As my personal opinion, it is wasn’t an entertaining show. Can’t find any connection with the characters, especially the protagonist paul. Trying desperately to mimic a fundamentalist cult of sword and got sprinkled some absurdity called faith, in to the war for power. Some fancy intriguing words such as Mehadi Messsiah, inserted, without having a clue what it was really meant.
I haven’t read the books, maybe that’s why I can’t deeply grasp the character intentions or their motivations. Seems to be loosely coupled with their actions. Invaders from space for oil,(sorry spice), is technically Advanced civilisation, seems to be, still carries swords at the great war on climax. Please don’t forget at start of movie everyone has snipers and laser guns from dragon fly - coptors. But the last war of worlds guns and firepower got wet, may be because of some floods. I forgot to say the war scenes is so amazing in cgi in top-view from miles away.
I can’t believe the hype which it is getting, while comparing some similar piece of work such as scorpion king, I prefer those old war scenes and old CGIs.
