Dune: Part Two review - Heartthrob Timothee Chalamet leads an all-star cast in this marathon sci-fi sequel - just don't forget your sandwiches, writes BRIAN VINER
BRIAN VINER: Dune: Part Two lasts almost three hours. It is even longer than the first film, and that seemed to go on forever. Happily, it does.
On the barren planet Arrakis, with most of his own kinsfolk wiped out, Paul Atreides (Chalamet) prepares to lead the beleaguered, disenfranchised Fremen tribe against his and their mortal enemies, the formidably evil House Harkonnen. But Paul is a fierce warrior first and foremost, who has a truly gripping set-piece duel with the emerging champion of the Harkonnen (a shaven-headed Austin Butler), and whose muscular beauty pleases Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh), scheming daughter of the Emperor (Christopher Walken). But the main focus is on their impossibly cute eight-year-old son Thomas (Charlie Vauselle), whose superhero fantasies are brought to life in oddly beguiling little interludes as he seeks refuge from the weird world of grown-ups.
