    :sleepi: I see they didn’t learn anything from the 1st bland snooze inducer. And they managed to have even less color. :lea-why:

    Enjoy the billion dollar tribute to sepia tone :my-hero: I don’t get it.

            should we expect it to look exactly like earth

            no, and I’m not saying we should. I’m saying that a harsh desert setting still leaves a lot of room for visual dynamism, and that Lawrence of Arabia does a good job of showing that.

            It makes sense that the developed areas of Arrakis be near the spice sands, which should be vast expanse of dunes. But the exposed rock of desert is often quite beautiful and I’m looking forward to seeing it, as those places are where the Fremen settlements are.

        I’m just surprised they didn’t go for a deep blue sky to contrast against the yellow and brown tones of the desert.

          Dune is not set on an earth desert, it’s set on a planet where water is literally imported from offworld. It’s a fierce inhospitable planet with more in common with mars than with Arizona or Arabia. The people wear utilitarian stillsuits that collect piss and sweat to convert back to water.
