Review
Dune: Part Two surpasses its predecessor in scale and emotional depth, delivering a cinematic landmark. Villeneuve balances intimate character moments (Paul and Chani's romance, Jessica's political machinations) with jaw-dropping set pieces—particularly the black-and-white Harkonnen arena duel and the first sandworm ride. Hans Zimmer's score and the sound design immerse you in Arrakis, while the film's themes of religious manipulation and ecological destiny resonate powerfully. A rare sequel that improves on perfection.
