Well I finally watched the movie, I think I have mixed feelings about it. On the one side visually is fantastic, and I think it recreates the Dune atmosfear really well, on the other side the story seems barely an introduction, with no transcendence, I wonder how must feel people that have not read the books. I guess the director wanted to give the movie a slow pace but with such a base material, he is going to need much more than 2 films to make something that ends not being just .... not enough.
Mostly all characters are really flat, you do not get to know them well, particularly Leto Atreides, and I miss Feyd Rautha. Mostly nothing of the political battles is explained, barely insinuated.
Liet Kynes being a black woman .... I am getting old, and tired of all this political correctness / diversity thing, aren't they just perpetuating conflicts just for the sake of their own idea of the world?
My bottom line is .... it could be a good first out of ten episodes, but if it is going to be only 2 movies, it will be a failure, unless you don't care about the original story.
