Dune Part Two (2024)
Maybe a bit of a hot pick, but this movie was both captivating and a brilliant continuation from the first of the new Dune series.
Carried heavily by incredible acting and scoring this film lifts you out of our universe and into another whilst still relating to the problems of the modern day.
I have always been a fan since a young age of movie series, such as Star Wars and Lord of The Rings, being able to tell such a broad story line, full of lore and spin-off availability it give you the chance to explore a home away from home and let your imagination grow.
I am also quite partial so controversial endings and plot twists, as someone who is constantly trying to figure out what is coming next or how it will end, even if that leaves slight disappointment it breaks away from the conventional “happy endings” that the movie industry is so often obsessed with.
This also opens the story up to a lot more oppertunity, such as video games or the prequel HBO series, or a continuing saga of movies, giving me the oppertunity to further explore the story surrounding the success of the first two films and I am excited to see more to come from this world.
