Dune
(2021)

Piece of cinematic art, with the right slowness
High anticipation and low expectations. That was how I felt when the movie started. I read the novel three times, amazed by how the story and the characters evolves into the mindboggling epos. The movie surprises. It felt a lot like watching Space Odysse 2001. Constantly treated with artful cinematics. The story beyond the visuals was decebt as well, though slightly less impressive. Paul surprised, Leto was decent, Duncan was solid but slightly too much Hollywood. The storyline slowly opened up, just like the novel. The greatness of this film is that it deserves its time for watching it.

Waiting for part 2 perfectly fits that feeling. I can highly recommend it to all that read the novel. For those who haven't, no idea how you would perceive this masterpiece.
