Review of Dune (2021) by Jsilly — 29 Oct 2021

I watched this for free on hbo and am so glad it was free so I didn't waste money. I am usually one who finds enjoyment in most big budget films. The worst rating I usually give on those is a 6 out of 10 or 3 out of 5.

There is almost always something to enjoy about them. However, I am so confused by the number of great reviews on various sites that I had to write this review so others may see it and save their time and/or money.

This is far from an action movie and what action there is mostly takes place in the dark. It is extremely hard to follow the action due to that and the silly shield effects. By the way, the shields do nothing to actually protect them which is why they are silly.

I have no complaints regarding the acting but that's about it. I spent the entire movie waiting for something more until I realized there wasn't enough time for it to pick up. Slow and boring is how I will describe it to friends who will ask.

Not an action movie, not much of any kind of movie.
