The depiction of Geidi Prime was a monumental triumph of cinematography. The greyscale was otherworldly, spooky and alien, saved massively on set design costs, and adeptly sent the message that Harkonnen culture is rigidly black and white

"An alien woman in an alien world - she just comes off as Californian."

Sounds like she nailed it.

[cSoZen]

Didn’t completely hate Chani, but it’s just weird that she would rather her people stay oppressed, instead of rallying behind the one person who brought all her people together. Like all she does is cry about the prophecy but doesn’t offer any solutions.

[ummmyeah]

Only 190 mill??? Bro, some garbage movies have higher budgets. Good management there.

[jimmycrackkorn]

Zendaya plays Zendaya just like Michelle Rodriguez always plays Michelle Rodriguez.

[zazzblammywazazz]

Emperor Corrino was like that in the book too, I haven't seen the new movie, but I know the problems with the series and other movies is that they try to paint him as the overarching villain, when really he's being played by Gaius Helen Mohiam and Vladimir Harkonnen. He isn't even an antagonist to Paul, he's just a convenient stepping stone to power, he thinks he is a grand chessmaster but is consistently outplayed. This goes more than double for Princess Irulan, she's barely in the book if you don't count the historian's notes at the start of each chapter which she authored. Anya Taylor-Joy was cast ahead of time, they are definitely planning on doing the sequels if they cast her as Alia. If they thought Dune was unfilmable, wait until they get to God Emperor of Dune.

I’m not a fan of Zendaya. She’s just not a great actress. Serviceable, yes. Decent, maybe. But not great. When I told my brother she was cast as Chani he replied by saying “I don’t know what a Zendaya is.” Pretty much sums it up right there.

[handsomeDRAC]

The visuals in this movie are so natural you don't even think your looking at cgi but rather something alien that was photographed on camera and that's how cgi should look in live action and not like a cartoon.

[johnriley]

Zendaya's only expression the whole movie was a face.

[kevinquinn]

You have to respect Austin Butler for having the balls to take up Sting's codpiece as Feyd-Rautha.

[ThestLumiens]

Big things missing from the books: Paul and Chani lose a child to an assassination attempt by one of the Houses/noble families. Paul's three year old sister is considered as an abomination - as is Paul. The movies completely did away with the 'weirding way' too. However, none of these mattered as much as the wooden acting from Zendaya :(.

[OldGeezerGaming]

Hollywood, quite trying to make Zendaya a thing. She not a good enough actress.

[Invalidcookie-bvcx]

Movies aren't going to get better for years.. because all the trash they green lit are coming up.

[shaneblair-hicks]

Not a false prophesy, but it wasnt supposed to be Paul that was to fulfill it. The breeding program the witches had in place was thrown off when Jessica had a boy to please duke leto.

[chrismartin]

The ending he's referring to is a cringy girl boss scene that was thrown in at the last moment for no apparent reason, in an almost "F U, we got the last word in", way.

[Axvil]

They made Chani either too stupid to understand what was going on, or too much of a narcissi to care.

[TPHN]

Zendaya just plays Zendaya in every movie. Like a Cara Delevingne that seems to blandly fail upward

[MrBenfranz]

Fun Fact: When Jodorowsky assayed to mount a production of Dune in the mid 70's, he had hired H.R. Giger to design the Harkonnen and their home world.

[TutosViolet]

Zendaya can't act. She always brings any project down with her bad acting.

[jbiz]

Your description of Zendaya’s acting is spot on! 😂 I described it as Los Angelos but Californian is close enough
