Overall Thoughts:

“Dune Part 2” is great. It is a long movie but it is paced incredibly well and there is a great balance between the action scenes and the dramatic moments. The acting is also amazing from everybody and there is a long list of high level actors in this movie.

It is also very well shot with some of the coolest looking shots in recent movies. Although this movie didn’t cost more than $200 million to make it has some very impressive CGI moments.

There aren’t many Oscars this won’t be nominated for. “Dune Part 1” was nominated for 10 and it won 6 of those but what hurt it was that it didn’t take home best picture or best director. Although “Dune Part 2” was released in March it will most likely being the betting favorite in a lot of categories.

“Dune Part 2” is one of the best movies in recent memories and that is reflected by it’s worldwide box office that is nearing $700 million according to Box Office Mojo. It also has glowing reviews across most platforms. There isn’t much more to add to what’s already been said because everything is done so well.

This is a movie that is made better when it is seen on a movie theater screen and not a phone so it would be a good idea to catch it before it leaves theaters. It would be a shame to miss out on “Dune Part 3” when it is eventually released in theaters.
