The 2024 slump is over as we kick off March with Dune Part 2! Thus far we’ve had Mean Girls in my top movies of 2024, well the place holders can start dropping off as Dune Part 2 has taken the first of 10 slots on my top 10 movies of 2024.

If you skipped Part 1 I think you’d be fine jumping in here and going back for further details later. This literally picks up after the ending of the first part, minus a slight time passing as Paul & Lady Jessica (Paul’s mother) felt apart of the Freman he met up with at the ending of Part 1. After defeating his opponent that challenged him in order for Paul to prove himself worthy to join.

Part 2 is the second half of the first book in this epic sci-fi feature which I’m hopeful and excited to see the remainder of this story on the big screen.

I’m not going to spoil as I want you to go out and watch this on the biggest screen you can find. Beware to bring ear plugs if sensitive to loud music/sound as Part 2 has several LOUD scenes that feel totally epic but LOUD!

Dune Part 2 picks up the War over Spice and turns it to 12. This feature is packed with action of various variety that keeps the pacing engaging which is welcome for a rather lengthy 2 hours and 45minute mammoth war film.

Dive into the War is one layer of this epic, the other follows the titles of later books, if Paul is the Prophet that will lead the Freman to paradise as written.

Again without going into spoilers those that have seen the trailer will be delighted by the epic ness of that arena scene. The action is so good and the second half has so much more to unpack that I look forward to hearing from everyone once you’d enjoyed your popcorn watching this movie.

I thoroughly loved: Spice Wars – How to Train your Sand Worm: Edition 😀 With a mighty 8.5 out of 10 which I’d love to watch once again for those awesome action set pieces as we wait for the next title in this epic series.
