Last week I saw Dune Part 2 in the biggest theater nearby with a screen about 23*10 metres in size. I have to see the film at least once more in the cinema.
Dune Part 2 is the best film of the last 10 years and one cannot unsee that every category was realised almost perfectly. Compared to Dune Part 1 which is more shakespearean and not a popcorn mass film Dune Part 2 is made for a slightly wider audience. It's not a film for everyone and like Nolan's films it's more for an intellectual audience but it's more accessible than Dune Part 1 which I also found outstanding. Dune Part 2 is a screen adaptation from a book and with every one there need to be some changes and every one of those was right for the film and made it better.
The acting performances in Dune Part 2 were first class throughout. You believe all the characters to be from another world. Fergusen, Bardem and Chalamet were particularly outstanding.
I've never seen scenes and images like those in this film before.These moments burn into your memory. The size of the shots, the epicness and also the close-ups of the faces. The fights were intense and breathtaking from the epic to the hand-to-hand combat.
When it comes to world building there is no one on the level of Denis Villeneuve. He explains the world well with few words and lots of pictures. The world has a great depth and believability. When I read a science fiction book I imagine the environments, cities and spaceships as majestic and epically depicted as in a Denis Villeneuve film. I don't have that feeling with Star Wars or Star Trek. He captures images from the other very well and the moving pictures often have something surreal and dreamlike about them.
The time was used ideally in Dune Part 2. The director made the right decision with the choice of scenes and length. For many, it would certainly have been interesting to see more characters and even longer battles. However, this would not have made the film better. It also shows greatness if you don't include everything that was filmed and can sort out scenes. The only thing which I would have made different are the love scenes. The way it was realised was restrained and more of an adoration. They could have gone more physical.
The film consists of 3 parts. At the beginning, the film is quietly built up. Like for example, the characters and the mythology. At the end comes the finale. You can also watch the film without having seen Dune Part 1. But if you know Dune Part 1 it's even more intense. In fact, both parts should be seen as one film. Knwoing Part 1 makes what's at stake even higher.
I think Oppenheimer is a very good movie. It's one of the few films I've bought as UHD BD disc last year and as someone who watches 5 movies a weak I also say i's the best film of 2023. However, if Dune 2 was at this year's Oscars, Dune 2 would have got the Oscars. Oppenheimer can be happy that Dune was postponed.
