"Dune: Part Two" was just one of many great movies that came to Netflix at the end of 2024.

Alongside one of the greatest action movies of all time ("Mad Max: Fury Road"), the streamer also welcomed Denis Villeneuve's science fiction sequel. Just days after landing on the platform, it's already climbed to the No. 4 spot in the Netflix charts as of the time of writing.

Granted, that's not much of a surprise. After all, the "Dune" sequel was the fifth-biggest movie at the box office last year and had viewers singing its praises. In other words, it makes perfect sense that would-be viewers who missed it would be diving right into such an acclaimed feature now that "Dune: Part Two" is available on another streaming service besides Max.

If you're not already keen to be wrapped up in the epic sci-fi sequel, here's a bit more info about "Dune: Part Two," including a brief synopsis and what critics had to say about the movie (spoilers: it's a must-watch).

‘Dune: Part Two’ Director Denis Villeneuve Is Ready for Another Round: ‘I Want to Go Back to Arrakis’

With “Dune: Part Two,” director Denis Villeneuve did the unthinkable. He made a Hollywood sequel — really, the second part of his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s influential 1965 novel — that was more satisfying than the first. Everyone returned to the desert planet Arrakis, including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and Josh Brolin, this time joined by new characters played by Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux.

The movie feels both bigger and more intimate than before, full of action and just as much emotion. It’s a more complicated, nuanced piece of machinery from one of our most talented filmmakers and one of the more riveting big-screen spectacles of the year.

2021’s “Dune” was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won in six categories, including cinematography, production design, score and visual effects. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is how many directors tried and failed to get an adaptation of Herbert’s masterpiece into theaters in the years since David Lynch’s doomed 1984 production.
