However Dune has a way in punching up some of the biggest aspects of it’s world-building to create moments where you really feel how large a ship or the iconic sand worms are. Lots of movies know how to communicate how big their general world is, and movies like Star Wars literally have planet destroying weapons. Especially as there’s always something else going on that definitely requires your attention.Īnd when you’re not paying attention to the movie’s characters you’re definitely paying attention to something else it’s sheer sense of scale. Still, unless you specifically come looking for her character, you likely won’t miss her too much. Only Zendaya’s Chani feels like a bit of an upset here, as despite being sold right next to Chalamet’s character in all the movie’s promo material, she’s rarely in the actual fil outside of in the form of a vision Paul keeps having. Momoa’s Duncan especially is basically reliant on the character’s natural charm, being a source of levity and casual escape for Paul who (along with the audience honestly) feels trapped in the political and traditional bureaucracy of his family more so than he would like to be. Isaac’s Leto and Momoa’s Duncan are easily standout characters right from the start, being people you genuinely want to root for and admire right from the beginning. And somehow almost all of them bring their A-game as well. Chances are you’ve already seen Zendaya and her character Chani on a lot of the promo material, but move beyond that and you have the always amazing Rebecca Ferguson, Aquaman/Jason Momoa as the loveable and incredible soldier Duncan, Oscar Isaac’s Leto Atriedes, Thanos/Josh Brolin as General Gurney Hallek, Dave Bautista as the fearsome grunt Glossu while Stellan Skarsgard is the main villain Harkonnen and you can basically even forget that actors like Javier Bardem, David Dastmalchian and others are part of this huge cast because really, almost everyone is here. Add in mysterious visions of the future in a time when everything is politically unstable for his family and you have what might seem like a boring coming of age story with space politics thrown in but instead it’s a nuanced and complex tale on race, personal growth and even faith that only gets bolstered by the cast on display. He is incredibly gifted and wise, but burdened by the responsibility of succeeding his father to the throne as well as inheriting the psychic and metaphysical powers of his mother, one of his father’s concubines. It stars Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atriedes, a Prince to a kingdom in a multi-planetary space empire. It’s no easy feat, but thankfully this movie does that part mostly well. It’s adapting a story of six – part sci-fi novel epic, the same novel which was actually the greatest selling sci-fi novel of all time, and also aims to fix and erase the original Dune film released in 1984 and other adaptations that have tried to exist of the source material. Directed by the aforementioned Villeneuve, Dune is a movie that takes on a challenging and numerous amount of tasks all at once.
