-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:1]
-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 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:2], 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:3].
-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.

-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:1]: Right after finishing the Witcher saga.
-[^fn:2]: not to brag, but I was a semiprofessional film critic during college years.
-    I had a press pass and all!
-[^fn:3]: 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.
