Dune: Prophecy

Really interesting show. Half of me thinks it’s very impressive and the other half is kinda meh on it. Can be slow at parts and very repetitive but that fits in line with the 2 Denis movies. Overall, this entire new Dune saga is very strange for me. I know both films are technically really good, but at the same time when I’m watching them I’m kind of indifferent to everything happening. That’s how this show is as well. Still giving it a thumbs up but it’s not gonna crack my top 5 shows of 2024 at all

I honestly think this might be my 'greatest of all time'. I was so uncertain after getting two masterclass movies but this somehow joins the ranks. Dune is one of the only convoluted books I've 'attempted' to read. Headphones on in pitch darkness and it still wasn't enough. The sounds/score tore through me like Shai-Hulud and the designs/vfx satisfied me harder than spice itself. Dune is all about political tactics, religious symbolism, environmental effects, technology, psychology, sociology, and words I can't begin to name. It's illustrious yet prominent to our power-mad reality, and that's why I love it. Flawless casting, with a suspenseful structure. S2 better come soon because there's still so much left uncovered and I just know they can't wait to drop it in later episodes.

Wow, god I love anything Dune related. Such an interesting show and so cool to go into it with all of the knowledge I have from the Dune movies about these families and how things end up in 10,000 years. I hope hbo max keeps feeding me more dune content while I wait for the third movie.

Some things are too far ahead of the time the series is set in. As an alternate universe it would work better and not necessarily be a prequel to the events leading to the birth of Paul Atreides.

I liked it better than the first part.

Didn’t finish
