Yeah, I agree, everything about it is very beige and in retrospect I didn't understand all the negativity towards the David Lynch version when it turns out the story is indeed dull and it wasn't his fault he just tried to make it look interesting.
I feel like the books inspired people differently 40-50 years ago, now it just runs through the
same standardized film industry like any other Sci-Fi film.
Maybe it's more for the Harry Potter/ Lord of the Rings crowd and people who use the word lore a lot.

Just watched Dune Pt1. Unpopular opinion perhaps but what a fucking snooze fest. Every scene was exactly the same, the plot makes zero sense (OK, exposition/setting things up but even so…)
It’s just a weird mash up of Star Wars/Lord of the Rings/Prometheus. Seen it alllll before…
And yet another film where key points of the plot are fucking mumbled AND whispered. Absolutely infuriating.
That was a real struggle to get through.
(Best bit for me was the Emporer dude looked like Syd Barrett when he’d got really fat and gone batshit. And I quite enjoyed him floating around like Vic Reeves in the Masterchef sketch. But I don't think I was supposed to be laughing)
