Dune was fantastic. Excellent world-building, acting, story, action, and cinematography that lets you really take in the surroundings. Somehow Denis Villeneuve's movies have that Roger Deakins finesse and presentation even if Roger isn't working with him, like in the case of Dune.
Denis Villeneuve's streak of Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune is unassailable. I bet his other movies before that are good, too, but I haven't seen them.
He's one of the rare cases where a studio seems to have given a director a second chance after a flop (BR2049) because they realize how talented he is. The dude makes crowd-pleasing movies while still being a total auteur--you know one of his movies when you see it. That puts him up there with the likes of Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, imo. Can't wait to see what else he makes in the future.
