Dune 2021

The film is visually stunning and the music helps to create the mood and atmosphere of each scene, though it is sometimes a bit disturbing too. Timothée Chalamet was born for this role and he really steals the show (I don't know whether he played Hamlet but when I was watching the early scenes with him still on his home planet, I couldn't help thinking how well he would have fit that Shakespearean role), though other characters are interesting too, his mother shows a lot of confidence but also vulnerability. The world-building is quite detailed though without any info dumping and characters explaining things which are obvious to them for the sake of the viewer. The plot is quite dense and the film keeps you on the edge of your seat but at the same time is quite thought-provoking. The only thing I didn't like is that the world of Dune is quite, brutal, depressing and hopeless in comparison to other fantasy or sci-fi universes.
