Dune - watched on HBO. Good cast, good solid performances. Most of the actors, even Jason Momoa, fall into their roles. (It’s not like watching Sting play the Baron’s nephew.) the exception for me is Josh Brolin who always looks like Josh Brolin playing a character to me. Zendaya doesn’t have much screen time or speaking parts until the end.
The visuals are awesome. Soundtrack good. It’s been awhile since I read the book, but it seemed to be following the story well.
Spoilers
There’s a couple of scenes with the Baron that feel like callbacks to Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now. There aren’t any other obvious call backs and maybe this was unintentional, but it took me out of the story.
Bagpipes? In the year 10,xxx? Really?
