I liked the way that the story unfolded, and I really don't miss the projected thoughts of the characters. I was somewhat disappointed that the movie was over when it was starting to get exciting. I look forward to the sequel. I really hope that they don't make it a trilogy.

Nothing about this film, not the cheesy, boring dialogue which was hard to hear most of the time, the acting, storyline, dark lighting, overrated, overdone effects, From the trailers I thought it was going to be great...but nope, trailer is the best part, don't waste your money. That's what you get for putting quotas over creativity and talent.

One of the worst movies ever. Ridiculous story line, cheesy acting. They fight for a "spice" yes a spice, which they never explain (by showing an example) what it does, how powerful it is but only that its super valuable. They jump from one issue or plot to another, very disjointed, nothing relates, nothing makes sense, no logic, no reasoning, too many superpowers to make the audience believe any of it. Slow, boring, too dark. Instead of water being the most valuable resource (on a scorching hot sand planet) its spice. Give me a break. The writers must be brand new or full of themselves---as Simon would say, "Quite indulgent" and nothing about this film works, even the special effects are overdone, overrated simply and cannot make up for this disaster.

Incredible special effects and I don't go for that kind of thing as one of the most important aspects of a film. Too bad it's only the first half of the saga. Definitely worth seeing if your a fan of the 80's Dune movie.

The Third Stage Guild Navigators in this version look like the aliens from Mars Attacks! "Don't run -- we are your friends!" If Paul ever gets ahold of his dad's Slim Whitman collection the Navigators are done for!!!

I think the casting of Chalamet in the lead severely compromised the epic sweep the movie was going for. As remakes go it's average at best, which was quite unexpected.

I thought this was a great movie. Remakes are tough, and I think this one crushed it. This is an engaging and textured story with political power plays among multiple factions and characters, each with competing interests. There is no other way to tell this story other than to go slowly. If high action, low plot is your taste, this movie will disappoint. The casting of Paul's character is interesting. He's not the superhero as much as an average kid whose strength and talents become reveled as situations are thrust on him. There is no cape or Justice League logos on him. Just like the plot, his character is textured and we learn about him in drops and dribbles as his story unfolds. The cinematic effects were very well done and the music score was gripping. I look forward to seeing the second.
