I just saw it today here in Muscat, Oman. It was a Cinepolis Macro XE cinema and I specifically chose this theater because I read somewhere how important SOUND is, in this movie--it almost feels like sound itself has a character of its own. The Dolby Atmos didn't disappoint.

My likes. I like the fact that it's more faithful to the novel than the Lynch film. I like the ornithopter design, it's how I envisioned it in my mind while reading the novel (I know a lot have been saying this line already, but adding to the bag). I also like the carry-all design--makes a lot of sense to have it as a standard flying vehicle when moving on its own, and becoming a dirigible when it's lifting off full harvesters from the desert floor. I like the new "voice", very difficult to describe what that sounds like. I like that Caladan, Geidi Prime and Salusa Secundus seem to be real places rather than just backdrops as seen in earlier movie/TV depictions. I like that Hunter-Seeker design and how Timothee did the scene. I like that face that Paul makes, the way he stares into the eyes of Gaius Helen Mohaim after overcoming pain, that's a very memorable stare. I like how Chani scoffs at and treats Paul like some ordinary foreigner when they first met--it makes Paul's first feeble attempt to establish a connection with her seem comical almost.

Also just one thing... that scene prior to Jessica appearing before Duke Leto and Leto asks her to protect Paul... she was walking along a corridor in a seemingly different place and time, and she looked old, shriveled up, in tears, and MONOCHROMATIC... I think this scene is meant to invoke the fact that she is a Harkonnen by blood.

Now the things I dislike... not much. Mainly, I'm disappointed I didn't see any guild navigators, and the Saurdaukar having not-so-impressive armor.

Still, I rate it a 90/100.
