Top 5. Immediately. I think this is the fastest I've ever given a movie a top 5, I just don't know where it stands yet. I watched this about a month ago, and I'm only getting around to this blog now because I wanted to wait for the recency bias to wear off. And because of the sheer spectacle this movie contains, there was a lot of recency bias. If you haven't seen Dune 1 yet and you want to see Dune 2, you have to watch the first one to understand anything that's going on. Yeah, people are right about Dune 1 being pretty slow, but it successfully manages to establish Arrakis and Paul & his family's politics very well. Dune 2, on the other hand, is a rollercoaster of movement the entire time. Because of how slow the first Dune moved, this one also picks up pretty slow, but once it gets started it does not stop. The action is smooth, the CGI is fantastic, the soundtrack is incredible, and the acting is top-notch. I'd be surprised if this movie makes less than 3 Oscars this year, but after seeing Barbie get robbed, it's hard to tell. What's even harder to tell is how much I loved this movie. Not because there's only a few details I loved, but because of how stroy-rich this movie is. I don't think I can say a single thing about this without spoiling it, so this post might feel a little lackluster in terms of synopsis. But oh my god is this movie epic. I don't mean that in a Reddit-ish way, but the way the movie's filmed makes it feel like a fantastic epic. If there's one thing that I love above everything else that this movie does well, it's the sandworms. Again, I can't say much without spoiling the movie, so just know that both of these movies are fantastic ways to kill 12 hours. I've got nothing to complain about in this movie, so I think that Denis Villenueve's Dune: Part Two gets a perfect score. 10/10
