DUNE: Part Two is not an average sci-fi sequel. It is a rollercoaster that leaves one contemplating the universe, fate and whether the stove is turned off before leaving home. Denis Villeneuve’s masterful direction combined with a screenplay that plays hopscotch with one’s expectations makes this film a unique experience. Sure, some might come in expecting a cool sci-fi movie, but instead, they are handed a mind-bending journey that defies genre conventions.
