EJ Moreno with a video review of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune…
Denis Villeneuve returns with another adaptation of a cult classic ’80s project, and it’s just as hollow as his previous film. Dune is quite stunning to look at but offers barely anything under the surface level.
Is it a problem from the source material, or did Villeneuve make it worse? Join critic EJ Moreno for a review and complete breakdown of Dune. Watch his review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
Dune is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049) and sees Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) leading the cast alongside Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout), Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Dave Bautista (Avengers: Infinity War), Stellan Skarsgard (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Charlotte Rampling (Red Sparrow), Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Javier Bardem (Loving Pablo), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Sex Education), and Chang Chen (The Assassin).
Dune is set for release in the UK on October 21st and the US on October 22nd.
