At its best moments it's almost a mockumentary of a distant yet familiar civilization. Something Wernon Herzog would've filmed. At its average moments it's just a high quality space opera movie made by a talented and experienced director. And I'm telling all this as a person who didn't like the books.

Sounds pretty good tbh. All I'm hoping for is really impressive visuals and a plot that is not annoying.

It is like a bland version Star Wars. Even the visual style is very similar.

I thought Lynch did a better job with the internal monologues and Spicediver's recut does an excellent job making his movie into an easy view.

The only thing I didn't like is how generic [u]some[/u] of the visual elements look like. I guess I understand why they chose this minimalist style - because both Lynch and Sci-Fi guys went for the pompous, detailed and decorated space fantasy style, so they needed something different and fresh; and probably because of Villeneuve's own aesthetic inclinations. Sometimes it works - mostly in vehicle design - the ships, the harvesters look very fine. But the less the scale, the more generic the design becomes. Ornithopters show the first signs of that, and the armor if completely generic. Straight out of some guy's ArtStation or DeviantArt page, or from some Korean mobile game. The desert suits are just bike suits with trinkets and running shoes and "tactical" gloves. I'm sorry for the rude language, but these "designs" just suck ass. Even on the aforementioned sites one could find much better designs.
But the worst offenders are without a doubt emblems. I'm not asking for majestic and complex coats of arms, but what they have in the film is some freaking sportswear brand logo made in ten minutes. RTS games back in 99 had it better.

i didn't like the howling sound effect. When Zendaya on screen some woman starts shouting AYAaAAAAA-aaayaaaaaa-AYYYYAAAAaAAAAAAAAAAA
it was very distracting. i wanted to find her and punch her, for ruining the movie
it was like this

I disliked that, too.
Overall I think the film was very good. But virtually every one of my favourite scenes was in the first half, before the Harkonnen attacked the desert city and I think they could have just made the movie 90 minutes with all the good stuff and avoided it being too long.
Very awesome visuals, set design, costumes, etc. But the story was a bit underwhelming and in the second half very little interesting happened.

I would say the music was very high quality overall, I just didn't really appreciate the desert-HAAAAAAAAing. I recently read about this film music trope and was very sensitive to it, too, so that might have been an issue.

Well, to be honest, a lot of great Renaissance masters also worked like this. Why waste time on boring parts of your fuckhuge painting when you should focus on the details while someone else from your studio fills in the blanks elsewhere.
In the end the effort is too big to do it alone & being able to find the right people for each specific part of your puzzle is itself an art.
