Dune (2020)

What's with the whole obsession in the story's world with spice? I would have liked a little exposition on that subject, it's just left to your imagination if you're not familiar with the books. A psychoactive substance seemed to be the only explanation in the films.

The "audiobook" that Paul is listening to between minutes 6 and 7 in Dune Part 1 tells the audience that the spice has health benefits and allows the space navigators to plot their path, making spice a requisite for space travel and therefor the most important substance in the galaxy. So the exposition was there, I guess you just missed it.

Ahhh, gotcha! I totally missed that.
 
I finished watching the first season of Dune: Prophecy and I liked it. They don't talk much about spice, some are using it just for pleasure and some are using it like an English tea, where it's more like a mild sedative than a powerful substance that can speed up the evolution of mankind, but I like how they approached the theme of thinking machines. Perhaps the creators of the show thought that the topic of AI is more interesting to the current audience than psychoactive substances? I love the cast, especially the young women, who look very much like their old versions of themselves (Tula and Valya). Actors are quite diverse, but I haven't noticed any woke nonsense.
 
Some people were inspired by Dune movies!

They ranked 5th in Europe, 4th in the 2024 ISU Grand Prix Cup of China ice dancing competition, and won bronze at the 2024 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Skate America.

It's a beautiful choreography and sound mix. I would never get tired of training on any Dune soundtrack mix, especially Herald of the Change and Leaving Caladan.
