I'm thrilled with this. This guy is turning out to be my favorite director it seems! Loved what he did with Bladerunner 2049, love what he did with Dune as well. I haven't read the books, but you know he did a great job when he inspired me to read them and that doesn't happen often. Even though I liked the old Dune, I wasn't that captivated by it. You can feel how much love is put into this movie! The cast was great, almost perfect, the visuals were stunning. I really like the director's style, his visual eye, this guy can do Sci Fi in an epic way.
The score was interesting, as a musician myself, I'm not a fan of Zimmer generally cause his tracks can sound very generic to me, but this had great moments. Though the folk voice going all epic was overused a bit, still not bad. The movie has captivated my imagination and I'm so happy to see something like this! I hope they make many more movies with this creative team. I'm glad it was financially stronger than Bladerunner which broke my heart that it didn't make enough money being so expensive to make, long and uncompromising in vision.
Overall, this was crazy good for my taste. Damn, I can't wait for the next one!
