Dune: Part 2 - Satisfactory
Thoughts On: Dune: Part 2 (2024)
The exiled prince mounts a rebellion.
Whilst the first part of Dune was slow and static, part 2 satisfies much of what the initial part promised, putting together quite successfully numerous plot turns of a pretty momentous level. Dune 2 therefore has an adept arc to its plot that captures in sequences of high drama and visual spectacle the magisterial tone rumoured previously. Manifest in action at long last, this grand drama is helmed quite well by the performances and script, leaving the transformation of our characters palpable at points; especially in conjuncture with the pounding soundtrack. The visuals are more striking and the action far more intense in this latest part; the general experience was certainly IMAX worthy; this doesn't mean I think this is very rewatchable, but that can be left to be seen. In short, Dune 2 was not a disappointment and holds this stretched story up to quite a good degree, leaving me with the feeling that a part three wouldn't be too bad either.
