"Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family." -  IMDB Wow wow wow. This met expectations and then some.  I know a movie is good when I keep commenting about the technical aspects, which I don't often do as much as I should - the use of lighting and shadow, coloring, cinematography, costume and set design. All the pieces are put together perfectly once again to make this a beautifully immersive cinematic experience. This world feels so lived in. The use of fictional languages with amazing line delivery by the actors goes such a long way. The music was amazing and really felt a character on it's own. It's power to create tension and emotion is the purpose of a good soundtrack, but some movies do it better than others - thanks Hans Zimmer. The cast!!! Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Dave Bautista, Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, and even Christopher Wal
