So many issues with direction and acting that distracted from an otherwise good production, the final straw was milking us to wait for a sequel. Poorly planned, poorly created. CGI is not enough if weak acting exists with it.
For the record, Dune isn't the beginning point, the beginning was the Princess of Mars which Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune and many others stole the brilliance from Burroughs. The lack of originality without credit to Edgar further demonstrates and justifies a poor rating.
