Dune: Part Two (2024)
Objective Criticism
This movie felt like a load of guilty pleasure, I enjoyed it and had fun. But most great things about the movie are credited to the book aka the plot, lore, setting, characters, politics etc. The "filmmaking" part of it beside Cinematography was mediocre to good at best. The emotion range and Believability of characters for example, every single character had one single role in this movie, no depth, complexity or character development. The dramatic scenes were extremely bad, why would shani look at the screen giving her back to the enemies during a WAR!!
Disappointed, but still enjoyed it.....
Khorfakkan (2020)
Revolutionary in the Emirati cinema !
The plot revolves around the historical invasion of Portuguese on Khorfakkan, pretty straightforward and decent war plot .. but the screewriting and dialogue throughout the movie at some points were pale and unnecessary.
The direction had alot of potential, the choreography of the action scenes were so rushed and edited very poorly. At other parts they were perfectly done, so it could have been much better.
The cinematography was just absolutely phenomenal and breathtaking. They really do show the beauty of khorfakkan with it's mountains over the sea view. It carried the story telling very well. It was ruined a couple of times from the non-perfect CGI but it doesn't ruin the experience.
The casting and the characters had depth and variety of emotion ranges, It felt real and genuine. At least most of the actors, some side characters were not ideal. But the main characters were perfectly fit for their roles with top notch acting !!
Overall I think it deserves an 8/10 specially because of the usual emirati standards that are quite low. This movie might change the UAE cinema forever.
