The second part of Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious attempt to re-create Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel, this sci-fi/fantasy epic delayed by two years because of the Pandemic and then the Hollywood dual strike, finally comes to the theaters in IMAX and it’s an experience like we’ve never seen before. With Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) uniting with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen to seek revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family, the movie is specially primed to juice up the box office with a much-needed injection of testosterone. 

Denis Villeneuve continues to graph himself on a higher career path than most biggie Hollywood directors, mainly because of his exceptionally exacting vision and superior accomplishments. With this two-part (so far) epic he proves himself as the go-to director for the high-budget epic experience and there’s no two ways about that.
