    I’ll expand. The new movies are good but they’re just… Bland? Generic sci-fi with no pizazz IMHO. Lynch version is flawed AF but it was a superior sci-fi movie.

    I’ll die on that cross.

      Dune as a whole is bland, generic sci-fi. Ok, I guess that’s unfair. When it was written, it was groundbreaking and unique, but it was so good that over time it’s tropes have been reused again and again in other sci-fi. So from a modern perspective, it all feels generic.

      I also found them boring. I watched the first one in the theater and remember thinking it was decent but when I rewatched it before the second one came out I ended up shutting it off halfway through. I tried watching the second one and did the same thing.
