Dude is a pillar of science fiction, and to see it done this well, especially in a climate of relatively subpar cinema has been nothing less than thrilling to watch.
Book readers will come away satisfied, and even with our nitpicks with the changes they've had to make from turning a large complex novel like Dune into a two hours and 45 minute movie, I was delighted with the tweaks they made. These changes not only helped make the story more coherent to a casual audience, but also highlighted some character motives without having to dive too deep into other plotlines.
For those were just looking to see a well-made piece of cinema, you will not be disappointed. It's a visually stunning, emotionally, gripping, and well crafted cautionary tale on charismatic leaders.
Denis Villeneuve take a bow. This is the kind of movie that comes around once every 20 years or so. 10/10.

Very rarely will a piece of cinema, let alone an episode of television, swing you from all-encompassing sadness, to galvanized with hope, only to tug you back down to despair, let alone in only 24 minutes.
The unbelievable sacrifices, the incredible highs that that you'll feel, it's a stunning testament to what cinema at its best can do, and proves why AOT is not only one of the greatest shows of the last 10 years, but one fo the finest series of all time.
In a word; brilliant. An episode you simply cannot miss.

This is an interesting concept, surely not a genre played out much in Hollywood. The cast is jam packed with all stars giving great (but not their best) performances. The missing piece of the puzzle? Character development.
That's not to say that there is any lack of interesting characters, each of the four horsemen bring a very unique style to the movie (besides Henley, she's rather weak as a character), and the sheer amount of Talent present in each scene guarantees that you'll be entertained.
10/10? Hardly. But definitely a solid 8 for me. Entertaining, fun, and definitely a concept worth exploring on the big screen. Just remember, the closer you look, the less you'll actually see.
