This movie review summarizes Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel Dune. It provides details on the director, producers, cast, which includes Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson. The review praises the film's costumes, visuals, and worldbuilding but criticizes its lack of context and explanation around the story's themes and universe. Specifically, it's suggested the film could have done more to explain the importance of spice and the power and abilities of the Bene Gesserit. While the violence in the novel explores many themes, the reviewer questions how such themes are romanticized in film.

INTRODUCTION Long agoin a galaxy far far awaybefore Star Wars, Mad Max, Tremors, and Game of Thrones.... there was only Dune. Dune contains a depth of worldbuilding that is seldom matched in science fiction. Dune also showcase powerful and influential religious figures in the all female Bene Gesserit witches . Classic myths, with the ledged in the Dune universe, Kwisatz Haderach is an old Chakobsa term that translates to "shortening of the way. Ie. "Folding Space and Time for Space travel. The Kwisatz Haderach must be male. The Bene Gesserit have been carving the way for the mythical figure for centuries through selective breeding-10,000 years of breeding to be precise.
BACKGROUND Dune (titled onscreen as Dune: Part One) is a movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's original novel of the same name. It adapts about the first half of the novel. The movie is epic in scope, this 165-million-dollar celluloid creation offers a spectacular visual experience. Dune is so masterfully shot, that you could watch this movie on mute and still be entertained. The cinematography is Truley Oscar worthy . As a longtime fan of David Lynch's film "Dune" it was inevitable, I would go into Denis Villeneuve's effort ready to find any fault. Lynch's DUNE is a sentimental cinematic treasure to me and I am not willing to give it up. I was pleasantly surprised ! I mean the source material is so fascinating with rich story telling and depth of character development it would be hard for it not to succeed and Dune 2021 does just that.
REVIEW The simplest way I can explain why this movie could be a lot better is that I think what they try show and the parts of the story they go with and the portrayal is all really good but the Context and the Themes of story and why it is really Interesting, Entertaining and Thought Provoking is missing.like the world feels really small, they don't explain why A.I is banned in the world of Dune, why Spice is such a big deal and what it is and what it does, who are the Bene Gesserit sisters are and how much power do they have and what they are capable of and so many other things and I'm not even sure that's the fault of Daniel Villeneuve, I think it's the screenplay that's not that good as far as I understand movies.
POSITIVES COSTUMES & VISUALS COSTUME DESIGNS OH MY GOODNESS! The intimidating and dark figures of Bene Gesserit were absolutely incredible, none of the costumes looked goofy or nonsensical, the navigator league's representatives in melange space suits with blue eyes glowing through were a subtle touch of greatness. Character designs had me gasping for air. Lady Jessica's costumes, baron Harkonnen looking TERRIFYING, his nephew looking exactly like a tool he is...
NEGATIVES The way violence and aggression are emphasized as appropriate conflict resolution is, well, not appropriate to my way of thinking. Someone, somewhere HAS to start depicting non-violent problem solving in film! I know this is not a popular view! But can some filmmaker somewhere please take a stand: lets evolve beyond the reptilian brain and what is now known as the old brain! And yes the novel has violent themes but Herbert explores many themes Im not necessarily discouraging anyone from seeing it but do suggest questioning how violence and cruelty are continually romanticized as a way of narrating selfhood.
