Film critic David Gonzalez wrote, “Dune: Part Two is Denis Villeneuve’s Empire Strikes Back & Lawrence of Arabia. A sci-fi opera that is not just grand in scale but in its hypnotizing and emotionally devastating story. Austin Butler will be a talking point for many, but its Timothée Chalamet who left my jaw on the floor. Villeneuve’s immersive cinematic nirvana is a sci-fi masterpiece. #DuneMovie.”

“#DunePartTwo is a visually-monumental epic that never fails to immerse in its world. The narrative and its characters still beg for greater depth in this expansive mythos, but the action certainly goes much harder than Part One. Bring on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Messiah!” says Jeff Nelson.

LA Times’ Le Cinéphiles gave it a five-star rating and wrote, “REVIEW: ‘DUNE: PART TWO’ was the perfect way to spend a lonely Valentine’s. I didn’t think about how lonely and alone I was until the movie ended 2 and a half hours later. However, when Timothee and Zendaya kissed, I thought about it again. I miss being touched.”

“#DunePartTwo is one of the greatest war films of all time. Both high art and an absolute blockbuster, it might grant Denis Villeneuve the same massive following as Christopher Nolan. Review embargo lifts next week,” by Grace Randolph.

FilmSpeak’s Griffin Schiller wrote, “#DunePartTwo is not only Denis’s magnum opus; it’s the definitive sci-fi epic of a generation. A tragic tale of blind fanaticism & corruption. A spectacular, soulful, awe-inspiring masterclass of aesthetics & mood beautifully echoing Paul’s turbulent journey. Left me speechless!” His review continued; check it out here:

Next Best Picture’s Matt Negalia added, “DUNE: PART TWO is an astonishing sci-fi epic that surpasses Part One in every single way. Denis Villeneuve has realized his dream of adapting Frank Herbert’s masterwork to the big screen with the depth and scale it deserves in a tour de force we rarely see anymore. Truly in awe of all its craft from top to bottom and the perfect cast who bring these characters to vivid life. Timothée Chalamet gives one of his most captivating performances to date, certainly his darkest. Zendaya is the heart of the movie, while Austin Butler relishes in playing pure psychotic evil. But the scariest performance of all might be Javier Bardem, who perfectly captures the novel’s dangerous message of fundamentalism. Bring on, Messiah!!!”
