Film critic Jonathan Sim's review of Dune: Part Two, a sci-fi movie starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
Long live the fighters. After over two years of waiting, it’s time for audiences to return to Arrakis in, the latest sci-fi epic from director Denis Villeneuve. This movie adapts the second half of Frank Herbert’s classic novel. It once again stars Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen, getting revenge on the people who destroyed his family. This is one of the most widely anticipated movies of 2024, and for good reason.
Dune: Part Two expertly develops the lore and mythology that was established in the first film. It enriches the characters in ways that we had not seen before, progressing them to new places. Paul’s character has a stronger motivation, drawing him forward in this movie. He is after revenge after his father was killed in the previous movie. Although this is the goal that drives him forward, it does not always feel like the goal that drives the story forward.
The performances Villeneuve pulls from his actors are also quite impressive. Dune: Part Two features a career-best performance from Chalamet, who manages to be a morally ambiguous character that gets you on his side while also performing acts that are not traditional for a typical hero. Zendaya gets much more screen time in this movie, and she is as spectacular as always in this role.
