Dude, I didn’t know you spoke Yiddish. I don’t. My grandparents did. I only remember a couple words here and there.
Also dune is a 9.98/10 and i do take critism but you're wrong because it was so good and beautiful and calming and well paced and well filmed and the whole cast was pretty except for that scientist friend from Thor and acted so well.

‘This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.’
Crimson Peak (2015)
Based upon the international best-selling novel, a son of a noble family is entrusted with the protection of the most valuable asset and most vital element in the galaxy.
Dune has to be my most anticipated film of this year. I first heard about this film when Denis Villeneuve announced his next project. Before this announcement, I've never heard of Frank Herbert's Dune. After the first trailer drop in the fall of 2020, I decided to pick up one of the books and to see what the hype was about. After reading the first novel I fell in love with the world of Dune, and Villeneuve does the book justice in his adaptation.
Dune is an incredibly dense novel that requires an insane amount of exposition for a film adaptation. Villeneuve has found the right balance for exposition in his film so that non-book readers and readers can both enjoy and understand this film. Furthermore, Villeneuve directing is on point in this film. All of the scenes flow together perfectly and does not waste a single moment in this film. The dialog is well crafted and incredibly intricate, which makes it a treat to listen to.
Dune is also not your typical science fiction story. Instead of focusing on the huge space battles, it instead focuses on the commentaries of religion, philosophy, and politics. This leads to the film having a very different pace. If you are expecting constant big space battles then you are going to be disappointed. This film takes a slow-burn approach to its narrative and it works marvelously with the material.
Furthermore, Dune is the definition of a cinematic experience. Watching this film at home does not do this film any justice. This is a film that has to be watched in a theater. The sounds, the cinematography, the visuals, and the score heavily immerse you into this alien world. The action sequences are spectacular to watch on the big screen and you are missing out if you don't.
The acting in this film is absolutely phenomenal. No one in this film felt miscast in their respective roles. Timothee Chalament is a great Paul Atreides. It was nice to see that Paul being a teenager in this adaptation. Furthermore, all of his relationships in this film are really fleshed out and adds a lot of depth to him. Rebecca Ferguson is a great Lady Jessica. She is both intimidating while also motherly. Oscar Isaac is fantastic as Duke Leto. He perfectly balances the kindness and commanding aspects of Leto. All three of these actors really felt like a family to one another.
Jason Momoa was a standout in this film. He was wonderful as the charismatic Duncan Idaho. Another standout performance was from Stellan Skarsgard. His performance as the Baron Harkonnen was terrifying to watch. You are truly discussed by his character in this film. One thing that I must applaud all of these actors for was their use of body language to convey how a character was feeling. So much of the Dune novel is in internal monologue and these actors have brought to life these monologues through a visual medium without saying a word.
This film is going to sweep nearly all of the technical categories at the Oscars. The cinematography from Greig Fraser is absolutely stunning. He captures the beauty of the world of Dune. The score from Hans Zimmer is unlike anything that I've ever heard before. I believe this is some of Hans Zimmer's best work. The sound design is almost hypnotic at some points. The costume, makeup, and production design are stunning to look at. The visual effects look great. Everything in this film is incredibly immersive and very few films create an ambiance like this one.
I really don't have any complaints about this film. However, I will say that if you are someone who is not familiar with anything about the world of Dune, you are probably going to be a little confused. After watching the film, I highly suggest that you either pick up the book or read some articles about the world, because to say that this world is dense is an understatement. Furthermore, there might have been a scene or two in the novel that should have been added to the film.
Dune is a fantastic movie. The film is immersive, complex, alien, and fascinating. Dune is what the cinema was made for. This film has the potential to be the next Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. So please go out and support this film in a theater, because if we don't then we are not getting a part 2.
I am giving Dune, an A.

Chris Demarais is basically the Gavin Free of STF in that he seemingly put all his brain cells into film and media production and nothing else
