Dune: Part Two [Region Free] [Blu-ray]

A sequel to the first remake that has been well worth the wait. The item arrived very quickly, even though I pre-ordered this film. The contents sealed and undamaged. I immediately played the disc and was riveted by the continuing saga. As many will understand, the growing catalogue of films and television series on Blu-Ray, or DVD is an essential act of originality in Film Collectors. Though the idea is to replace Hard Disc copies to digital DL (Download), there will be a lot of customers who will shy away from the forced "Norm" and in their quest to find Hard Copies (originals) will subtract the 38% of those who want tangible products. Just saying. Now, my only goal is to see DUNE Part 3, with my friend, Jessica Barden, having her first major role in an epic science fiction film that will revolutionize cinema.

Good film

Buon prodotto arrivato puntuale

Second part of 'Dune.' Which continues the story on from 2021 film 'Dune.' There's no reprise of that so you would be best to watch it before watching this. Paul and his mother are now firmly esconsed with the Fremen. And Paul leads the fight against the Harkonnens. Which has some in the Fremen believing his is the chosen one in their ancient prophecy. Although one particular Fremen isn't into this at all. A new threat from the Harkonnens arises when a very capable family member comes to the fore. And the Emperor and his daughter get involved as well. All this and a certain order plotting their own plots, means only one will emerge victorious and take humanity into the future. Whatever that might be like. Hard decisions for Paul await.... If you like part one, you'll like this. If you're a purist of the book, then you may or may not. You know what purists are like. I'm one though, and I loved it. It's because it's made by a director who really knows what he's doing. He uses film to it's full extent to make for a memorable movie experience. It helps to have outdoor scenes actually done on location rather than in studio with digital backdrops. It makes the world come alive so well. World building, as it's called, it superb. There are new additions to the cast who are great. In particular Florence Pugh, who makes Princess Irulan a very smart free thinker. And Austin Butler is amazing as Feyd Rautha. Getting the time and chance to do with the role what Sting didn't get. He gets a better costume also. It also does get into some very interesting moral dilemmas, which do give you food for thought, as you consider the choices that face Paul. The sound design is amazing also. Probably even better than Oppenheimer. When I saw this in the cinema my seat rocked. And it hadn't done that so much since the days of Sensurround. Anyone not around in the 70's ask your grandparents about that. This does end at the same point as the book does. Not a spoiler to say it doesn't rain. It is said a film of the next book in the series will be coming. Here's hoping. I think this is as perfect an adaptation of a genre classic as you could possibly get. Nothing is ever going to be entirely like the book, but I think this works. So it's highly recommended. There's no extras scenes or material during or after the end credits. Some bits of the film are subtitled. These can't be turned off. There are some flashing images also, so be aware if those affect you. The dvd has no extras. It goes into the main menu when loaded with no ads or trailers. Those do seem to be a thing of the past for dvds. Language and subtitle options: Languages: English. Castilian Spanish. Subtitles: English. Castilian Spanish. Danish. Finnish. Norwegian. Swedish.

Excellent! A truly stunning piece of work! (Both part 1 AND part 2)!…. I feel sure that in times to come and when Villeneuve’s career is looked back on, these two films will be looked back on as his high point in his career…. It’s difficult to see how they could be bettered, (which is not to detract from his other work, which is (in places) of considerable merit, [looking at you, Bladerunner 2042, amongst others])… I had long thought that a treatment of Dune (cinematically) of this quality (and on this scale), was an impossibility, with both the Lynch version and the Sci Fy channels version having their own flaws and detractions, but THIS version, is quite simply Magnificent! What’s not in the film(s) from Herbert’s books is of no real loss, which, in my opinion, says a lot for both the Director AND the script… Initially, when I saw the reveal for the cast, I instinctively thought that Chalamet looked far to young to play Paul, and yet….. , he ends up delivering a compelling performance worthy of considerable note, making the character his own…. The same can be said of Zendaya’s performance of Chani. Both the cinematography and the direction are superb, to say nothing of the production design. This / these film(s), may very possibly be the best film(s) I have seen in the last twenty years. A magnificent triumph of film making.
