Movie Review: ‘Dune: Part Two’ sustains the dystopian dream of ‘Part One’

Associated Press  

Three firm thumps into the Arrakis sand is all you need to summon a sandworm in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two.” It’s almost as easy as hailing a cab or calling for the check. Javier Bardem, returning as the Fremen leader Stilgar, alone seems to want to breathe a little laughter into all the fiery red sands and mammoth machinery of “Dune.” “Part Two” primarily follows the rise of Paul Atreides, who, after seeing his father killed and House Atreides routed from the Arrakis capital by House Harkonnen and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, is now living among the Fremen, the desert-dwelling peoples of Arrakis, with his mother Lady Jessica. This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Timothee Chalamet in a scene from “Dune: Part Two.” The myth of Paul is already growing among the Fremen, who call him Muad’Dib. This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Austin Butler, left, and Lea Seydoux in a scene from “Dune: Part Two.” When Villeneuve temporarily switches to Feyd-Rautha’s story and away from Paul and Chani, the film’s richly orchestrated sense of momentum falters.
