I watched the film, it was better than Dune 84 in my opinion! What an amazing film and the book references along with themes we see in our world as well. No spoilers in my review but I will say this Dune 84 was a two part film technically. On VHS, it was two seperate tapes. I can see why Villenueve wrote part 1 with part 2 in the works. He did it like a tribute to Lynch's Dune 84. When you watch it you see a some what similar connection, but wow!!! I want to watch this again and again! Villenueve hit a home run with this movie!! The drop off ending an issue?? Really??? Its not a drop off lets say that.
Most Scifi films even Alien or whatever are tough to watch and you get bored easily, most don't really explain too well how things happened precisely. This film does not lack emotion despite what people have said. It is building it up. The movie is Paul Atreides, it seems to have a life of it's own. It is truly Dune 10/10!!
