Different planets are fighting over an important natural resource. Kid of a super important family is Neo Skywalker. Now it definitely felt unfinished but you get the general gist of everything if you're paying attention. Basically, I don't know what was missing and I felt like I understood the general conflict + heroes journey they laid out. And that's all probably true! But as someone who had no idea about Dune going in, the story made sense. I think a lot of you that have read the books, seen the other movies, and are generally huge fans are understandably going to pick out what was missing that you think really fleshes out the lore, the story, characters, etc. And he thought he could turn it around so he took a chance, because if he manages to turn it around it'd cement his house as the top house.ДЇor more details on other factions see my previous post: He thought they were just sent there to fail and nothing more. Leto already knew this was a conspiracy, but he didn't imagine the extent of it. The reason why he has the Atredis move to Arrakis is so that they are in a vulnerable and weak position. The Emperor has no son, so he fears that the Atredis will take a play for the throne by having an Atredis marry his daughters and that he won't be able to do anything because of their popularity. So he plans a conspiracy where the Harkkonen do his dirty work (as Harkkonen and Atredis have had a family died for centuries) and empowers them with his elite forces, because Atredis are getting more popular than the Emperor and are gaining military power as well. The Emperor can't directly attack a house or take sides in conflicts between houses. That fat dude is Baron Vladimir Harkkonen, he is so fat that he can't walk or move without assistance and has a belt thingy that makes him levitate. Harkkonen are the richest, like the Lannisters, because they control spice production and distribution. Think of the Emperor as the King from Game of Thrones and the houses like Atredis and Harkkonen as Stark and Lannisters. The current ruling house is called Corrino and has been in power for 10,000 years. They are basically a quasi feudalistic society where the emperor has several houses serve under him. It's like he expects you to read up on the lore yourself. It's an interesting concept Villeneuve really should've pointed out if he doesn't want to explain that much. How would I know that dart showing up in a hologram is trying to kill Paul? How would I know how it works, that it doesn't sense heat or light or whatever? I hear there's some explanation in the Dune universe why technology is different than what you would expect, because thinking machines were banned and all. I just feel more things needed to be spelled out so I can actually understand the universe, and appreciate the story being told in that universe. And I guess he saved a servant, which is a cool character moment, but I didn't catch that either in Villeneuve's rendition. I guess the dart reacted to movement, because they actually spell that out in the Lynch film. There was a lot of weird stuff in the movie, so I didn't gather that he was in any sort of danger. I had no idea what was going on in Villeneuve's version. The scene where Paul is almost killed by some sort of dart thing.

At least the audio + visuals were great.Д®dit: One more thing I thought about after absent-mindedly watching the Lynch film last night: There are no words to describe Jason Momoa's character other than 'strong soldier'. On the other hand the characters are pretty one-note by any standard.

It may be that I'm just too used to TV shows by now, and that I really wanted Dune to match the character work that Game of Thrones would do over a 10-hour season before killing anyone off.

If the movie was a big hit, they could've just as well done a trilogy. It could still have been a long-ass movie, but then more time would've been spent setting up the lore and characters, which is what I enjoyed. The movie peaks in the middle, and I have to wonder if they couldn't have just ended it there.

It doesn't help that way more dramatic developments than the actual ending of the movie take place an hour before the end. I don't care about this sword or these visions or some random angry desert person getting killed - at least not enough to justify this sort of dramatic acting/directing. But the truth is, I don't care about any of these characters. continued with all of its dramatic pauses, staring, slow talking, and it really wanted me to feel like every single detail of the story was a massive big deal. Then shit hit the fan before I felt I had gotten to know any of the characters properly. Completely new to Dune, really enjoyed the opening hours because of the degree of mystery, it felt very promising.
