What's been said
Critics and audiences largely embraced the film as a visually stunning and immersive adaptation of the first half of Frank Herbert's novel.
Its breathtaking visuals, cinematography, and epic sense of scale were consistently lauded.
The most common complaint was its incomplete narrative, ending abruptly as only the first half of the book.
Stellan Skarsgård, who played Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, spent over 80 hours in the makeup chair for his role, accounting for almost 30% of his total time working on the movie.
