Like Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049, this movie needs to be seen on a big screen. I'm not going to get into detail about the film itself (the internet is already full of reviews and commentary on it), but I will say the visuals are amazing and it paces the source material well. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am probably going to see it again at an IMAX.
If you are unfamiliar with the Dune source material, Screen Rant has some good background articles (though I disagree with their review calling the movie "emotionless"). Also, this version of Dune is explicitly part 1 of a larger story, so don't be surprised when it ends abruptly (about halfway through the book). Part 2 of Dune is slated to come out in October 2023.
