This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.

    The Quantum Magician and The Final Architecture are great space operas in my opinion. They both have really large stakes, a large number of factions and species with varying politics and exciting space combat. They are both incredibly different though.

      I definitely remember them trying to explain it at the beginning of the movie, saying it’s necessary for space travel. The movie is just so information dense it’s easy to miss the details. I read the book years before watching the movie and I feel like I caught the large plot points.

      I will definitely watch it again myself before watching the second.

      I didn’t think the first Dune movie in this series was that good and the reason why was probably as you explained it. I knew there was this rich universe lore behind the series but as someone who hasn’t read the books it didn’t really gel that well or make much sense.

      I think I was expecting something like LOTR or Star Wars and I don’t think we got that.

        You probably expect this comment, but I highly highly recommend reading at least the first book if you haven’t already. There is a reason why there are so many movie adaptations…The book is just THAT good. It’s cheap and reads quick.

      I read the book recently for the first time and then watched the movie. The entire time I thought this is awesome to see these scenes from the book but I would have absolutely o idea what’s going on if I didn’t just read it
