I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing; only I will remain.

I loved Dune (at least the first trilogy), and this was a mighty fine adaptation of it.

My only note is that it just felt a bit… full of itself? So many big set pieces where they’re just not needed, it feels like a lot of time is spent trying to convey how impressive the film is rather than contributing to the actual story.
