The film *Dune* establishes both a universe and memorable characters on a grand scale, drawing comparisons to something like *Star Wars*. It’s essential viewing for those who enjoy science fiction, movies in general, or impressive visual effects. It’s likely the most visually striking movie released this year. I initially watched it at home through HBO Max, but quickly realized that experiencing it properly needed to be done in a theater! The actors were excellent, and director Denis Villeneuve created an astonishing sense of scope throughout every scene. From its opening moments onward, *Dune* sets up the need for a continuation, thanks to its detailed world-building, performances, and plot threads which leave viewers with questions—the title’s explicit designation as "Part One" reinforces this expectation. I am eager to see what happens next.
