Unlike with most franchises, it was clear from the start that there would be a second instalment, so little exposition is needed to pick up where the story left off. Paul Atreides continues along his path to become messiah to the Fremen on the most strategically crucial planet in the galaxy while the cartoonishly evil Harkonnen plot to take over the Empire. It's mostly Timothée Chalamet moodily gazing over oceans of sand, for going on for three hours and for no particular dramatic justification. Sure, it looks spectacular and postures at grand drama, but really has very little to present or say that wasn't already covered in the first world-building part.
5/10
