Review by Paul Salfen
This is Paul Salfen with your KLAK Movie Minute. In theaters this weekend is Dune: Part Two, the incredible sci-fi epic that well surpasses the first part and achieves on every level. This might be the best sci-fi film we’ve had in many years and will likely be one of the best films of the year. Director Denis Villenueve masterfully guides this second part with exquisite cinematography, a striking score by Hans Zimmer, incredible costumes, groundbreaking effects, and a stellar cast in Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Christopher Walken, Stellan Skarsgard, and so many others. The action ramps up, the story goes deeper, the characters become more fleshed out, and the stakes are raised. Despite a running time of two hours and 45 minutes, it flies by and there isn’t really a unnecessary slab of time in there. It makes you want for the third and final chapter and surprisingly has you thinking you’ll want to see it again right away to see what you might have missed. That’s an achievement in this short attention span world. See it on the biggest screen possible. That’s it for this week. Join me next week and every week for another Movie Minute right here on 97.5 KLAK, AMFM Magazine, and RECRD.
