“Grand” seems to be the operative word on everyone’s mind as they exit the theater after having watched Dune. It is the perfect word to encapsulate this experience. It’s grandeur felt too massive for an IMAX screen at times, yet Villeneuve did a good job at capturing the epic scale that Dune requires. However, the focus on scale comes at a deep cost that Villeneuve failed to account for.
It was not a unique experience that I was hoping for, but this film probably isn't for me anyway.
Yes it is sometimes cheesy and over the top, but for some reason it just works.
I will stop this review before I get a headache again. That will be the second time this film would have given me a headache.
It executes a basic action story-line well and doesn’t falter on anything specifically.
I still can't get into this film. At it's core I have too many issues with the whole film.
It was still a breath of fresh air from a genre that was beaten to death by the same old tropes over and over again.
