Despite the wonderful effects, costumes, and art direction, this version of Dune is littered with slow pacing, wooden acting, and unnecessary scenes that should have been cut, like the 30 min action sequence featuring Jason Momoma, which was not in the book and was not needed for the story to progress. Also, this is possibly the worst score Hans Zimmer has ever created. There is no stand out theme. It's a mix of sound effects and meditational with a dash of electronic bag pipes! What in Shai hulud's name was he thinking?! It all makes for an interesting, but very flawed movie.
