Variety Critic's Pick: 'Dune: Part Two' Review Praises Chalamet, Zendaya and Villeneuve's Scale
Peter Debruge of Variety gives 'Dune: Part Two' a Critic's Pick review, calling it a graduation from the 2021 original's world-building into a fuller narrative
The film picks up after a genocide of House Atreides, opening with Princess Irulan (new character, played by Florence Pugh), daughter of Emperor Christopher Walken
The story centers on whether Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides is the true messiah (Kwisatz Haderach) or a manufactured prophecy engineered by the Bene Gesserit
Denis Villeneuve works with composer Hans Zimmer again and treats the film as a theatrical-only event, unlike the first film's day-and-date HBO Max release
Villeneuve has hinted he wants to make a third installment if 'Part Two' earns enough at the box office
