Herald of the Change such a cringe performance


I love the sets of this movie, and the costuming, and especially all of the music, but this film suffers by many of the casting choices and their terrible performances.

Herald of the Change starts off so laughably bad, with no force behind his loud proclamation. The other terrible performances is Liet Kynes, 'she' makes me shiver with cringiness at her reprise of the same lines from the 1984 movie when she is inspecting their stillsuits. Should have just left that out, they already showed Paul Atreides studying the stillsuits in his room before they go to Arrakis.

There's much to like about this version, but I find it's mostly just on the visual and audio, but the overall acting and cast choices make me pine for David Lynch Dune.
