Director: Denis Villeneuve
If there’s one phrase to sum up Dune: Half Two, it’s “jaw-dropping”. Denis Villeneuve and his crew orchestrated a few of the most mesmerising, awe-inducing pictures and sequences ever put collectively within the historical past of the flicks. Large discuss? Positive. However you noticed the movie, yeah? “Jaw-dropping” is the phrase to make use of, all proper.
Dune: Half Two, an epic of epic-ness, is actually heroic movie-making; touchdown in our eyeballs as a triumph of cinematic artwork and craft, with the manufacturing design once more brilliantly mingling acquainted sci-fi parts (spaceships, weapons, costumes) with a real sense of the alien (scale, color, structure). Add to this an all-star forged appearing their socks off, storytelling with the dramatic depth of a Shakespeare play and we must be grateful on this more and more miserable world of limitless multiverse gubbins, blockbusters impressed by toys and emojis, that Dune: Half Two exists, fairly frankly. Sci-fi for grownups – what an idea!
Do you know? Feyd-Rautha’s area struggle, the place he kills three Home Atreides prisoners, was shot on a modified ALEXA digicam made to seize infrared. It gave the scene its otherworldly, eerie high quality.
