Dune: Part Two is a 2024 epic science fiction and drama film directed by Denis Villeneuve.  It is the second part of the two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel, Dune, written by author Frank Herbert.  The first part is entitled Dune (or Dune: Part One) and was released in 2021.  Dune: Part Two focuses on a vengeful young nobleman who unites the desert people of the planet Arrakis behind his war against the noble house that betrayed and murdered his father.

Dune: Part Two opens in the wake of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard) and House Harkonnen's destruction of Duke Leto Atreides and the House Atreides.  Now, the Baron's nephew, Lord Rabban (Dave Bautista), has control over the desert planet, Arrakis, and over the production of the most valuable substance in the universe, which is known as “Spice.”  A highly-addictive drug, Spice extends human vitality and life and is absolutely necessary for space travel.  Spice is only found on Arrakis.

Meanwhile, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), the son of Leto, and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), who is pregnant, have joined the “Sietch Tabr,” a band of Fremen, the natives of Arrakis.  While some of the Fremen consider Paul and Jessica to be spies, the Sietch Tabr leader, Stilgar (Javier Bardem), believes that they are the prophesied mother and son from the “Outer World” who will bring prosperity to Arrakis.

Jessica belongs to the Bene Gesserit, a powerful sisterhood who wield advance mental and physical abilities.  The Bene Gesserit have a prophecy concerning a “superbeing,” called the  “Kwisatz Haderach,” and Paul may be this superbeing because of the machinations of his mother.  Stilgar believes that Paul is the prophesied Fremen messiah, the “Lisan al-Gaig.”  This belief spread once Paul takes the name Paul Muad'dib Usul.

However, Chani (Zendaya), a young and rebellious Fremen warrior (“Fedaykin”), believes that the messianic prophecies are nothing more than a fabrication meant to manipulate the Fremen.  However, as “the Battle for Arrakis” begins, Chani finds herself having strong feelings for Paul and follows him into battle against the Harkonnen, for better or worse. 

Dune and Dune: Part Two combine to form the third screen adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel.  The others were writer-director David Lynch's 1984 film, Dune, and writer-director John Harrison's 2000 television miniseries, also entitled “Dune.”  Also, there is a French/U.S. documentary film, entitled Jodorowskys Dune, that chronicles director Alejandro Jodorowsky's doomed attempt to adapt the novel into film in the 1970s.

Because HBO is preparing to release its Dune television series, “Dune: Prophecy,” I decided to finally see Dune: Part Two.  A horrible illness forced me to miss the film's theatrical release earlier this year.  Having finally seen it, I wish I had watched it in a movie theater, although IMAX is not an option for me.  Dune: Part Two should be seen on a screen in a movie theater.  It is one of the most epic science fiction films that I have ever experienced.  The production values, cinematography, film editing, production design, art direction and sets, hair and make-up, and costumes are separately some of the best seen in science fiction cinema thus far in the twenty-first century.  Director Denis Villeneuve is more than well-served by these collaborators.

He is also well-served by his co-writers, as the screenplay captures the religious and spiritual dogma and messianic madness that drives much of Dune's narrative.  As impressive as this film is from a storytelling point of view, the Fremen's faith is freaking scary and dominates the film.  That's why I think Hans Zimmer's film score sounds like it belongs in a horror movie.  Quite a bit of Zimmer's musical score is like the spiritual cousin of composer Henry Manfredini's “ch ch ch ah ah ah” sound effect for the 1980 film, Friday the 13th.

There are a number of great performances here.  Austin Butler, who surprised in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis (2022), does killer work in Dune: Part Two as Baron Harkonnen's psychotic nephew, na-Baron Fedy-Rautha.  Dune's make-up artists serve him well as Butler fashions a character that is as impish and devilish as he is relentlessly homicidal.

But the stars are really Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.  As Paul, Chalamet depicts both the manipulation and machinations of a rise to power and also the evolution and revelation of a religious cult leader.  As Chani, Zendaya is the spiritual heart of this film.  She is the center of calm and reason in the super-storm of madness that envelopes Arrakis.  It is not hard to see why both actors are some of the most popular young stars in world cinema.  For all Denis Villeneuve cinematic skills and tricks, a movie this grand needs that traditional tower of power, the movie star.  Dune: Part Two has two shooting stars.
