Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) perfectly executes his attack plan on the Emperor (Christopher Walken).
It helps, of course, that their assault is aided by the atomic weapons of House Atreides.
After the fall of Feyd-Rautha, things happen a little differently than the book.

What does this mean for his Fremen lover, Chani (Zendaya)?
But in directorDenis Villeneuves film, Chani storms out of the building.
The last shot of the film is her summoning a sandworm to take her as far away as possible.
The other Great Houses arent any happier about Pauls ascension.
However, despite their massed armada, they cannot attack Paul on Arrakis.
You see, destroying fortifications wasnt Pauls only reason for deploying atomic weapons.
Just as tragic is the way Paul has manipulated the Fremen.
At the end we hear him order his troops to take them to Paradise!
Dont expect to see this war on screen, though.
When Frank Herbert wroteDune, he was disappointed at how people perceived Paul,Villeneuve says.
In his mind,Dunewas a cautionary tale a warning against charismatic figures.
He felt that Paul was perceived as a hero, when he wanted to do the opposite.
