Presslie’s review published on Letterboxd:
Dune (4K Ultra HD) - Denis Villeneuve
Dune is a science fiction film based on the novel by Frank Herbert. The film features an ensemble cast including great performances from Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh , Oscar Isaac, Jason Mamoa and Zendaya to name a few. This adaptation is much easier to follow than David Lynch’s Dune (1984) in terms of plot.
Denis Villeneuve brings beautiful stunning visuals to this adaptation of Dune - the cinematography seamlessly compliments many elements throughout the film , it’s visually impressive and immersive. This also features a brilliant score from the maestro Hans Zimmer.
Visually this is a modern Sci-Fi masterpiece I would fully recommend this to anyone who loves Sci-Fi and the Dune universe. One regret from this is that I never caught it in IMAX which would have been an epic experience however I will definitely be aiming to catch the second part in IMAX due to be released later this year however it’s looking like WB have delayed it now until 2024.
