Love it. I've been waiting for this movie for 40 years. Read Dune twice when younger and once more just a few months ago. Amazed that this was really just the first half of the first book and there was so much detail left out. This movie could have gone another 1+ hours. My wife was thoroughly confused.

Wife: How many armies are there?

Me: Four. Sardaukar, Atreides, Fremen, Harkonnen...

Wife: Who was the Emporer? 🤦‍♂️...

She enjoyed it but didn't get the whole depth of the story.

Watched on HBO Max. Going to take my 25 yr son to see in IMAX.

Yes! Definitely do the IMAX experience, it's perfect for an epic like this.

I'm definitely going to do a pre-briefing with my wife before we go (her first time). I think that whatever plot turns are spoiled by knowing a bit in advance is less a problem than being too confused.
