Yes. A better style of movie, that engages in storytelling, and not shallow highlights riffing off the experience of the book, with sufficient razzle dazzle to make people who haven't read the book follow along. The power of Dune is the interwoven plots, not the linear narrative the movie attempts.
It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good.
- Zababa 5y agoI think trying to find the book in the movie is useless, there's already the book for that, and the movie can't really be better at being a book than the book. I don't have many memories of Dune, but I have still strong ones of Hyperion, and I don't think I would ever be satisfied by a movie that attemps to be just the book. On the other hand, I would be fine with Villeneuve adapting it with his usual style (though maybe Hyperion is a bit too organic for his style? It's hard to say). > A better style of movie > It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good. I think it was great.
