Finally finished the movie. I think I mostly followed it but knowing LITERALLY NOTHING about Dune lore going in I think I should have watched Part 1.
Film is very kino. Well shot. Good action.
The technology is arbitrarily weird and scifi-ey. Why are they using phonographic cylinder shit to record messages? Why are they sword fighting when they have guns? Way too much disbelief required to be suspended in many parts.
I am still not sure why they destroyed the tank of Paul's friend??? what the fuck was that?
Good movie though. Fun to watch if you don't overthink it.
