With “Dune: Part Two,” visionary filmmaker Denis Villeneuve resolves the biggest complaint about his visually sumptuous but incomplete 2021 adaptation of the classic sci-fi epic — mostly. This time, he proffers an honest-to-goodness ending, even if it, too, teases even more chicanery and planetary conflict ahead.
Case in point is a thrilling sequence wherein the story’s protagonist Paul Atreides rides atop sandworms as if he’s parasailing on the desert planet of Arrakis. It’s pure movie magic, an exhilarating rollercoaster ride that fills viewers with child-like wonder and awe and is on par with what movie magician Christopher Nolan conceived with those folding, interacting worlds in “Inception.”
One who does back Paul and believes he’s “Muad’Dib” is Stilgar , a showman himself who has earned the respect and clout of others. The skeptic remains Chani , a fearless Fremen who’s drawn to Paul but reluctant to see him as a savior. She’s suspicious of any outsider given that so many have preyed on their land. It’s one of the themes that resonates most forcefully in this sequel.
