Usually I don't write movie reviews. But I HAD to in this case.
To me, a movie is great when it stays with you long time after watching it. It makes you think the stories and characters. The villains and visuals. Dune (2021) ticks all the boxes of greatness. Everything was just what they were supposed to be. The casts and set design felt perfectly natural, the visuals outstanding. Couldn't differentiate between CGI and practical effects with "real things". And kudos to the director for making a perfectly paced movie that doesn't feel too rushed (like the '84 one) or too slow (Blade Runner 2049). I don't have any idea how two and a half hours passed after the beginning of the first scene.
Can't wait for Part 2 to witness the great conclusion... and believe me, it's going to be on the level of LOTR in term of epicness and enjoyment.
