Description

• DUNE: PART TWO • THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, screenplay by Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert • Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Léa Seydoux, with Stellan Skarsgård, with Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem

Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides—who would become known as Muad'Dib—and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

    Read it in high school and was very ok with it and really liked the premise and non-star wars nature of the book. Read it again on a whim after seeing the movies recently; it wasn't anywhere near as exciting as I remembered it being and just seemed to draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag on and on about nothing. Keeping this hidden on the shelf where it belongs.

    What can I say this is the best book I have read. It has a way to draw you in and I loved every moment of it, frank hubert has way when writing books and you can see that by how he created his characters, he showed the humanity in the character then them being perfect he showed their flaws and beauty.

    A bit convoluted with both mental and physical imagery, but showing perfectly how complex and marvelous a human mind can be if trained properly (I don’t mean the supernatural part of it). Not that it would make someone happier, as seen with the main protagonist.
