Still very different from my own mental images from the text, but much better and accessible. At least it's not distractingly weird in and of itself, just distracting for someone with strong existing mental imagery.
The gom jabbar scene was great. The overall cinematography wasn't all that flashy or anything, but Chalamet's presence and expressiveness along with the score really knocked it home, . . . legit lumped up and almost had to bow out for a moment.
One weird, thing that was massively distracting once I actually noticed. Never in my life did it even occur to me to enunciate 'Muad'Dib' as Mahdy. Many more syllables in my own head, . . . something along the lines of Mwah-DEEB-uh. Didn't even register that's what they were referring to at first.
