🚨 There are obviously BIG spoilers ahead for Dune: Part Two! 🚨
This past weekend, Dune: Part Two hit theaters, and it has already become the movie of the year. In a single weekend, the follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's Dune had the biggest opening weekend of the year, making $81.5 million at the US domestic box office.
The sequel picks up where Dune left off, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) learning to live among the Fremen. With Paul growing closer to Chani (Zendaya), and the Harkonnens continually fighting with the Fremen, Paul must decide if he's ready to accept a prophecy and become the person to destroy the Harkonnens and those who betrayed his family, once and for all.
Since reviews for Dune: Part Two started hitting the internet, it's being praised as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. With the film currently holding a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 95%, it also has an average score of 4.6 stars on Letterboxd.
There's literally nothing I can write here that accurately depicts how visually stunning and incredible Dune: Part Two is. As a fan of Frank Herbert's books, I was blown away.
I love how distinct and exceptional the performances are, including Timothée's commanding presence as Paul, Zendaya's masterful work as Chani, and Austin Butler's ruthless and chilling villain performance as Feyd-Rautha — truly everyone is exceptional.
But in particular, Rebecca Ferguson seems to be (FINALLY) having a moment on the internet. From her viral interviews on the Dune: Part Two press tour to her absolutely entrancing and award-worthy performance as Lady Jessica, people cannot get enough.
Like, Rebecca gave my favorite performance in Dune, but she somehow ups it and gives an even more exceptional, jaw-dropping, and, frankly, menacing performance in Dune: Part Two.
