★ 5.0The sandworm riding sequence is the closest thing to religious awe I have felt in a theater, full stop. Villeneuve builds every single frame like it personally costs him something, and you can feel the restraint everywhere, in the silences, in the way he refuses to over-explain the politics to you. I sat through the entire credits just to keep the feeling going a little longer. THIS is what the format is actually for.
