i'm one of those people.

seems like it was made specifically for people that enjoyed the source material and just wanted a lot of "dune".

i just wanted a cool sci-fi flick that wasn't too much up its own ass with boring moments like the untold amount of visions of zendaya's character as if to remind everybody she's also in the movie but only actually shows up for the last 10 minutes.

maybe 2 will be better(or more fun).

I get that. It, and the visions of Jamis (in another timeline) were made to illustrate prescience without talking about it. A big theme of the book, but understated in the movie. Paul can see timelines and outcomes, but it's up to him to realize what actions lead him to what vision. For a little further spoilers, this paralyzes him and he ultimately decides to do nothing after the Jihad. It is up to his sons to follow the "golden" path.

You see him and Jamis be friends and wise together, but it doesn't happen. You see him meet Zendaya and realize that'll happen (it does) but how, and why, is ambiguous. It's cool, but also boring.
