It is safe to say that Dune 2 was the movie of the year. Last week I watched the thrilling cinematic film Dune 2, streaming on Netflix. In the movie, the protagonist Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against those who destroyed his family. Paul Atreides is constantly facing the impossible choice between his true love and the weight of the fate of the universe. Throughout the movie, he must prevent a future that he can foresee.

Dune 2 focuses a lot on cinematography, so I'd highly recommend movies like Dune and Dune 2 if you are into high quality cinematography.

Dune 2 is a jewel of a movie, I'd say one of the best visually appealing movies out there. You won't understand Dune 2 if you don’t watch Dune. It's a bit ironic, but once I got the gist of the movie, it was pretty pleasing to watch. The plot was good, I'd say a 9/10. The only thing stopping it from being a 10 is that Dune 2 ended on a cliffhanger, but maybe that's what makes it special.

Overall I'd give this movie a reasonable rating of 8.5/10. This movie provided a fair amount of visuals and a plot that hooks you into what’s next.
