The world of Dune is so mesmerizing… Having been a stranger to that universe altogether, Denis Villeneuve has done a remarkable job presenting this film, wrapping up every aspect of it quite well for the audience.
(Here’s the official synopsis of the film: Paul Atreides arrives on Arrakis after his father accepts the stewardship of the dangerous planet. However, chaos ensues after a betrayal as forces clash to control melange, a precious resource.)
There’s more to appreciate about this film than to focus on any of its flaws… The cinematography and the sound, both of those elements are some of the best I’ve come across while watching a film, and with Dune, its cinematography is simply perfect, and that score by Hans Zimmer is just the best, no two ways about it.
It’s a power-packed cast, with all these huge names appearing on the screen, delivering brilliant performances… Oscar Isaac’s role was top-notch amongst all, and being the central character in the film, Timothee Chalamet has performed his role fantastically, with all the ups and downs, every emotion that his character is facing, shown quite beautifully on the screen.
Yes, there are future parts to this universe, but does that take away from how amazing Dune Part 1 is, absolutely not… The film has the capability to stand out on its own and it does too. While I cannot wait for that Part 2 to release soon and to know more about what more does this universe hold… I’m back to listening to those Hans Zimmer tracks.
