Just finished watching Dune 2021.
I should say first that I happen to like both the original film and the miniseries. Also read all the books Herbert wrote about Dune.
The new one is an OK film on its own merits. Production values are lavish and the acting pretty good. However, the film covers only about half of the original book. Ends just as it 's getting interesting, with a lot of things left unresolved. The film has a feel to it like an old an old serial the the local cinema. Overall, I'm pretty underwhelmed.
At this stage it isn't known if another film will be made. I guess it will depend on how well this one does.
