I Found David Lynch's Lost 'Dune II' Script

While I agree, I'd say the merit to the new Dune film is as an excellent example of ambient film - think of it less as a film in which things must happen and more of the waves at the beach - calming and tranquil, mostly, an occasional freak wave to keep you on your toes.

(Yes, I think it was solidly average otherwise and arguably the most boring of Villeneuve's work if watched conventionally).

But Dune is very much a story where many things do happen, intricate things that have a lot of text and subtext.

The tone you describe is at odds with the story it presents (and its run time).

But dune is also a world that I grew up imagining, and the movie does an effective job of letting me visit for a few hours

I agree that the story is lacking! But the world feels real

Oh the world and the characters in my head from when I read it are much more interesting. I will keep this in mind for when (if) I watch the 2nd one tho.

I agree, I don't think it's a particularly interesting Dune film. One could say my perspective is a 'cope'.

Maybe, but in that case wouldn’t you be more interested in another, more intimate/human movie?
