Exactly what I thought. The movie is very accurate concerning the story but lacks the impressive depth of the universe created by Frank Herbert in the book.
I like the movie but it does lose a lot by dropping the character’s inner monologues. I totally get why you’d do that for a film adaptation but the book characters are so internal and introspective that you really get a sense of their mental subtlety and the labyrinthine nature of the political landscape that they inhabit. Then also of course is how Paul (and later Leto II) subjectively experience prescience.
I’m hoping that Part Two really delves deeper into the psyches of both Paul and Jessica.
That good huh, maybe i should give the first one a go 🤔
IMO the first one nails the spectacle that one imagines when reading Dune, but struggles to capture the book’s deeper meaning

Very succinct summary, IMO.
