Shame, as the book had some timeless quotes.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

" Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.”

“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”

“He who controls the spice controls the universe.”

“The people who can destroy a thing, control it.”

“Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and it has power"

“Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new.”

"respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality" (something modern society has cast aside)

That WAS in the movies ...

“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.” - and I remember hearing this one but maybe I'm wrong, lol.

Or do you mean they were not made in a memorable way? And they were more casually put out there.

I remember that being in there. Great quote.

I recently watched the movie on HBOMax and those quotes are indeed in the movie. Still, the movie is missing something. When I was growing up, I was a book nerd and the Dune series was/is one of my all-time favorites. The books describe the world largely from the POV of Paul Atreides, but in the movie, he is just one character of many (until the end), and a wooden one at that. I just didn't feel any connection with the character the way I did with the books. The one character that resonated with me was Jason Mamoa as Duncan Idaho, but he is a secondary character and dies halfway through the movie.

This movie is definitely better than the one made in the 1980s. They really put their work in on the CGI and scenes of desert landscapes and wormsign felt realistic and drew me in, but wasn't enough to overcome the lack of compelling characters. Also, unlike the original Star Wars trilogy, or the Lord of the Rings, I think one needs to have read the source material to appreciate this movie.

Overall, I think it is a good movie (if you have read the books), but not a great movie..

"The Sleeper must awaken"
"Traveling without moving"

More muscle. But it was a great movie and now they need to hurry and make the second one.

Yeah, it felt like someone let all the air out of it.

i thought they would at least make that "Fear is the mind-killer" line more memorable in the movie.

reply

Yeah it puzzled me how at the end he’s already telling everyone all his plans like using the fremen as his army and marrying the princess, but wouldn’t a better ending be him becoming Muad’dib?

They killed all the mystery of the fremen In one 5 second blurb “oh yeh the fremen? There are probably millions of them and they got a shit load of water stored…” lol
