A -BIG- Screen MINI Review ; Picture Seen Oct. 07, '21.

Lady Jessica Atreides : "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain". { This is the -Very- first quote, on 'IMDb.com' }.

1. If you're one of the -Millions- of people around the world who loved Denis Villeneuve's hauntingly riveting 2015 thriller 'Sicario', ( yours truly included ) ; then strap in for 'one hell of an Interstellar ride', with an -{ Equally }- INTERSTELLAR 🌠 Cast . . . . that -literally- presents itself like a Who's-who of Hollywood's "Best, And Brightest". This time around, the unequivocally -{ Prolific }- Academy Award nominated French Canadian director has taken acclaimed American author Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi thriller, ( once touted as the world's -Best- selling science fiction novel ), & turned it into a veritable masterpiece of a movie. -Make Sure- to 'keep a special eye out' for Rebecca Ferguson's completely "Stunning" portrayal of 'Lady Jessica Atreides' . . . . I can promise that you most certainly -Will Not- regret it.
2. Almost needless to say, the Music, Acting , Cinematography 📽 , Art-direction, CGI, Dramatic pacing & the sprawling, lavish Set-pieces are all, well . . . -{ " Past Compare " }- . When it comes to 2021's cinematic 'big budget" smorgasbord : if you want to see the -Very- best Popcorn Flick SENSATION of the year, it's most unequivocally going to be Bond 25 : 'No Time To Die'. But, on the -other- hand, if you're more in the mood for some -equally- magnificent "ART-FILM MEETS BLOCKBUSTER" ( no seriously ) fare . . . That may -Well- hold you in a state somewhat comparable to 'Absolute Rapture' from start to finish, then 'Dune' should most -Definitely- be your first port of call. Just make sure to come to said movie with a { Genuinely } open and unbiased -->-- Heart , As Well As Mind 🙃 .
3. " Final Analysis " : The only -{ Pronounced }- lack you will feel, if any at all, is that of -{ Humour }- . . . . especially if you're someone who enjoys their big screen delights served with a, er, "generous" side of free flowing -Mirth- . I counted -Literally- only about "3.5" plausibly funny moments, ( at the very most ), in the -Entire- flick. But the obvious reason for that is : it simply -Wouldn't- have worked within this sort of a 'Deadly Serious' dark, dramatic, & super futuristic setting ( 10,191 "AG", to be precise ). So, having taken -that- aspect of the production into consideration ; it really ended up -{ Not }- bothering me very much, at all. Thus, in sum . . . . I was utterly -{ MESMERIZED }- by " Dune : Part 1 " and hence ; I'm giving it a " Wholehearted, Adoring, MEGA-APPRECIATIVE 13 Out Of 10 🔥❗" .
