Review of Dune (2021) by Muldjord — 31 Oct 2021

Definitely better than 1984 Dune - but still pretty bland overall. It feels too pretentious to me. There's unfortunately also a lack of character development. They rush through most of them, which makes them feel robotic, motionless. I did like the scenes with Paul and his mom though. That worked well. Apart from that, I was quite bored throughout most of the movie.

But yeah, what bothered me most, was how so many characters got introduced, and if someone decided to turn on their houses in a scene, I just shrugged, because I had no connection with them. I didn't care. A lot of them felt like nothing but plot-carriers.
