Taken from Frank Herbert's best-selling book, DUNE, the movie is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller with all the best elements, love, family, intrigue, murder, and of course a horrible villain... or maybe several horrible villains.
I was surprised when Grandpa wanted to join us, although he loves a good movie, and this one was at the IMAX, which made it even better. I was not familiar with the story and it took us a bit to figure out what was going on. I'm sure those who have read the book won't have that problem, but after we began to understand the plot, we were excited to see where the adventure would take us.
My only complaint, and maybe it had to do with where we were sitting, was that sometimes we could hear the background music so loudly that we couldn't understand what some of the characters were saying. This was easily remedied moments later when something exciting would happen. It is longer than most movies at 155 minutes. Rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, some disturbing images and suggestive material.
The movie opens officially on October 22, 2021 in 3D + IMAX.
Wait...
3D? We might have to go see it again...
It does look like a fun movie; thanks for the review.
