It won't be everybody. But I was hugely satisfied by the end of it.
Visually I don't think there will be a more powerful and striking film this year (and perhaps for many yet to come). There are some of the most absolutely beautiful and haunting images I've seen on screen for decades, which, coupled with perhaps the best soundtrack since the original (because it was so reverential toward it) hits a lot of the beats , both the old and new .You may find this digs deeply into your soul, it certainly did with me .
All those moments (and there were many). The old dog looking out of that broken window,or perhaps when Harrison gets that lesson in pain then, the fight in the broken casino showroom and those shots of spinners drifting over terribly desolate landscapes. Truely more "tears in the rain" than I'd thought they would ever manage to get into a sequel.
And I also really appreciated some of the scripting choices they made with the story. They preserved so much by doing the right thing by the original. But it will shock at times as well.
A truely remarkable piece of work by the standards of its predecessor and by itself. And I cannot think of a better person than Villenve to take on "Dune" after seeing this.
