Absolutely! Villeneuve caught the Dune-universe as I pictured it in my head incredibly well, from visuals over story telling to sound. And it showed just how alien and dangerous / harsh Arrakis is.

I'm just a tad worried about Feyd-Rautha so, Sting was just brilliant in that role!

Arrakis is alien but it's depicted as relatively friendly in the dream-sequences. They used sounds of waves crashing on beaches, which makes a lot of sense as to the Fremen it is their home.

My only gripe is that Arrakis doesn't feel hot enough, but I also don't really care.

The Mongolian Gobi desert seems to top out at 27C - https://www.amicusmongolia.com/climate-average-monthly-tempe...

(Low of -33C, harsh)

Sure, but in the novel, Arrakis really is hot. In the Appendix, it's stated that the sand surface reached 76.85 Celsius (170.33 F).

Sand surface =/= ambient temperature, with all the research that went into Dune, I think Herbert was aware of that
