- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: The overall nature of Dune leaves the viewer wildly impressed in its epic nature.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …coherent and features a few thrilling moments, but it is also a big, lumbering affair too reminiscent of “Star Wars” with a dash of “Apocalypse Now” that takes over two and a half hours to conclude by telling us ‘This is only the beginning.’
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Dune is a good movie that flirts with greatness but never quite gets there. This classic story just doesn’t hold the same weight as it did when it was first released.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I had a very hard time getting into the story or its characters, as much as I do admire and like many technical elements within the film.

- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A stunning work of majestic grandeur that is full of lives….and yet there is no life.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Monumental. Villeneuve tells a familiar story with uncommon elegance and pensiveness, even dreaminess, on a breathtaking scale. A stunningly gorgeous, supremely dignified movie about ugly things.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: This version of DUNE, by Denis Villeneuve, has a stunning visual design, perhaps the best we are likely to see in film in years.
- [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: These are complex dynamics. It’s a reason why Dune has been so tough to crack in this medium. I think Villeneuve has done it.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Dune absolutely delivers on its promises and then some. This is a visually spectacular feature that I found myself fully immersed in.

- Excerpt: Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’ is a science fiction spectacle of epic proportions with an indomitable cast, state-of-the-art visual effects, and an undercurrent of adult-tilting thematics running throughout. A masterwork only complicated by its (temporarily) unfinished nature and one I can’t wait to see again.
- Josh Taylor @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Villeneuve has created the Lawrence of Arabia of science fiction/fantasy.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
- Sebastian Zavala @ Me Gusta El Cine [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Flawed as it is, “Dune” is a passion project, an ambitious film that feels more honest than 90% of blockbusters that are released each year.
