Along the way, she is joined by various characters, including a muse, a seraphim, and a group of unlikely allies, all as they battle against the forces of heaven and hell. Directed by Kevin Smith, the film combines dark humor, theological questions, and absurdity to explore topics of faith, redemption, and religious mythology.

Join us for an encore of Denis Villeneuve’s epic space odyssey returns to the big screen in its full, awe-inspiring form: a double feature presentation of Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two. Spanning the desolate beauty of Arrakis and the shadowy corridors of interstellar power, this two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel marks a towering cinematic achievement—both a sprawling mythological epic and a hauntingly intimate story of destiny, prophecy, and the terrible price of power.
In Part One, Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Prisoners) introduces us to the dying empire and the doomed House Atreides, torn from their home world and cast into the brutal desert sands of Arrakis—a planet rich in spice and ruled by violence. As Paul (Timothée Chalamet) begins to awaken to visions of the future, Part Two catapults us into a full-scale revolution.
Shot with staggering scale and precision, Dune is modern blockbuster filmmaking at its most operatic. From Hans Zimmer’s thunderous score to Greig Fraser’s otherworldly cinematography, every frame is built for the big screen.
