Review of Dune (2021) by Reelsight — 08 Nov 2021

This new version of Dune has turned agreat work of imagination and adventure into a boring documentary. As a minimum I was hoping it would improve on the first Dune movie which had its own flaws, but that was not to be.

The actors are deadpan, the visuals bleak and grey, the entire production is underwhelming and without sparking any wonder or awe at the amazing sand planet and its creatures and characters. I don't understand why this version has received any positive reviews.

I don't think anyone who has read the novel and watched the first movie version could prefer this lumpen lifeless portrayal of the fabulous Dune story.
