Dune Part 1 is fine if you've read the book. Even the previous movies struggle on this account. There's a lot of world building that translates to pretty CGI but not television as a story telling format. This rendition cut more exposition than most and it shows.

If you view the Lord of the Rings through a critical lens, you get the mostly same result mostly for the same reason.
