“Dune” (** out of four) was a hollow adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel/remake of David Lynch’s 1984 cult classic about the son (Timothy Chalamet) of a wealthy and noble family who is entrusted with the protection and vitality of the earth’s galaxy and encounters various mentors (Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaacs, Josh Brolin, and others) and villains (Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and others) along the way. Director Denis Villeneuve enhances many stylish and hypnotic visuals to keep you engaged but with nothing to hang them on since the story, script, and characters are still so dull. About on par with Villeneuve’s reboot of “Blade Runner 2049” although in fairness this is marginally more watchable than the 1984 original.
