Legitimately I don't know how they made a movie longer than other dune films with almost zero content at all.

All back grounds were just like a flat grey thing with people on them??? I never even knew paul was inside what was supposed to be his bedchambers when he caught the mosquito bug and killed it. No time spent establishing them as living on arakis at all.

Really sterilized and lacking in basically everything.

Music was cool and the music video feeling of the movie was nice but I really am blown away that there could be no character development in a movie so long that progresses 1/3 the length of the first two dune films.

Bareley any time with Gurney, Duncan, Yueh. We've got no concept of anything.

Multiple helicoptor scenes back to back. Dad with helicoptor, mom and paul escaping on helicoptor, talking to duncan, and then suddenly needing to escape via helicopter again. I was just like ?? ?? Then once they escaped via helicoptor the final time there was like no desert traveling with paul and his mom they didn't even have stillsuits on then they show up at the sietch and fight? I'm totally blown away.

Hoping for a super duper directors cut with tons of voiceovers and scenes to make this music video into an actual film.
yeah it was alright, I got a little bored in the middle because DUNE is just, you know,

boring as shit sometimes. But overall it was a pretty great film.

A ton of things got left out from the book

If you never read the book, youll be scratching your head like 90 percent of the time

imagined the world to look a lot different tbh

music was 7/10

should watch it!
Co-worker was talking about this today, he said he liked it but was unfamiliar with Dune going in

I knew about Dune and asked him about the sand worms and the sound guns and he said it had the worms but didn’t mention the guns

He said the politics of the story reminded him a bit of GOT where the main character’s “house” is essentially destroyed or beaten by those in power, sort of like the Stark house in GOT

source material needs to be turned into a tv series in the dune universe that follows the supporting characters throughout their lives and touches on the main story will never make good movies

that said 2 ppl said it was good and tunaburrito is a huge critic of everything

I liked it. Haven't read the books, yet. The wife was bored. It sort of reminded me of the warhammer 40k universe just without space marines.
