(The second best part of Dune is any time Duncan Idaho arrives in a spaceship to excited applause this happens twice.) That's by design, of course. The "am" portion simply comes from the fact the phrase "desert power" is extremely funny, spoken with maximum gravity in a film that's drier than the Arrakis drifts outside of any scene featuring Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho. If it sounds like I'm mocking Dune, the honest answer is that I am and also very, very sincerely am not. RELATED: ‘Dune’ Review: Denis Villeneuve's Sci-Fi Epic Has a Cold Heart on a Hot Planet Every single time, it brings this impenetrable outer space epic endearingly back down to Earth. It happens at least three times, starting with Oscar Isaac's powerfully-bearded Duke Leto Atreides coining the phrase as a way to describe the untapped political potential of the desert warrior-people known as the Fremen, and ending with Paul Atreides ( Timothee Chalamet) coming to the awe-inspiring conclusion that a good portion of harnessing "desert power" means you get to ride a very large worm. It's grand, it's operatic, it's stunning to look at, and I want to immediately apologize to both Villeneuve and his grand ambitions because the most memorable part of Dune is every single time a character earnestly says the phrase "desert power" like an anime character discovering a new type of Pokémon.
The only way to take in the scope of this film, with its city-sized spaceships and subway-length sandworms, is to get blasted backward by an IMAX presentation that's still struggling to fit every corner of Frank Herbert's universe into frame. Denis Villeneuve's Dune is a staggeringly large work, a galaxy-spanning Shakespeare-in-space opera that actually does demand the " see it on the biggest screen possible" tag.
