*MILD SPOILERS FOR THE NEW DUNE MOVIE*

I just came from watching Dune! I was surprised by how faithful it was to the book - I thought it would try to incorporate some more action so that it would pander to the part of the audience a shorter attention span than those who read epic fantasy/sci-fi on a regular basis, but it didn't. Instead, it put dramatic music over every single scene, no matter how mundane. Every. Single. Scene. Ah well. I liked basically every other part of it, and I think Rebecca Ferguson deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of Jessica, especially the panic attack she had when she was waiting for the Reverend Mother to test Paul. I didn't like how Zendaya was hyped as such a big part of the movie, then barely appeared at all. Yeah, that's about it. I think it was a well-spent two-and-a-half hours.
