otm. they did put part 1 back in theaters briefly, but at least in my area it was over & done with a week or two before part 2 came out, so there was no chance to double feature them, which was frustrating.

I finally saw Dune part 1 on an airplane, surely not the ideal viewing configuration, but it exceeded my somewhat modest expectations. I loved the book as a young sci-fi fan, and enjoyed the Lynch film. This version is perhaps better. It does a good job of finding the core of the story and building suspense in the right places. The pacing seemed about right. It wasn't as ponderous as I had been led to believe.

here was actually surprisingly little up-close spice-related action or even conversation

Saw the first film on Netflix a couple of days ago. Initial thought is this would've annoyed me if there was no sequel. It literally fucking stops.
Will watch the followup if it's still playing somewhere. Imagine waiting years for this. Not me mate

The music in the first film is probably the closest I can think of to a film using the score as pure sound effects.

I finally finished this and was surprised that Feyd was not also a skarsgard, because the actor was doing a pretty good skarsgard impression, and made me wish Jessie Armstrong had adapted Dune as the next season of Succession.Also, House Skarsgard sounds like a credible Dune faction.
