Believe the hype. Dune is the real deal. IMAX is the only way to see it (I saw it on the 8 story IMAX, the biggest in North America). Every frame of this is beautiful. This is what you go to the movies for. It's a complex story about colonialism, politics and betrayal. But it has a very human story about family and accepting yourself (as well as your destiny) at the center of it. Please go see this ASAP so we can get Part Two as this is only the first half of the story. I can't wait to see this again with friends.

Really the only thing preventing this from being a masterpiece is it's only the first half of the story.

Also, while a lot of people give George Lucas shit for stealing from this, George RR Martin took almost all of Game of Thrones from this.
