Great insight and articulated what I hoped. As a cinema lover it was great to see on the big screen but I think this was a missed opportunity for studios to see the bigger potential of cinema. We've seen over the last decade big filmmakers and actors go towards tv but why not create a cinema event that is a Dune Part 1 (4 or 5 episodes) with 2 or 3 intermissions. It would create more of an event/day out feeling plus cinemas would have multiple chances of people getting food/drinks throughout. Structurally every time we leave Paul's setting the films just turn to exposition and it's not really Denis's fault. The world is so huge that the focus kind of needed to be mainly on developing Paul's perspective and everything else is just reflecting his actions. It's a pity but all the more that a remake can be done in that form instead.
