They still haven’t gotten a Dune movie right in my opinion. There’s action in it, but I think of it more as a drama. I thought Villeneuve split the book into two movies so he could include more dramatic scenes from the book, but he didn’t really. It’s a gorgeous movie and I love the soundtrack, but I expected more. I think Star Wars still has influence over what people think a “space movie” should be like.
At this point I feel like I will never see the Dune adaptation I envision unless I make it myself.
