The actors did their part very well, but in regards to the movie itself…. Well it was very dragged out and anti climatic. I didn’t see in the previews where it was part one and not and entire film. Zendaya was barely in the film at all…. Literally it bounced back and forth and was very hard to follow, plus parts of the film were so hard to hear that if you’re not paying close attention, you’ll miss everything they say. Would wait till it comes out on dvd or Redbox. 2hrs and 35mins I wasted on a film that just wasn’t well thought out. Part two needs to be great to make up for the confusion on this film.

This movie lives true to the book. An amazing cast and screenplay makes this a must see!

There is simply not enough dramatic development to fill the film as a whole.

Dune is a tour de force of cinematic sci-fi, a star-studded yet deeply weird fantasy epic, a thoughtful and thrilling movie experience... And then it stops right in the middle.

Being the hero of the story has never looked so poisoned, and that alone is thrilling enough to hope Villeneuve gets to make part two of this impressively batshit venture.
