It’s been a long three years since Dune hit theaters and the wait for the sequel’s premiere is nearly over. Critics who have seen Dune: Part Two are raving that it’s even more epic than the first installment. The visual effects are jaw-dropping, the world-building is enthralling, and the directing work by Denis Villeneuve sets a new bar for cinematic storytelling. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya‘s chemistry leads the way in this second installment, with franchise newcomers Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and Christopher Walken leaving an impact. Some audiences may be swayed by the 166 minute running time, while others will see this release as a new standard in sci-fi entertainment.
