The biggest movie star vehicle since before the dawn of the streaming era, Dune: Part Two landed in theaters last spring to raucous applause and massive wormy popcorn buckets. Starring the present and future of Hollywood, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and apparently Anya Taylor-Joy, the film picks up where Dune, Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 triumph, left off. And now that it's nominated at the Oscars, you might be wondering how to watch it at home.
The Dune-iverse began in 1965 with Frank Herbert’s famous novel, which introduces a fictional universe in the distant future wherein a young man travels to a dangerous desert planet to save his people–you know, standard sci-fi shit. The book was considered by many to be "unadaptable," and David Lynch did try in 1984, but that version is not well regarded.
Denis Villenueve helmed the Dune of today with a budget of $165 million. The film won six Academy Awards after its 2021 releases and brought millions of new fans to the nerd-core sci-fi series, all of whom were sat in feral anticipation for the sequel—bigger, better, and more expensive at $190 million.
Dune: Part Two follows Chalamet’s Paul Atreides into the desert planet of Arrakis, where he joins forces with the Fremen people to fight against the villainous House Harkonnen. The new film introduces two new stars to the Dune-iverse in Austin Butler and Florence Pugh, as well as Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux. Butler plays villain Feyd-Rautha, a murderous little freak promoted to the role of Ruler by his fat floating uncle, Stellan Skarsgård’s Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Pugh, on the other hand, enters the chat as Princess Irulan. The film is nominated for five Oscars: Best Picture, Production Design, Cinematography, Sound, and Visual Effects. Here's how you can watch it.
How Can I Watch Dune?
On streaming! Because the movie came out last March, it's been long enough that it's available on streaming. You can watch it from the comfort of your home, for free (or, included in subscription services you already pay for). You can watch it on either Netflix or Max.
If you somehow don't subscribe to either of those services, you can also rent the movie on Amazon Prime Video for $3.99 or buy it for $4.99. That is a steal for one of the best movies of 2024, IMO.
