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.
Thanks for your comments, now I may well give them a try. Very few real insights in most film reviews.
