    “The world takes what it wants”
    Kind of all over the place with this movie. Loved some of the shots but wasn’t in love with how the characters played out. I get the whole idea of her realizing value in life when threatened like some others complained about. I don’t really understand how this somewhat clever serial killer makes so many mistakes though. He had a back of paralyzing victims but then but then constantly makes mistakes. I also didn’t understand the drug part sometimes because apparently she just doesn’t react to the drug like anyone else.

    The art of new relationships.
    This movie thrived in the writing and the actors did not fail to execute on such a great screenplay. This story develops and the development was beautifully crafted to invoke emotions in audience members. I personally went from chuckle here and there to slight tears later in the movie. Even some of the smaller details added so much to the story. Going back to the title, this setting puts interesting characters together and the relationship they developed. There was an art in crafting how they blended together in the movie along with their ups and downs.

    As it is written…
    A skillfully crafted sequel that doesn’t just expand on an overarching story, but thrives with suspenseful action throughout. Major scenes that stuck in my mind hours and days after. Whether is was the celebration of Feyd-Ruthau’s birthday with the duel of the House of Atreides soldiers or the first time Paul Atreides rides a worm. They were just so masterful with the blending of soundtrack, shot composition, and acting. This was a fantastic watch especially for Sci-Fi lovers. Can’t wait for Part Three but also the show coming out in a couple of days.
