Does Dune: Part Two Deliver? Avalynn G. Dives In
0The film Dune: Part Two is an action film set in the year 10191. This film is faster paced and creepier than Dune: Part One. I was a little confused during parts of it and found the story hard to follow.
The storyline follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he attempts to learn the ways of the Fremen after the House of Atreides has fallen. Paul receives visions and knows that if he travels south a Holy War will begin. He also knows that the only way to bring people together to overpower the Emperor and the other eight houses is to allow people to believe he is “The One.”
While this film is set in the future, the sword fights and battles scenes remind me of war scenes from the past. Don’t worry; there is plenty of sci-fi throughout the film as well, with the costume design, eerie music and floating characters, such as Baron (Stellan Skarsgard). My favorite part of the film is the developing love story between Paul Atreides and Chani (Zendaya). I am so happy that Chani is a more prominent character in Dune: Part Two than her minimal part in Paul’s visions during Part One. The way Paul Atreides asks for the emperor’s daughter’s hand in marriage has me thinking there is a Dune: Part Three in store for us.
The film’s message is that sometimes you have to sacrifice your wants and needs for the wants and needs of the group. Paul doesn’t want to abandon Chani but he knows that if he travels south toward the fundamentalists, he will have to lead and that will bring trouble between them. He knows he must do it anyway. Note that this film has violent content, gore and is a bit creepy and scary.
I give Dune: Part Two 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. This film releases in theaters March 1, 2024. Avalynn is 10 years old. https://youtu.be/87huQ80nGP0
