fanboy of the source material. this is my favorite sf series of all time. it's the definitive. also a fan of the original movie.

this. and it was unnerving, because i had so much angst watching, like, ok, this needs to do numbers so they can keep it moving. wasn't a lot of jokey jokey shit which is a big part of most blockbuster sf movies, in between all teh splosions.

there was a LOT of exposition. which was cool. my wife found it helpful. but then again, the books had a shitload of exposition in the wya of historical documents at the opening of chapters.

the ornithopters were so dope. and villanueve did a great job going analog on everything (all the switches and shit - they prolly had vacuum tubes). no overt reference to the butlerian j*had but that was cool to me.




peace & blessings,
