I love the noise it makes and how it manages to look like a helicopter and biology inspired. And the wing folded dive to get to the spice harvester is just fantastic.

I agree that would be cool, but it wouldn't really be dune. Dune is more about the politics and how ecology shapes societies. The climactic battle in Messiah was kept mostly off screen for example.
Yeah I thought they cut too much of the political intrigue for the movie, I want the dinner scene and the secret garden room!
I don’t disagree that it wouldn’t be dune in terms of what I have heard the books are like, but I don’t think the newest movie really gets across any of that beyond a surface level of setting up who the villain is. I know the next movie is going to put a twist on stuff, but judging the last dune movie as a self contained experience it just doesn’t really do anything interesting on that front in my opinion. The world building, art direction and cgi are what capture the viewer I think, which isn’t to devalue the movie it’s just the magic of the movie has 0% to do with the in my opinion.
The first movie was the first part of the book, and the first part of the book was basically just world building and introducing characters (and a lot of characters thinking about things alone).
I think there was a lot to like about the movie, it was beautiful and hopefully brings back the 'weird' sci-fi aesthetics of the pre Star Wars era, but if you aren't familiar with the book, then just first movie it isn't going to be satisfying as a story.
