Just got back from watching Dune2. I had seen many reviews over the last two weeks saying it is the best science fiction film ever, as good as seeing Empire strikes back for the first time. Sadly I don’t think this is the case. I didn’t not enjoy it, but didn’t love it like most seem to. I have read the books many years ago and there was lots I didn’t recognise from the story, and a great deal of extra emphasis on religion, myths, walking without purpose and stabbing servants and officers. If it was an hour shorter and less on witchy voices, showing how sandy the planet is, and riding big worms that you can’t see, by the way how do you stop and get off?, it would be a better and more enjoyable film. As said I didn’t hate it but the hype is crazy, and for me this isn’t in my top ten sci fi films and I love sci fi films and books.
