Worried like every time a great material is adapted it usually does not deliver on expectation.
Here Dennis Villeneuve did the impossible: staying faithful to a complex and rich universe and a fantastic story with a masterful demonstration of direction, stunning visuals and solid acting.
Oscar Isaac, Stellan Skasgard and Javier Bardem in particular are impressive while Chalamet was solid.
My only (slight) issue is the fact that Lady Jessica is too emotional compared to the original character, and that we never see the emperor and the Navigators.
I was afraid that the sex and race swap of Liet would feel forced and woke but it is well done and feels natural in the context of the film.
So hat's off Dennis Villeneuve, this is another masterpiece under your belt.
