Dune - Part Two

 Last week I finally had some time to watch the highly anticipated 2nd part of Dune Movie in IMAX format which definitely give the best overall experience for this movie adaptation of the legendary Sci-Fi series. I have been looking forward to this sequel part as finally we got to see how the Scion of Atreides gather the necessary power to exact the rightful vengeance upon the House of Harkonnen and the Emperor who are responsible of bringing the downfall of House Atreides.

Overall Dune- Part Two is a very wonderful experience in terms of Audiovisual befitting for an epic Sci-Fi. However when it comes to the storytelling part, It rather lacks consistency for some reason. I would say Dune Novel is not exactly the easiest source material to work with in Movie Format, but there are parts that could have been done well in Dune part two given the amount of budget yet still fell short for some reason.

 In terms of visual, Dune part two had some really good moments like the Harkonnen Gladiator scene and Fremen vs Sardaukar opening scene but fails to capitalize on the momentum. Batista the former WWE Top Card for instance could have used more scene to portray his ferocity as Rabban Harkonnen instead of being a constant jobber throughout the second movie. For some reason I still prefer the actor that played the role of Paul Atreides from the 80s version instead of the current one, perhaps because the latter kinda lack the Gravitas of natural born leader noble prince who had the balance of courage and wisdom despite having the better youthful look. But the biggest letdown for me from Dune - Part Two would be the lack of final showdown between Fremen and Sardaukar in the final battle despite the first movie alrd had some kickass scenes.

I suppose it will take yet another adaptation for Dune series that have the perfect portrayal of one of the most influential western Sci-Fi series. Despite the immense production value, the current version of Dune Movie just lack that special factor to be longlasting like the original Star Wars series. While I am not fully amused with the second part of Dune Movie, I will still give the Part Three movie a watch because the IMAX viewing experience is still something else and hopefully it will fix the glaring issue that Dune - Part Two had.
