I really like this movie, but it’s definitely not perfect. The real problem is the book is a little all over the place. I’m not sure how someone could follow the plot on the first watch without having read the book. So many characters and groups to keep track of: there’s the emperor who you never meet, the Fremen, Atreides, the Harkonnen, the Imperial army, the Bene Gesserit… Anyways, the film is very true to the book while still remaining interesting, which was a big challenge. I’m hoping all the setup in the first half pays off in the second movie.
Cool concept for a movie, but it played out about how I expected going in. I thought there was gonna be more misdirection. The most interesting idea was looking at everything someone has said/done, and then reframing it after they’re suspected of murder.
The standout performance is clearly the dog. In this movie, the dog acts happy, sad, and even pretends to be sick as they try to nurse it back to health.
The songs were pretty terrible, and the acting outside of Regina was bad. More minor complaint but, please can we stop doing the writer/director introducing the movie? Who is asking for this?!
