MOVIE REVIEW: DUNE

 I finally read this sci-fi novel last year, and I was surprised that I didn’t know it more. It had a lot of similar elements to Star Wars, with Arabic sounding names and desert worms. The pace of the book was very laconic, and I looked forward to seeing the modern movie, even though I hadn’t seen the first one.

Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya were predicable great on screen, and the grandeur of the desert and the interior shots were amazing. I really loved the presence of Oscar Isaac, and Jason Mamoa, but the scene with the Bene Gesserit testing Paul was the most terrifying.

It was an impressive adaptation, and I highly recommend seeing the movie after reading the book! 

Next is Dune Part II. I think we are due for more water, if memory serves!
