Watched this epic sci-fi last night on my laptop. The epicness of the large scale of the movie, the visuals, the storytelling by Denis Villeneuve are on a grand scale. It takes its toll on you, especially if you are watching it as a newcomer having no background information on the original novel, like me.
However, the movie surprised me at most times, with its masterful cinematography, strong background score, and just thrilling action scenes in the desert. Paul and his mother deliver fantastic performances of their career. Oscar Issac is a notable mention as well. Jason Mamoa never fails to charm and Josh Brolin never fails to impress. Can't wait for its
part two.
A must recommend to all Sci-Fi lovers out there, and a strong 9/10 from me. Enjoyed it thoroughly and it gives you time to digest its plot and discover upon it.
