i saw the remake. seemed a bit unnecessary, mostly the same scenes and dialogue. like a ghostbusters reboot
there were part where the original lynch made more of an impact: the visceral diseases on the baron's face. the guild navigator beasty in a tank. even sting had more life than that bloke from guardians of the galaxy who looks like a bouncer.
And the paul atreides character seems to accept his prophecy earlier and with more conviction in this one, which intensifies the problem with any prophecy based story, which is "what they said was going to happen happens"

Yes, but - spoilers
- the prophesy is bollocks. There's no magic bullshit in Dune, just science bullshit.
The prophesy was seeded by the Bene Geserit to give them a way to gain zealous followers in case they needed sanctuary.
So the prophesy coming true is not actually a given at all.
