I admit that I had some reservations about this Movie, even with Denis Villeneuve at the helm I wasn't sure they were going to pull it off, but they did. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but not that great also because of one Issue towards the end of the Movie.
Dune was always going to be a difficult Film to pull off because it combined Science Fiction (with its Exotic Worlds and Customs) with Politics, and even Religion. However, Villeneuve did a pretty good job overall of telling the Story that could be understood relatively easily despite its complex arcs and nuances.
I particularly loved the Movie's Settings and Visuals, it is supposed to be set around 10,000 A. D. or 8,000 Years into the Future and it does show a World that is strange and yet beautiful, and almost Alien in nature.
My only beef about it was (WARNING, SPOILERS) when one of the Visions of Paul Atreides didn't come true, I ended up looking for the answer why in the internet. I did find a satisfactory answer, but I doubt if most other Viewers would be as much patience about it.
Villeneuve should've been able to tell the Viewers why right in the Movie itself rather than have them look outside for it.
Nevertheless a pretty good Movie overall, Highly Recommended.
