I gave this mess of a film 4 stars simply on the weight of the special effects and cinematography. The worm riding was the best part of the film. The interaction between the main characters are shallow and most often miss the main themes of the source material.
And why did tge director change one of the main plot points? Paul's sister Alia is born early with all the Bene Gesserit powers. She kills Vladimir Harkonin, not Paul. This completely changes the story line, and not in a good way.
I thought the first movie was a snooze fest, but kept telling myself "just wait until Part 2 when all the action happens. " Was I wrong.
I will never trust Denis Villeneuve again.
