Dune 2 is a phenomenal movie. It is a conquest of cinema in its art, Direction, special effects, music, and more. This adaptation of the second half of Frank Herbert's first book, despite some changes, is masterful. Dune is the mother of them all. Its story was so far ahead of its time and it inspired Star Wars, The Terminator, and many, many other works of modern film and television. It was also socially ahead of its time and still relevant today as it warns of the cult of personality, and the Myth of Deification of Mortals. The acting is stellar. I heard Timothy Chalet was the weakest part, and that is, simply not true. He is much better than in the first and does a great job, subtly, transforming from boy Prince to Messianic soldier. The entire cast is brilliant. The film does a wonderful job picking up where the first one left off. Amazing Cinema. As someone who loved the book and was so disappointed in the past by the versions released this was so satisfying.
