"Dune"

I love Frank Herbert's "Dune," but it's been 50 years since I last read it (hard to believe). Plus, I'm not a big fan of Timothée Chalamet. Would the new movie by director Denis Villeneuve satisfy me? (I made sure to choose an IMAX theater for maximum boom.) 

The answer is yes! The world of Arrakis, as I hazily recalled it, brought to life through movie magic! Timothée Chalamet is adequate. I don't know how he'll do in Part 2, when he has to launch a universe-wide jihad, but all he had to do in Part 1 was avoid getting killed and he seemed up to that.
