Review by solidsnake1983

DUNE part 1 is a film that ends on such a high note that it almost makes it worse knowing we have to wait over 2 more years to get a sequel.

When I first heard about this film, I was super excited knowing it was Dennis Villeneuve directing. He has put out solid movies in the last decade that all have achieved miraculous and exciting cinema experiences. Every scene and every character is a piece of a larger puzzle as you slowly progress in the film and embark on a journey with our hero Paul, the Savior of house Atreides.

It's very much a slow burn, but a slow burn that is needed to give explanation as to why Paul is the saviour for the people of Arrakis, why he is different from any other human being and what makes him a great leader amongst the fremen.

As I just finished watching my 2nd viewing I felt the film was just as jaw dropping and beautiful as my first viewing in theatres and I can't wait to see what is in store for the future. My only hopes is that Dennis Villeneuve makes it into 3 parts as the books are extensively long and there is so much lore and story to unfold in the world of DUNE.
