this movie didn’t say anything, felt like an ad for cereal. i did eat cereal the next day though so it unfortunately did work.
weird “hen-pecked husband” type trope written for the Post right hand man that rubbed me the wrong way. good as background noise and not much more. the story is not interesting and the acting is a style that’s not my personal taste.
I genuinely could not tell if the movie was satire or not. Viewing this movie from a satirical lens on the genre of romcoms, it’s brilliant. it doesn’t shy away from a single trope, and does it in such a fast paced way you see the unique flavor of a love hate relationship in a highly intimate setting around their families. it is not high art, but it is entertaining and perhaps brilliant if it is indeed satirical.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
pros: again, the world building saves this movie. cool to see the backstory and lore of the fremen, also i really like the theme of local knowledge vs the big guys. zendaya the only palatable character except when she kept storming off (and lowkey siltar when he just kept saying lisan al-gaib for the entire second half of the movie). politics and moving parts lend well to an interesting story.
the scene where paul is riding the worm is fire,…
