Dune (2021)
Disappointing and far away from the original...
How could so many people give so good ratings??? I don't get it.
The 1984 version was pretty enjoyable, with great visual and atmosphere, and strong sequences, both in great scale and close parts. And a mysterious original feeling around it, at that time.
This one, although having some pretty nice visual elements, completely lacks souls and feelings, and is just totally flat and annoying.
The story looks inconsistent, irregular, with the usual required parts that plagues almost all modern movies today, and all is slow and lacks dimensions. Villains are meh and far beyond the original villains. No good movie if the villain is mediocre...
What a waste. It's really disappointing, because we have soooo many good actors there. I was hoping for so much more. :(
Strip the Cosmos (2014)
Scientifically mediocre at best
The science presented here is at the tabloid journalism level.
Very limited, often partial or false (in the sense that only the sensational info is given, without any explanations or nuance, or more global view).
As mentioned by others, the narrator tone adds to this surface only description.
The visuals are cool though, although going too much to the extreme.
My advice: find the good old Carl Sagan Cosmos series if you want a TV series, read some books or watch some YouTube science channel (like from Sabine Hossenfelder for example), but avoid this one.
