I was lucky because I went at the screening in original language (O. V) in a Dolby Atmos room teathre. Two hours and half of CINEMA in every way, Villeneuve is one of the best contemporary authors and directors and the Hans Zimmer's original scores are totally immersive. Every character has the own part in the plot, I have particularly appreciate the deep tie between Paul Atredis and his mother Lady Jessica (Timothèe Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson are perfect and they ricreated the right sintony in their roles) while Chani,portrayed by Zendaya, isn't bad, but she looks a "teenager" , including her behaviour, I hope in a growing up of this character in the next chapter. I have found in the screenplay a message with a kind of autocriticsm and similitudes against the current international political situation, in relation with the real conflict between "West culture" (especially with the American one) and the Middle East.
The scenography is truly amazing and it is a proof that the traditional way to make films, still can conexist in this period where the digital effects dominate the management of the productions. This approach, in some ways, it reminds me what happened 20 years ago with : "The Lord of the Rings trilogy", especially with : "The Fellowship of the Ring". I have the same enthusiasm about the costumes, props making and makeup.
In my humble opinion : "Dune - Part One" could be considered a hybrid between an independent and an entertainment film, certainly is not a film for all. The runtime long need to understand very well the story and the characters, because this it is just a "hors d'oeuvre" (an appetizer). At the end of the film there was a deserved standing ovation.
Now? Crossed the fingers for the sequel.
