Feedback: I thought that this was a very epic movie to watch. The writing does keep it deep into the adaptations, the old movie and the mini-series.

I'm getting a lot of tense and vibration towards these characters and actors did excellent work, the sad thing is that they can get killed off so easily. Timothee Chalamet as the main character, Paul Atreides, is my favorite. He has been going through so much misery and anquish, which is pretty depressing and intense at the same time.

Both the music score and sound design is clean, thus it brings the audience attention of what could happen to these characters.

As I said it is epic, the camera movements and long shots are huge to watch the locations and props were designed.

It would be a little bit stronger if the movie looked at relationships about Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and Chani.

Overall, it was a very excellent film to watch.
