The film focuses on Timothée Chalamet's Paul, the son of Oscar Isaac's Duke Leto Atreides and Rebecca Ferguson'🅷s Lady Jessica. House Atreides is tasked with travelling to the inhospitabl♈e desert planet Arrakis to harvest spice, the vital substance that makes interstellar travel possible – but Paul has been having strange dreams about Zendaya's Chani, and a bigger destiny awaits him. 

. "It was just an insane out-of-body experience seeing it on the big screen, with Hans Zimmer's score blaring from the speakers. I left the theater completely numb and hungry for more. Bring on Part 2!!"

Sequel hopes were repeated in , too: "I saw #Dune today and really loved it, but i꧒t felt like half the story, which it is. Please god let this be a success, so 🅠I can see the second half. Support your local movie theaters. Go and see it, I'd really recommend it!"

"After years of waiting, I finally saw Denis Villeneuve's #Dune and it is a sublime adaptation of Herbert's work and a great film in its own right," viewer. "A unique experience sublimated by the experience of the cinema so please su💯pport the film as the future of the saga depends on it."
