I made it maybe 30 minutes before I quit caring.
Wasn't that much wokeness, the intro I guess with "who are our next oppressors"
Something about it just didn't engage me.
It is gorgeous, but I dunno. Every scene was some epic shot with epic music etc
Told the wife I'll watch the 6 hour version if it comes out.
Wasn't there more dialogue in the original? Exposition etc?
Maybe it was the grandiose scenes and almost jarring transitions?
2/10. Hope the directors cut is worth a shot

the lasgun/shield interaction doesnt generate radiation, just a huge explosion comparable (in some cases bigger than) nuclear weapons. I'm not sure if giant explosions are really a generational thing.
I took the spider thing to be some kind of gimp, they wanted to portray the depravity of the Harkonnens but since gay stuff can't be bad anymore they went with a spider in a gimp suit.
The more I think about this movie the more I realize that all the stuff that makes this interesting wasnt explained or even mentioned in the movie. This must have been an odd experience for people who dont know Dune. (granted, I don't give a rats ass what people who havent read the greatest sci fi novels of all time think. but the producers may)

You literally see the shield on Duncan's ornithopter stop a missile right before the Harkonnen ship starts firing a laser at it.

they're literally sunni muslims, zensunni wanderers which are the fremen is supposed to be some sunni muslim offshoot.
he does put jews in his last book but doesn't do much with them before he died
that's why villaneuve is a pussy for not saying "jihad" though

I mean, its right in the name that their culture included some weird futuristic amalgamation of Islam and Buddhism. I dont know why people always fixate on the sunni part and leave out the zen part.
Of course, the Fremen culture by the time of the Dune books retains little or none of the religious bits. I don't think the Fremen have any concept of God besides Shai Hulud and I dont think they really view him as a god in the same way as Muslims do Allah.
Except of course jihad, no descendant of muslims would ever let go of Jihad.

Wrong. Look fag this was Transformers for Dune fags. All visual no emotion, I know retarded American Inventors love big boom boom on screeny thing make eyeballs go wow, but normal people need an actual reason to develop a connection to characters during a story.
This movie was getting to have sex with a super hot chick but she lays there like a dead fish.

That's actually a great description of this movie.
Because despite that, I still manage to blow my load - which is still satisfying.

And here I thought Dune captured the spirit of middle east perfectly, a bunch of sand American Inventors have spice (oil) and when given the chance they kill billions of innocents in the name of a false God ( religion of peace)
