Let me start by saying I never read the book nor watched the first movie adaptation.
This movie was slow and tedious. I spent the entire film waiting for something to happen until the credits, and I couldn't believe it when it finished. Nothing happened. Absolutely, nothing. I don't even know what have I just seen. After the end, googling about the movie, I found out it was only part 1. The only good thing about this movie was the CGI. There was no story nor character development. Basically, there were "normal" people (House Atreids) that had a hostile relationship with "deep blue eyes" people (Fremen), there were the evil guys (House Harkonnen) just because of their appearance, and there was a much bigger enemy - a giant sandworm in the middle of the desert for no reason, even though one of the characters explained it, but I cannot remember.
Each character's dialogue was poor; they barely said anything and were almost inaudible, making it even harder to understand, even with subtitles. Each character's personality was very shallow, preventing the viewer from empathising with them and adding up a couple of unnecessary character's that just existed to die, like Jason Momoa's character. I couldn't care less about any of them, whether they died or lived. I was surprised they could tell apart their crew from the enemy's in the fighting scenes because the suits were almost identical.
Describe this movie in one word: empty The most memorable thing in this movie: the desert.
I wonder if all the hype and great reviews were because of the CGI and the cast.
This whole movie could be condensed into 50 mins or less for an episode of a tv show.
I am glad I didn't waste my money in the cinema, because it wasn't worth wasting my time streaming it. I was not too fond of the movie nor hated it. I had no feelings whatsoever. Thus the 5/10.
