Dune

The cinematography and Hans Zimmer music. An experience that should be obtained by all. Those spaceships accompanied with the music will remain for long time in my mind.

Yes books are read but this movie gives a good impression of the worlds created in our minds.

I've just watched this film few hours ago and I'm already looking forward to see the second part.

I've loved especially the visual look of this film and it's of such stunning visual power that literally should be considered as a new standard for every film now on. The photography during the entire film looks amazing even in the most dark frames Greig Fraser managed to keep the scene easily readable and balanced between lights and shadows.

Speaking more of the film itself I think it needs to be watched at least two times... It's a little bit slow in its plot but as audience we have to consider it's just Part One and a back story was needed to make a solid Part Two. And according to that the main character Paul Atreides has been well introduced to the audience, the entire film keeps using his dreams to tell little parts of his back story and to explain the story of the Atreides as well as the Harkonnen and the Fremen.

In conclusion it's a little slow but this choice is supported by the clarity given to the story preparing the audience to Dune Part Two.

Finally speaking of the cast I really got surprised by Timothée Chalamet as its interpretation has been magistral. He managed to give his character life as a person rich of pathos, emotions and with a pure heart, but also ready to make hard choices to live and fight for his idealistics.

I give this film a solid 8/10 just because i think it's a bit too slow, but I've really loved it.

This movie is not only beautiful in every aspect its also unique in the way its filmed whitch makes it unbelievably good.

Before I start, I am not very knowledgeable of Herbert's saga, having read only the first DUNE book when I was a kid.

Denis Villeneuve has really delivered an interesting, character building, and visually spectacular sci fi opus. While he had already proven himself in handling delicate material with Blade Runner 2049, I think Dune strikes an even better balance, partly due to the phenomenal source material, which however poses more challenging tasks to the writers and director due to the inherent political backdrop of the storyline.

Even the stellar cast, which are all very recognizable faces and could take away from the world building of the movie deliver excellent performances, and Timothee Chalamet (of whom I am not always the biggest fan) seems born to play the role of Paul Atreides.

DO NOT listen to predominantly American professional reviewers who accuse the movie to be a slow burner and a slog towards the end: in the last few years the "Marvel pocorn" movies have dominated the big budget landscape and the reviewers are just not used to immersing themselves anymore in an actual story.

This movie is Denis' child's dream and you can definitely feel it. Scenes packed with gorgeous, vast landscapes and monumental architecture. Visually this film is quite breathtaking. The slower pace of the movie definitely won't be suited for everyone but I had no problems with it.

Timothée Chalamet has a bright future ahead.

Now we're going to wait for part two and three I guess.
