Is Dune all woked up? Been avoided after the last blockbuster could have been wonderful nut they hacked the story with so many “innovations”.

They did get the baron pretty well right and Sting too.

I still can’t get the “tell me of you HomeWorld, Usal.” earworm out of my mind.

The frightening little girl/assasin was a scary cross between It Clown and Wednesday Adams.

No, I wouldn’t say that Dune is “woked up.” It sticks pretty close to the book. Tastes vary, and Dune has never been my cup of tea. (I didn’t care for the books either, back in the day.) But it’s ok. As sci-fi goes, I prefer After Yang and I’m Your Man, both intelligent “soft” sci-fi films involving AI characters. Neither ends up where you think it will; in the back of your mind, peg the reminder that in both films, the humans are the subjects and the AI is basically a mirror). But again, tastes vary.
