Having really enjoyed the books when I was younger, I was fully expecting to be disappointed by this movie. Hollywood tends to water stories down and make them accessible to as wide an audience as possible. This one almost requires you to have read the book to appreciate it. If you're a complete dune noob, this movie won't hold your hand. some liberties were taken, but it makes up for it by being absolutely georgus. Do yourself a favor and read the book if you haven't. This movie is only about half of book 1, you still have a chance to relish in the gravity of what you are seeing.
