Dune: Prophecy 2024– BRRip.DDP New Episode Magnet
26/33
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and found the legendary sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells the story of how the Rossak Brotherhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice comes from an episode called “Mentats of Dune.” The three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. Referenced in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020). I wanted to keep it short and sweet, but felt compelled to expand my thoughts. So here it is. There was a time when writers knew how to weave exposition into a narrative without it feeling forced and contrived. I understand that this is a first episode, but do they have to explain everything as if everyone doesn’t know? Watson (Valya), Mark Strong (Emperor), Travis Fimmel (Hart), and Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Princess) turned in strong performances. I feel like the show is in good hands. The rest of the characters didn’t engage me. They move the story along but are forgettable. I guess we’ll see how that plays out. I had a hard time staying focused on the first episode. It felt like it was part of an indivisible whole. I’ll wait until the full season before consuming any more episodes. They did a wonderful job on the visuals. The CGI is top notch, the costumes are perfect, the tone of Villeneuve’s vision is maintained and expanded. The art department should get awards for how beautiful it is.
