Spielberg heaps praise on Dune: Part Two, calls it one of the most brilliant sci-fi films

Acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg has all the praise for Dune: Part Two and the director of the film Denis Villeneuve. He talked about a particular scene that impressed him, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Dune: Part Two is the second film in the action-packed franchise and it stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, and others.
Spielberg and Villeneuve appeared together on DGA’s Director’s Cut podcast, where the filmmaker behind sci-fi classics Close Encounters of the Third Kind heaped praise on the Dune director.
“This is truly a visual epic, and it’s also filled with deeply, deeply drawn characters,” Spielberg said. “Yet the dialogue is very sparse when you look at it proportionately to the running time of the film.
It’s such a cinema. The shots are so painterly, yet there’s not an angle or single setup that’s pretentious … you have made one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen.”
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Spielberg especially commended the VFX work of the spice harvesters, particularly compared with the first film. “Those machines were incredible,” he said. “I thought the machines were incredible in the first Dune, and I don’t know what you did, but you did something to detail them more this time with the sand falling off the treads, that was awesome … Warner Bros.
