Review of Dune

I thought this movie was pretty good. About 30 minutes should have been cut to speed up the plot. It's a story we've seen before, but cinematography still makes it compelling. Son of a duke , Paul, is forshadowed as being the leader of the Freman whom will rule the universe. He has some kind of special powers inherited from his mom. His father is set up by the emperor to move to a new world and overtake the harvesting of spice. The emperor really wants him to fail because he fears his popularity. The previous rulers invade and wipe out a lot of the Atreides people. Of course Paul survives as well as his mom and they join the Fremen at the end. Set up perfect for a sequel.
