With its scale and scope, Villeneuve’s Dune recalls the widescreen epics of the 1950s and 1960s. This is appropriate, given that David Lynch’s Dune was also something of a nostalgic invocation of classic science fiction and biblical epics. In many ways, Villeneuve’s Dune feels like a throwback.

The film has been released in multiple formats, from a simultaneous streaming release to a glorious IMAX presentation. The film has a mammoth 155-minute runtime. Estimates place the film’s budget at around $165 million. Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of the science fiction classic is an incredible undertaking.
