one he has in store for us. It’s not a perfect movie by any means, but I can’t tell you how many times I whooped, hollered, and watched in silence, basking in its sheer visual and aural majesty. Enjoy on the biggest, loudest screen you can find. Now!
