A Review of Dune (2021)
Why I only want to go through this desert once.
The film Dune’s (2021) $165 million dollar budget, sci-fi bona-fides, and impressive cast of bankable Hollywood stars lead by Timothee Chalamet should have guaranteed a decent weekend opening. And it didn’t disappoint, bringing in $41 million in the US and $87.5 million worldwide, and topping the box-office the following weekend to boot. Which is why I cannot understand how I have come to the opposite conclusion, that the Dune experience is not built on solid foundations, but shifting sand.
