Award winning, all-star casting, ambitiously thrilling – even with slow source material and an admittedly slower book-to-film story adaptation – there’s a lot riding on director Denis Villeneuve to carry Dune: Part Two into a sequel worthy of the fandom’s acceptance.
But is he truly up for the impossible task – to make a sequel that is equal if not better than the original?
In the highly anticipated 3-year follow-up film sequel to the 6-time Academy Award winning Dune 2021 starring some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, Dune 2 is finally here. And the spice is up for grabs.
In this Dune: Part Two Movie Review | Safe for Kids?, I’m breaking down the visuals, the story, a full PG-13 age rating explanation for violence, adult themes and language, and what kids’ age recommendation is suggested to watch in this new 2024 Dune: Part Two parents guide to the new Warner Bros. Pictures live action sci-fi adventure film sequel. A no-spoiler parent review of Dune: Part Two 2024, can Dune 2 visually thrill fans – again?
THE VISUALS
Dune: Part Two is more than a visual feast. It’s a whole sensory experience. Spanning vast desert landscapes to costume pageantry to audio vibrations that are pulsating throughout the film like a living, breathing character of the movie itself, there is no argument from me that Dune 2 shatters visual effects and CGI enhancements for a full-on immersive viewing rivaling that of Avatar: The Way of Water, Lord of the Rings, or Interstellar. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Audio disclosure: I caution that those sensitive to strong vibrations, loud and low tone audio sensations and sensory processing issues may want to skip this film and/or watch in the comfort of home. The sound enhancements are quite a feat for this Dune: Part Two sequel, however at times even I was overstimulated by the loudness and length of some of the auditory sequences.
That being said, I highly recommend that fans upgrade their viewing experience to see this Dune sequel in IMAX. It is definitely worth the cost to for full surround sound and visual depth to watch.
Photosensitivity Warning. For viewers prone to epilepsy and photosensitivity, there are a few scenes with bright flashing and/or strobing lights. One scene has background flashes – similar to lightning strikes and fireworks – that occur down a dark hallway, about one-third of the way through the film. Another scene occurs after a character ingests a liquid – with bright flashes of light and images of zoomed in faces quickly passing.
Those triggered by bright flashes should proceed with caution – and perhaps not opt for enhanced screening options.
