The movie was incredibly well made and DV did a fine job telling the first half of the Dune story. Everything was done just as it should be done.
Problem I had with it was that there just isn’t anything that is that memorable about the way they filmed it. Love or hate the Lynch version, there are moments that really worked as glorious goofy fun. The next day — outside of a couple scenes — there wasn’t really any sequence that memorable.
It’s hard to explain. The movie is good, don’t get me wrong. It just didn’t deliver anything more than what I was expecting or succeed is telling part of the story in a memorable way.
