**Slow and empty**
Do yourself a favour and go watch the Dune mini series from 2000 and then the Children of dune mini series from 2003. More story, more substance. Unless you are concerned primarily with visuals of course, which is all this movie wins in. The two miniseries are a better depiction of the stories in the books, whereas this film is extremely empty and slow and boring.
Even though part 2 is coming out, pat one was a wasted opportunity to really root the series. Unfortunately that didn't happen here so your best bet is to read the books or go and watch the two mini-series mentioned above between 2000 and 2003.
