Trivia
David Lynch, director of the previous Dune (1984), stated that he has "zero interest" in the new movie. He cited that his issues have nothing to do with director Denis Villeneuve but with his own painful memories of making the 1984 version: "Because it was a heartache for me. It was a failure and I didn't have final cut. I've told this story a billion times. It's not the film I wanted to make. I like certain parts of it very much - but it was a total failure for me."

Goofs
Despite several mentions of the intensity of the sun on Arrakis, no character ever wears any eye protection.

Quotes
Lady Jessica Atreides: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past... I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Crazy credits
As a prologue at the start of the film, a Sardaukar priest chants "Dreams are messages from the deep", as it is subtitled onscreen.

For a first part, it is an outstanding sci-fi movie

Visually beautiful, narratively well constructed, good interpretations by the actors and actresses, and a new sci-fi world ready to be explored and expanded in a second movie.

Excellent movie. That is all I have to say. Well done to all the cast, director, writers and team behind this treasure.
