Dune: Part Two

Movie · 2024

This sweeping sci-fi epic is a visually stunning but very intense film, packed with frequent battle violence, disturbing imagery, implied sexual content, and heavy themes of war, prophecy, and political manipulation. It earns every bit of its PG-13 rating and then some, running nearly three hours at a dark, serious tone throughout.

Best suited for teens 14 and up, ideally those already familiar with the Dune story.
