Dune Part 2 was a crazy emotional experience for me. I’ve been known to shed a tear or two at a really good ending, but this movie had me bawling throughout. Partly because some of the scenes are just so gut wrenching, but mostly because I couldn’t believe this story was finally being told in the proper way. Can’t wait to see how Villeneuve adapts Messiah.
I also really enjoyed The Wild Robot. Gave me Wall-E vibes and was just mostly hilarious and heartwarming throughout.
2023’s movie experiences really burned me and I’m a little gunshy about venturing to the theatre to spend another $15-$20 to sit through two disappointing hours so I honestly didn’t go to the theatre much this year. We’ll see if 2025 changes that, but I don’t have too much hope.
