I am not going to get into the deep lore of the Dune series, but I really dug the recent remake/reboot of the Dune movie. The movie easily flows from scene to scene with amazing landscapes and worlds. It is an amazing sight to see. Unlike the first movie, the new movie has a diverse cast, and it fits with the cultures of the universe. It makes complete sense here to see black and Asian people in major roles.
It is like all the bad choices the Lynch movie did were fixed for the newer movie. Somehow, director Denis Villeneuve manages to mix style and storytelling masterfully. This is something Tim Burton could learn from. I am looking forward to the second movie.
-The worms look much cooler: The new design looks like the covers for the books, with haunting darkness to them.
- Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho: Damn, they really did a better job with this character than in the Lynch movie. Duncan goes out like a little bitch in the first movie. Here, he dies in an epic fashion and fulfills his destiny.
-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen: This version of the Baron seems to be more based on a mafia boss than a pig-like creature with shit oozing from his face. The Baron here is more willing to kill his victims himself than the other one.
