I walked out. I just don’t get it.

I’m not trying to be an asshole at all. I love sci fi and I consider myself a major nerd (in a good way). But I just don’t get these movies. I fell asleep in the theater during the first. My wife and my son too.

But I retained the gist of the information and was excited about part 2 due to the rave reviews. So we bought tickets and expected to enjoy it. But about 2/3 into the movie we looked at each other and said let’s just go. I’ve only walked out of a handful of very bad movies in my life.

I’m sorry yall but this was the most boring thing I’ve ever seen. What am I missing? Is it because I’m not a fan of the books? I’ve never read them.

Absolutely agree, what a bore fest, both part 1 and part 2. Don't get all the positive critic and audience reviews :(

Remember that Herbert wrote Dune high as a kite on mushrooms. So unless you're stoned or high you might have difficulties enjoying Dune.

"I fell asleep in the theater during the first. My wife and my son too"

will never believe someone who says that....... the audio is so loud in a theater that it is impossible to fall a sleep.
