I have seen many reviewers write that this movies has no ending. That's true. BUT: The ending Denis chose seems perfect to me. There is no cliffhanger, no big question that I needed immediate answers to. This movie is about house Atreides being betrayed and the path this sets Paul on. This path leads him to his new home: Arrakis.
In that sense, this movie had enough of an ending for me to not feel dissatisfied.
That said, I will probably go and read the book instead of waiting 3 years (or forever) for the conclusion of this story arc.
This is a movie of gigantic scale that feels so familiar, yet so fresh and and unique in it's own way. It's a 2.5 hour, polished piece of art and spectacle.
I cannot recommend it more, and if you're hesitant because it's just part 1, don't be.
I would give this an easy 9.5/10.
