@Hydrogen. On Dune if you are not a fan of the books, it will be hard to be a fan of the movie. Dune is not similar to Starwars where it was created like a tv soap opera with lasers, spaceships and as a marketing tool for commerical merchandising. Dune was a very good movie and it deserves the nomination for best picture, I reckon.
I'm a fan of David Lynch's
Dune (1984) and the books.
The 2022 rendition of Dune didn't do the story justice. Atreides disembark onto Arrakis decked out in full body armor. When the Harkonnens attack, the Atreides engage them without the body armor they wore earlier, or much in the way of weapons. This is never explained and doesn't make much sense.
The fictional character of Paul Atreides is supposed to have trained as a soldier and leader from a young age, and became very skilled in these areas. The actor selected to portray Paul Atreides in the 2022 Dune film looks like a highly trained accountant. Skilled at writing memos and paperwork. Otherwise, completely useless in terms of what the character is supposed to be.
The scene where palm trees are being watered is silly and ridiculous. Trees and plants would be inside an enclosure like a greenhouse where water and humidity could be trapped and retained. They would never be planted out in the open bleeding moisture. There are small details like this scattered around the film which are anti science. The ornithopter and carry all designs also, although I can't remember exactly what issues I had with those.
I couldn't recommend 2022 Dune as it simply isn't faithful to the spirit of what the Dune genre stands for.
