As nicely as I can put it "Dune" is the most boring movie I have seen in 80+ years of movie going! I have a feeling that unless you have read the book it is based upon you will be as lost as I was after the first 30 minutes of this 2 hour and 35 minute film. I was so bored I had no desire to even try to figure out what the story was about!
Yes, it is filled with special effects but after the sand shifting and/or swallowing up people what seems every 2 minutes it gets boring! What is outstanding is the musical for at least the first half hour and then it becomes just loud noise.
There are a few spots where subtitles are used and I wish they had been used throughout the movie.
On the plus side are a lot of the cast members such as Josh Brolin, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem among others and though Timothee Chalamet has that sad, confused look down pat he really doesn't have much else to portray.
Oh yes, besides the cast, the first special effects, the beginning 30 minutes of soundtrack music the other plus is the 'praying mantis' look of the airplanes.
There is a part 2 being produced now and I will NOT be there to see it!
