Review of Dune (2021) by Evokings — 07 Nov 2021

My review for the 2021 movie Dune part 1, so I watched the movie in theaters,full movie going experience, well not so much, the problem with the movie is it strays from the book to movie experience, if you like movies you might not like Dune if you like the book you will possibly dislike the movie for certain things, because it omits small useful tidbits of detail, that would have made the movie even better, an example being doctor Yueh had more dialog and moments in the book that would have helped the audience understand his betrayal better, these details matter, instead we have many panning shots which are cool.

but dialog/scenes between other characters would have made the movie better, also paul is a bit over powered in this movie, and scenes make no sense when you think about it, like why is a Dukes son out in the sand in harm's way playing hero.

.no blame or anger goes to Duncan or Gurney nor do they apologize to the Duke for incompetence, yet a few scenes later Thufir Hawat tenders his resignation when the Dukes son faces a hunter seeker, and the Duke is like nope 2 other guys I know are just as incompetent, I enjoyed watching the movie but I was displeased by the lack of rich dialog, which the book had offered by comparison, and I understand that a movie has a 3 hour run time and you can't fit it all in, but key dialog and scenes could have been added, if there is an extended cut that details it better I would like to watch it, but for now my conclusion is the movie could get lost in a list of many movies of today, the intellectual characters of Dune were under utilized, So it's not a unique movie, nor is it a Peter Jackson accurate book to movie film.

overall good movie but it could have been better detailed for the audience I did like the cinematography, but I just wish we got more story.
