After the destruction of the House Atreides, its heir (Timothee Chalamet) and his pregnant mother (Rebecca Ferguson) accompany Fremen troops to the Fremen hold where he joins them in their battle against the Harkonnen. Based on the novel by Frank Herbert (previously filmed in 1984) and a sequel to DUNE (2021) and directed by Denis Villenueve (ARRIVAL). I wasn't a big fan of the 2021 installment but I found this entry superior. It's a true epic, spectacular in its visuals and far reaching in its scope. That being said, as good as it is, I found it much ado about nothing. It's like a beautiful coffee table book, an adornment that's pleasing to look at but essentially superficial. As to its narrative, it's bonkers but who goes to movies like this for plot? With Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Christopher Walken, Charlotte Rampling, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Lea Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgard, Anya Taylor Joy and Austin Butler.
