Dune: Part Two completes the novel. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) becomes a Fremen warrior and slowly is seen, much to his chagrin, as the prophesied Lisan al Gaib here to bring independence to Arrakis. Paul has the support of Chani (Zendaya) who as a Northerner doesn't believe in the prophecy. His mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) plays her part by becoming the Reverend Mother of Sietch Tabr.

Meanwhile the Harkonnen try to wipe out the Northern Fremen rebellion (they believe the South is uninhabitable where in truth most of the Fremen population is in the South). Lord Rabban (Dave Bautista) is headstrong and blunt and Paul's hit-and-run tactics chip away at the Harkonnen forces and spice harvesting machinery. na-Baron Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) replaces Rabban and his scorched earth tactics have greater effect.

Things come to a head when Paul goads Emperor Shaddam IV (Christopher Walken) and Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) to come to Arrakis and when they do, with the Imperial Sardaukar Army, a final battle is set that pits the Southern Fremen against the Imperial and Harkonnen forces...

This is a 2-1/2 hour movie that moves as stately as Part One. The desert environment is gorgeous. The big machines are imposing. Various locations seem real and not sets. I watched this on my iPad and it's quite cinematic. The characters are great and there are lots of them so not a huge amount of focus on any one character, even Paul. Action scenes are well done and the climactic duels are fast and satisfying.

The movie ends on a slight cliffhanger which I suppose leads to a possible Part Three (based on Dune Messiah) being in very early development.
