Following on directly from where part one left off, Dune Part Two once again follows Paul Atreides as he becomes accepted by the Fremen, learns their ways and becomes their leader in an uprising against the emperor and the ruthless Harkonen. But when his actions begin to push away his true love, he has to decide whether to embrace his fate, or follow his heart...
I quite enjoyed part one of this sci fi epic, so going to see this follow up was a no-brainer, despite it knocking on the door of 3 hours. As before it's epic in scale, with amazing visuals and rolling endless desert vistas. The performances were good, and even though the story begins to lean heavily into a somewhat religious style angle, the set pieces and action was still top drawer. The only downside really is I feel this almost 6 hour story could have done with a truly epic finale to really blow the audience away, whereas what we get felt a bit... anticlimactic. Having said that, there is definitely room for more follow ups, so it will be interesting to see where they go from here. Recommended.
