+
+I'd like to call myself a Dune fan, but I am not.
+I have finished my Dune adventure on /Heretics/ and only now am I planning to finish the saga[fn:witcher]
+Though, I think this still puts me well above most people calling themselves fans now.
+I loved eveything I've read, but I have never reached the end.
+
+/Dune: Part 1/ is the second movie based on the 1956 Frank Herbert's classic SciFi epic.
+Well, it is not.
+It is the third attempt to show the first half of the book.
+There was the David Lynch verion (which I adore) and there was a TV Series.
+There were also games, but only two of those have any resemblance to the plot of the book.
+So yeah, Dune was considered impossible to transfer to any other medium.
+Sadly, I still have to agree.
+
+I think everybody (and their dogs) know what /Dune/ is about but:
+/Dune/ is a story of distant future, where all powerful houses rule the known universe.
+The technological progress was halted thousands of years ago, after a thinking machines raged a war against humanity.
+After their defeat it was forbidden to create such machines.
+Arrakis (aka Dune) is a sand planet, the only known source of /Spice/ - a narcotic allowing humans to traverse time, and therefore spaceflight.
+Spaceships are operated by mutated humans, who after exposure to Spice can see into the future and steer the ships.
+Now, the Emperor orders the control of the planet to be shifted to th House of Atreides.
+The previous stewards, House of Harkonen will not make it any easier.
+
+Ignoring the mutants, this sounds like a run-of-the-mill SF series.
+But /Dune/ It is also story of social engineering spanning millennia, of false prophets, and a million other crazy things.
+The first book keeps it /almost/ sane, but there is a significant dictionary attached, and the first time reader will need to use it extensively.
+Later the saga goes completely off the rails.
+We'll get back to this.
+
+Note, that /Frank Herbert/ wrote only the first few books.
+After his death, his son - /Brian Herbet/ took over and wrote dozens of other ones.
+The quality differs significantly, as I've been told.
+I've read the /Houses/ trilogy, and it was quite nice.
+
+Now that we've got the introduction out of the way, let's go to the movie.
+Let me start with saying that I adore it.
+It's not what I'd want (as the young vloggers say "hear me out"), but at face value it's as close to perfect SF movie as they go.
+
+/Dune: Part 1/ is directed by Denis Vileneuve, who previously directed some of the greatest SF movies of this century - /Arrival/ and /Blade Runner 2049/.
+His other movies are also amazing (I can't recommend /Enemy/ enough), so I was pretty stoked when it was announced that he will direct /Dune/.
+I am no longer a movie buff[fn:critic], but he may very well be my favorite living director.
+
+Technically, I can not find any fault with the movie.
+The story makes sense (I'll return to Lynch in a second), which by itself is an achievement.
+The acting is superb, and works as a reminder that TV series are still not on the level of the greatest movies.
+The special effects are astounding[fn:ornitopter].
+The music is, for the most part, at least great.
+I hated the main theme with screaming lady.
+Music is supposed to work with the movie, not to hide it with loud noises!
+But that's the only thing I disliked.

+Have mentioned how amazing this movie looks?
+#+end_img-c
+
+I loved the tempo of this movie, as I never enjoyed action-packed shoot fests of the /other franchise dominating cinema for decades/.
+Everything is slow - the actors speak slowly, the scene have time to breath, the camera is moving on a low gear.
+Even things fall down slowly!
+This adds an amazing dream-like feeling to most scenes.
+Sometimes I felt like I'm watching a /Tarkovsky/ movie and not a big budget Hollywood blockbuster.
+
+And this the greatest and worst thing here.
+It's meditative.
+You feel like yoy are in a trance.
+You fully buy accept you see here.
+
+But the world of Dune is weird.
+It is full of things that make you go "huh?".
+It has mutants who traverse time, but it also got mutants who are computers.
+There are reanimated corpses, living furniture, hollow planets, vision quests.
+Denis omitted everything that was not essential to the plot, and what he left, he grounded in reality by omitting the /wtf/.
+There are not even the crazy names!
+Some strange things he left, but they are shown without explanation.
+It's just there, without any context.
+But, to be fair - context would only add confusion.
+
+But this is where /Lynchs/ version shines.
+It makes little sense, it is rushed - sure.
+But it conveys how twisted the world is.
+It's not a trace, it's a full on narcotic trip straight out of some hippie story.
+
+And this is why I don't think that this movie is a /great/ adaptation of Dune.
+It is a /great/ movie on its own.
+It perfectly adapts the adaptable and pretends that there is nothing else.
+It makes /Dune: Part 1/ the hit that it is, and it allowed us to get /Part 2/.
+But since making this move appeal to mass audience is not my problem, I'd like to see the full picture.
+
+It'd also like to see the world less cold.
+The architecture is devoid of heart, it's brutalistic.
+It looks amazing (I think I mentioned that), but the crazy colors and abstract layouts we see in Lynch version is something else.
+It's a Vileneuve style.
+It looks exactly like his previous movies - it's controlled, clean, /cold/.
+As much as I loved it in his other works, I'm not sure if it fits the degenerate houses we meet.
+
+But that's just me.
+As it stands, this is a groundbreaking movie which makes me want more.
+Not only more of /Dune/ but more of serious, intelligent SciFi movies.
+We had those and may get more!
+
+It's better in any conceivable way compared to all previous attempts at adapting the source material, and I think all my nitpicks are kina moot.
+It fits 2024 esthetic and it's crazy intelligent.
+
+Highest recommendation from me.
+4.75/4
+
+And, hey!
+Sardukars no longer look like welders!
+
+[fn:witcher] Right after finishing the Witcher saga.
+[fn:critic] not to brag, but I was a semiprofessional film critic during college years.
+I had a press pass and all!
+[fn:ornitopter] Ornititopthers look just like in the /Dune/ game!
+This strangely works with how believable everything is.
+All flying ships have this strange physics, which I have hard time explaining.
+They are not like you X-Wings, but they fit the world.
