Dune: Part II (2024)

 'Dune: Part II' aka 'Dune 2: More Dune', like it's predisascor is a visual triumph. The cast of characters here expands, people change and get more complex as do their relationships. In the first film I wasn't yet invested in these characters, I feel invested now.

The 'Dune' franchise continues to be perhaps  the most anthropological of science fantasies; at times it seems almost documentary. It has a great story canvas as well as a visual one. Such themes, political intrigue, an insurgency  against an imperial occupier, the manufacture and fulfillment of prophecy. It's all very deep for a blockbuster. Plus that cast. Better then 'Dune:Part I'. See it on as big a screne as possible. ****
