I got more frustrated with it on a second watch, about how shallow the characters and their relationships were, and about how the blandness and faded colour choices of a lot of the visuals seemed like a deliberate reaction against the richness and almost pantomime nature of the Lynch version.
I came away thinking they got the ornithopters right but little else.
That still rings true to me, the interpersonal relationships are lacking emotion.. It's as if all human relations and events are being told from a Bene Gesserit perspective, and perhaps this was intentional.
If intentional then it would be a good character arc for Paul to reject this in the second movie.. and then become dispassionate in his own way again in the third
