So much of Dune takes places inside the characters heads that’s hard to translate to video. The original movie tried to use voiceovers to deal with this but it didn’t work very well.
The best part of Dune (the original book) is that Herbert built his world, his universe, his history with so few words. He did it through implication and just a few prompts, making his readers fill in the (vast) blanks.
Dune, more than most novels, is a forced exercise of the imagination.
A lesser writer would have lost himself in endless exposition.
