Dune 2 – 5

As good as Timothee Chalamet was in Wonka, he’s that bad in Dune. His thin frame and wispy good looks do not an action hero make. I suppose there is a story, as the film is based on a famous book, but I couldn’t discern it. The ‘2’ in the title might have tipped me off to the movie’s ending, which was less  resolution than warning that ‘3’ is still to come. The shots of the dunes and flying machines may be spectacular, but the effects weren’t special. Star Wars made more sense and was better in every way.
