It had debuted at 95% with 60 reviews so the fact it climbed as the average pool grew is interesting. Im seeing this with my friends at an early showing Sunday night

People can be dumb about reviews but as far as the topic goes I dont think its dumb to observe a new movie is really well-received lol

The melange Spice is as important to their civilization as oil is to ours.

Just watch the thing. It's one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever written, and this is by far the best adaptation of it made.

Imagine Star Wars, but there is no Light Side or Dark Side, and the movies take place in Tatooine only, and to access the Force you have to literally be on drugs that are only produced on Tatooine, and the bad guy is Jabba who has the backing of the Empire.

First movie has a ton of relevant info crammed into a short time. Then the plot starts unfolding while you're still trying to pronounce kwizatz haderach

Its definitely one of those movies where I just didnt "get it". Im glad its got a sequel though because it has a really strong following and seemed it would have been a victim of Covid.

Dune lore is bugnuts insane, and you either vibe with it or don't. I haven't met any gray area friends with the books or the new movie when, funny enough, most of the themes are about the grayness of morality and being wary of messiahs/saviors/heroes lol

But seriously. I've read /all/ the books, and I still feel that consistently Dune Part 1 did absolutely nothing to prepare people for the absolute shitstorm of whacked out lore to come. It'll be hilarious to see, but glad Part 2 isn't divisive because of it.

Spoilers below from the books.

Prescience barely got explained, it seemed like vague dreams until he's screaming about the Jihad. More on that later.
Spice =/= sand, and yet, most of my friends had no idea what was going on with that.
Toddler running around the battlefield is going to be hysterical.
Bene Gesserit eugenics program is going to be beyond confusing.
Leto II should be in it, but probably won't be.
There's going to have to be an enormous amount of political exposition. Spacing Guild, Landsraad, Padishah Emperor, to name a few. Orange Catholics after the presumable time jump from the...
Jihad. It is going to be difficult to squeeze in a galaxy spanning conquest where trillions die without some ridiculous editing magic to get the point across.

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."

Rewatching the first movie. Oscar Isaac is so cool as Leto. Kind of a white savior character but I think that trope is challenged in the sequel and / or 3.

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.
