- Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2022I gave many five stars to many different movie genres. But when it comes to Masterpieces, Villeneuve has done it again. My first encounter with his work was BLADE RUNNER 2049 and mark my words, you can find the same incredible quality in DUNE. It is majestic, realistic and riveting. It is original, new and unexpected.
I love special effects and interlink stories. I bought 2012, AQUAMAN, TWISTER and I鈥檓 still adding to my collection every new Marvel鈥檚 MCU movies and many others of the same genre for those same reasons and I find them very entertaining. So, that would not be a surprise if I tell that I own the theatrical and extended DUNE versions of David Lynch, but I never been interested to get any further after, no more than I was interested to read the books. Why this one, then ? Simple, I just wanted to see what Villeneuve has done with it. And it was such a marvelous experience.
It is well known that DUNE is an old science fiction, but it is also well known that it gave birth to the following ones, like the Star Wars to name a few. It also has been produced many times in the past in a attempt to reach the level of this last production and, I would say now, without the success of this one. I鈥檓 reaching my 70s, DUNE is a classic of my youth. Villeneuve must have understood the heart of the story for getting out of the path that was taken so far and even if DUNE was considerate as 鈥渢o old鈥 compared to the new science fiction era, he miraculously made it truly believable for this present time. The image is so stunning and breathtaking that I could almost feel the desert sand penetrate my lungs while I was watching, and I do recommend that you are looking at the special features and the work that has been done if only to understand what the desert really is. The performance of the actors brings back an emotional band that was missing in the previous versions of it, and the Fremen were introduced as a vital part of the story from the very beginning in this one, which was also neglected in the past. Even the soundtrack is amazing.
I have to admit that I鈥檓 constantly on a hunt in an attempt to find one of those gems. God, that I love this one!... My only disappointment is that I have now to wait until the end of 2023 to see what happens next.
