its genuinely perfect. hollow knight but better, cleaner, more aesthetic, just more in everyway. the music is spectacular, and the world is even more so.

i have seen alot of sci-fi, interstellar, gravity, star trek, foundation, lost in space, star wars, the list goes on. somehow i have been captured by the deeply immersive world of dune. the score is emotive, alive, was constantly on the edge of my seat as i captured the beautiful lighting and cinematography. the entire film was filmed in an actual desert, so it feel incredibly real. even the solar eclipse is a real shot in the film. the cast is stacked, literally every character has a brilliant actor playing it, and the director dennis villeneuve did a brilliant job to make sure that they still conformed to the audiences expectations of what the characters should look like/behave like etc. there is incredible depth and humanity in the story of dune 2, and it is incredibly paced, brilliant fight sequences and every wide action shot had me blow away. hear alot of people whining about how the director made certain cuts to character scenes. youll find that those are the exact same people that were complaining about pacing in the first film (which personally i think you have the have the attention span of a gnat to think that film was slow) and will jump on the director the instant the film feels slightly stretched thin with the incredible amount of content that it covers. this film is obviously a masterpiece like its previous part. cant wait to see it feature in the oscars.

Robert B. Weide (born June 20, 1959) is an American screenwriter, producer, and director. He has directed a number of documentaries, and was the principal director and an executive producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm for the show's first five years. His documentaries have focused on four comedians: W.C. Fields, Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, and Woody Allen. His latest documentary, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time (2021), explores the life and works of Kurt Vonnegut. Weide has received an Academy Award nomination and Primetime Emmy Award win for Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth (1999). He also received Emmy Awards for W.C. Fields: Head Up (1986), and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Weide began working with film at an early job inspecting 16mm educational films at the Fullerton Public Library in Orange County, California. In 1978, while taking film production courses at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, Weide decided to produce a documentary film on the Marx Brothers,[1] inspired by his love of their work.[2] Undeterred by repeated rejections of his applications to the USC School of Cinema-Television, he worked on the project on his own time, and with help from Charles H. Joffe got the rights to clips necessary to make the film.[1] The Marx Brothers in a Nutshell was broadcast in 1982 on PBS, and became "one of the highest-rated programs in PBS history."[2] Weide co-wrote W. C. Fields: Straight Up (1986) with Joseph Adamson and Ronald J. Fields. Adamson directed it and Dudley Moore narrated. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Weide said, "“The film is 94 minutes long. We had access to all of his feature films, and clips from 1915 on. We have newsreel footage, outtakes, and material never seen before. We also have interviews with people who knew and/or worked with Fields, or have special knowledge of him, including Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Will Fowler, Madge Kennedy, who played in the 1923 stage production of ‘Poppy’ and co-starred in the movie, Leonard Maltin, Ronald J. Fields, propman Harry Caplan and an audio interview with the grown-up Baby Leroy."[3] Weide wrote and produced the 1996 film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night. With Vonnegut's support, Weide chronicled him on film starting in 1988 and has obtained footage of him from 16mm home movies dating back to 1925. Weide was also working on a film adaptation of The Sirens of Titan until the film rights were sold to another producer. Writing under the pseudonym Wyaduck (a Marx Brothers reference), Weide was a frequent poster to Usenet group alt.books.kurt-vonnegut, where he reported on the progress of the Mother Night project. He was mentioned in Vonnegut's Timequake.[16] In 2001, Weide directed a revival of Vonnegut's play Happy Birthday, Wanda June starring his wife, Linda Bates, as Penelope.[17]
