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.
Didn't they add the colonialism theme to the movie? My impression (which may be wrong because I never read the books) was the Harkonnen and Fremen initially didn't give a shit about each other because they exist in completely separate niches.
Well that theme was present in the books and the older movie. The Harkonnen did have trouble with the fremen, since they were the "conquered" native population of the planet.
But yeah, it has a SJW sorta flavor in the new movie. It's a source of conflict in the source material, but just one of many.
