5 Stars! “No one makes these kinds of movies: a big-scale blockbuster that satisfies as a massive spectacle, edgy political thriller and emotional drama. Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve adapts Frank Herbert’s nearly 60-year-old novel into something fresh and new, adding inventive flourishes, strongly textured characters and a series of moments that are jaw-dropping, each in its own specific way. As it reaches its open-handed conclusion, we’d happily sit there for three more hours.” (Shadows On The Wall)

5 Stars! “Dune overwhelmed me…is a sprawling, sand-strewn epic…It is a literal feast for the eyes, one of the most strikingly compelling visual blockbusters we’ve seen in years…The cast is astonishing…a film that brings forth brilliant visual beauty while also maintaining that sense of philosophical denseness that drives the novel.” (The Maine Edge)

5 Stars! “Villeneuve effortlessly whisks the viewer away to this fictitious universe and stuffs all he can into each frame to keep the audience entirely immersed in what is on screen…Dune is likely to be a film spoken about for many years to come, already being touted as this generation’s The Lord of the Rings, and is a worthy recipient of all the praise being lavished upon it.” (Film Disclosure)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
