I really, really wanted to see it on the big screen (ditto Eternals and In the Heights and Black Widow and....) but I have no idea when we're going to go to the theatre ever again. I think it probably definitely suffers from being on a small screen; I'm jealous of the people who saw it in IMAX.
It was....sssssssslloooooow. Slow and Deliberate and Srs Bsns is about right. I also thought it was very monochrome, but that could have been our TV set. The colour scheme seemed very....cold a lot of the time? But again, TV set.
Someone pointed out to me that (spoilers) gur enprorag (naq bar traqrefjnccrq) punenpgref -- Yrgb, Yvrg Xlarf, Wnzvf naq Qhapna Vqnub -- nyy qvrq, juvpu vf n ohzzre. I hope in Part 2 the increased number of Fremen means that kind of thing won't happen again. -- Also the fatphobia and grotesqueness of the Baron was toned way DOWN for this movie, the Lynch version had him looking like a pustulant hot-air balloon. I think the miniseries at least gave him fewer facial boils.
