Etc. My biggest gripe with Part 1 was basically "Here are the Houses, this is Spice, this is Arrakis, Paul has dreams, stay tuned for Part 2."

Yeah I am honestly super confused about all the praise it got. Have you watched Part 1 with someone who never read the books or saw the old movie (or Sci-Fi Miniseries)? They literally have no idea what is going on because nothing is explained. Why aren't there computers or AI? What's the deal with the witches? Is the religion real? Barely anything about the setting is explained and I guess somehow we have to believe Part 2 will fix this?

Also I am feeling this will be yet another case where the director doesn't get it and Paul is somehow a literal Messiah and savior and not space Hitler.
