The first is great, with a notable race and gender swap of a character. Overall I enjoyed it, but I also loved the books and I was just ecstatic to see it on the big screen so I’m a tad biased. Seeing it opening night in imax was awesome though
While the fact they gender-swapped Kynes shows they have the same understanding of the Dune universe as a shallow puddle, the part that pisses me off the most is that they showed the Sardaukar homeworld.
Which was very much a surprise on my part on how much it pissed me off. Didn't watch the movie, didn't plan on it, and I was very confused on the sudden inclusion of youtube feeds about the 'Sardaukar home planet'.
So, yeah. While I'm sure it looks great, I really fucking hate that movie.
The inclusion of what Selucis Secundis looks like wasn’t that immersion breaking for me, since they haven’t spoken at all about the hard planet -> hard men pipeline like the books allude to
They're never going to be able to translate all the layers of intrigue that's in the books over to films. But given that the source of the Saurdukar are a really big mystery in the book - well.
I wouldn't have expected that to be my line for the movie, but apparently it was.
