Breathtaking cinematography, brooding atmosphere, hamfisted dialogue. Plot feels disjointed and flat, scenes have no weight, characters lack arcs or human qualities.
Entire scenes go by one after another and you get lost wondering if a random detail is important to the story or just there to make the characters look cool or something.
You could argue that is just the way that book was written, but I've seen this in everything I've watched from Villeneuve.
Some damn good casting though - I suspect everyone in Hollywood wants to get involved in one of the few big filmmaker projects remaining - It's either this or Marvel movies these days.
Did not impress me in any way, but it's a good (yet overhyped) movie. Will see part 2 and will probably remain the best version of Dune put on screen.

Meh.
Denis Villeneuve on par for the course.
