 what you disliked?? 
 Unrealistic plot. Shallow characters. Bad casting 
 yeah, mostly agree, but I enjoyed it a lot. 
 lol, unrealistic plot

i read the book first, and i've read it again a couple of years ago and it's one of the most true versions in video yet... the tv mini series was pretty good too

lol, unrealistic... in an imaginary universe where people have weapons that amplify the power of their voice and there is a drug in the shit of a giant worm living on a desert planet that lets you create a wormhole between two places and allows you to practically achieve immortality

just sounds like someone who's been raised on Marvel to me 
 Couldn't suspend disbelief in strung out worm-poop narcotics abusers folding space with their mind as the basis for space travel or the interplanetary space witches/whores who can inflict both pain and delight using their worm-poop narcotics-enabled psychic powers having a secret breeding program to create the Antichrist?  Yeah it's a bit far-fetched 👀 
 haha, amused to see you also respond so strongly to this silly assessment of a far out fantasy science fiction plot

they should read the book if they loved how far out the story is in the maybe most accurate film version to date

it isn't necessary to have taken mushrooms or DMT to get the story but it helps 
 Likewise -- the fun is in just how far out this story truly is; it's amazing 👀 
 yeah, it leaves Star Wars in the dust for my money
