Epic sci-fi drama starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. With the evil Harkonnen family back in charge of Arrakis, deposed heir Paul Atreides and his mother have taken refuge with the native Fremen in the planet's perilous desert wasteland. Paul becomes close with Fremen warrior Chani and begins to demonstrate powers that persuade her people to aid in the young man's plan to avenge his father and take back control.

Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Jeremy Aspinall
The second part of director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's landmark sci-fi novel is simply awe-inspiring. It begins with Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), hiding out in the desert of Arrakis. The spice-rich planet is coveted by their vicious Harkonnen enemies and Christopher Walken's scheming galactic Emperor. The story follows Paul's odyssey from guerrilla fighter to a reluctant messiah plagued by dreams of a destiny that could ignite a holy war. Once again, Chalamet impresses. He shares affecting romantic scenes with warrior Chani (Zendaya), and convinces as a steely leader ready to wreak vengeance on Stellan Skarsgård's brutal Baron. Fresh faces in the cast include Florence Pugh and Léa Seydoux, plus Austin Butler as a formidable new adversary, who's introduced in a mesmerising monochrome sequence. As with the Oscar-winning first instalment, Villeneuve shows mastery of scale and scope, with stunning cinematography and a thumping score from Hans Zimmer - the film won Oscars for its sound design and visual effects. Among its many stirring action scenes is the awesome sight of Paul wrangling an enormous sandworm in a breathtaking rush through the dunes.
