Just saw Dune yesterday.
Pros: It's honestly not nearly as woke as the race swapped characters would suggest. The cinematography is great, and I think the cast was well selected (unnecessary race swapping aside). They did a great job of designing the costumes and the spaceships too.
I haven't seen anything in the way of woke pandering and politics thrown in your face, but Zendaya doesn't really do anything in this movie so who knows about the next one.
Cons: It's a bit confusing who/what everyone/everything is if you haven't read the book.
You will have to use the bathroom after watching it.
I wholeheartedly agree. The race swapping is the only egregious SJW thing about the movie, it's very good despite that.
It's not just race swapping, it's gender swapping as well. But it is at least contained to one character.
And that character gets (spoiler alert) brutally murdered and eaten. So that was nice.
