I was completely floored by the scale of this movie. The sound design is absolutely phenomenal as well as the music and the visuals are close to perfect having several similarities to both Arrival (2016) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) whilst simultaneously being in a league of its own. Villeneuve truly is the master of pacing, as proved by his previous films, and Dune is no exception. As expected, all the actors deliver stellar performances, especially Chalamet and Ferguson. This adaptation of Dune stands alone as a masterpiece, completely separate from Frank Herbert's creations. This is most certainly only the beginning.

What an ending!

This whole trilogy has been revolutionary but this movie is beyond great. The juxtaposition of the slasher spirit from the two previous films with the folk-horror of the first hour of this one was incredibly interesting. The acting was phenomenal, (aside from their accents during certain parts but nothing too bad). Madeira as Deena and Olivia Scott Welch as a possessed Sam were especially good and it was so refreshing seeing Gillian Jacobs on the big screen. Leigh Janiak is certainly a force to be reckoned with. Here's to hoping we get more from the "Fear Street"-universe!

Loved it

Truly one of the more heartlfelt movies I've seen in a long time, it left me in tears. Kirby and Waterstone deliver stellar performances and Affleck and Abbott were great. I'm not familiar with Daniel Blumberg's earlier work but I was absolutely floored by the score, it definitely contributed to my love for this film. Loved almost every aspect of it!
