Dune Marathon

An excellent adaptation of Frank Herbert's masterful novel, Dune tells the story of the battle to control the star known as "Dune."  Will a young prince, who may be the Messiah, salvage "Dune" from its great destitute? With an impressive visual design and a series of dramatic scenes - Villeneuve creates a mesmerizing experience that is, without a doubt, the cinematic event of the year.

In the second part of the adaptation of Herbert's "Dune," director Denis Villeneuve manages to preserve the achievements of the first part, primarily the transformation of the mythological text into cinematic imagery that conveys the emotions and thoughts of the original text. If the first part of the adaptation laid the foundations of the plot, here Villeneuve moves the narrative forward toward its resolution. "The art of cinematic spectacle is alive and rocking in Dune: Part Two, and it’s a blast" (The New York Times).
