 When _Part One_ hit the screens, people were amazed that it was so good.
 Now, with _Part Two_, we hear that it's even better than the first one!
 
 But I was very skeptical.

 Dune was never _about_ war.
 War was in there, but it was never the point.

 It's a not _sequel_ to _Dune_, but _part two_.

 _Part One_ ends with finishing of the Harkonen attack plot, which only ignites events of this movie.

 After becoming the reverent mother however she becomes menacing.
 With this comes another change - Alia is not born here.
 She is talking with her mother telepathically, but at the end of the movie she is still to be born[^fn:2].
 That's a dangerous change, but it works perfectly because the tone Jessica uses when talking with her - calm, silent, almost a whisper, yet still menacing.
 I can not stress it enough - Rebecca is perfect here.

 Luckily, this movie is much weirder than _Part One_.
-While last time Dennis omitted a lot, here he shows more things[^fn:3], but still there is no context.
-We see the finger of the Baron, but we never learn what is there.
-It comes as Easter eggs for old time fans, which is nice as it takes nothing from the story.
-But then there is Geido Prime which is monochromatic, empty and cold - in the scariest way.
