Enjoying it more than the first, but I'm in the group of people who don't like the majority of Villeneuve's work (certainly his blockbuster stuff other than Prisoners). Soundtrack is much more subtle but still lacking melody. Dune probably works better as a series. Zendaya's acting is jarring, as usual. Timothy is an OK Paul.
Not a bad movie at all but not something I'll want to rewatch again and again.
I am very much in the opposite group of people, as i really enjoyed Villeneuve’s Arrival, Sicario and Bladerunner, but actually didn't care much about Prisoners.
I'd have to watch the movie again and focus on it more, but i also wasn't quite happy with the soundtrack and i think your point of it lacking melody might be why.
I actually kinda like Zendaya, but i do have to admit that this wasn't a strong acting performance.
Agree on the soundtrack. I took away no memorable bits other than the high/ low chords punctuating major incidents, but we've already heard that in earlier works.
