Finally! It feels like it's been forever since a decent Sci-Fi movie came out! In many ways, Dune is like Star Wars, mixed with a little bit of Game of Thrones and Avatar and it works!
Chosen dude finds out that he's the chosen one, goes to another planet, sides with the "dangerous natives", granted, it's a bit "been there, done that" but don't be fooled by that because Dune is much stronger in other departments!
Everyone's acting is phenomenal. Seriously, Timothée Chalamet was born for this role and it's nice to see Khal Drogo, i mean Jason Momoa, kick some intergalactic ass! Hans Zimmer did an amazing job again with the music. And those landscapes! I don't think I've ever seen a better looking desert in a movie before!
I like that it's not too much on the funny side, the overall atmosphere is very moody and dangerous and i like that.
I personally thought that there wasn't enough blood during the action scenes, like, many characters get killed but, unlike Game of Thrones, you just see them falling down and that's it. I personally like it better when a movie or TV show is a bit more generous with the tomato sauce but ok, that's just a matter of taste i suppose.
Overall, it's a visual treat with a slightly slow (but never boring) story! Well done!
