The long-awaited new movie adaptation of Dune his theaters and HBO Max in October, and the reviews are in. The movie stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and Josh Brolin, and is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Arrival).
The film is adapted from Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune, which is one of the most celebrated and influential sci-fi books of all time. It's been adapted twice before--in the '80s by David Lynch, and as a TV miniseries in the early 2000s. While Lynch's film is often praised for its visuals, most fans found it a narrative mess, with far too much crammed into the running time. This is not a problem that Villeneuve's film has--he has only adapted the first half of the novel so far. If this movie is a success, then the cameras will roll on Part 2.
Like all of Warner's movies in 2021, Dune will premiere on HBO Max on the same day it hits theaters. Villeneuve isn't exactly happy about this--but hopefully, he will be pleased by the critical reaction so far. The majority of critics are very positive about the film, praising the movie's amazing visuals and dark, serious tone. There is some criticism that the movie's style overwhelms the plot, and there's no getting away from the fact that it is only half the story. Nevertheless, Dune currently holds 84% on Rotten Tomatoes--so here's what the critics have said about Villeneuve's sci-fi epic.
