The first episode of Dune Prophecy, HBO Max’s new foray into the world of Frank Herbert’s universe, unfortunately feels drab and uninspired. Despite its ambitious source material, the episode struggles to capture the charm and depth that make Dune so beloved. The most obvious problem is the assembly. The pacing is wildly off, scenes feel rushed and lack the breathing space needed to develop tension or atmosphere. By trying to cram too much story into one hour, the episode becomes a chaotic stream of non-stop dialogue, sacrificing narrative flow and engagement. Moments that should have felt important are undermined by rushed jumps, leaving little room for emotional or thematic resonance. Visually, Dune Prophecy suffers from a continuation of the gray, industrial aesthetic seen in recent Dune adaptations. The set design and costume design feel sterile and monotonous, failing to evoke the complex, lived-in feel of Herbert’s universe. This lack of visual and atmospheric variety diminishes the sense of wonder and alien grandeur that Dune demands. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect is the lack of effective world-building. While the episode focuses heavily on expository dialogue to build the plot, it neglects to build the world itself. The complex political and cultural dynamics that define Dune seem shallow, and the atmospheric «vibe» lacking. leaves the environment empty and unattractive. Ultimately, Dune Prophecy struggles to strike a balance between exposition and immersion, resulting in an episode that feels more like a rushed recap than a solid introduction to the series. Without major tweaks to pacing, editing, and world-building, there’s a risk of losing the essence that makes Dune such a rich and enduring story.
