Basically the movie in graphic novel form. Nothing new, though the art is very good. Worth a read if you’re into Dune, but not strictly necessary.

 „Dune: The Official Movie Graphic Novel” autorstwa Lilah Sturges, to oficjalna komiksowa adaptacja nagrodzonego Oscarem epickiego dzieła science-fiction „Diuna” w reżyserii Denisa Villeneuve'a, bazująca na kultowej powieści wizjonerskiego autora Franka Herberta. Ten bogato ilustrowany komiks przenosi nas w świat Arrakis, oferując czytelnikom zupełnie nowy sposób doświadczania „Diuny”.

Opowieść o mitologicznej i emocjonalnie naładowanej podróży bohatera, Paula Atrydy, młodego geniusza przeznaczonego do wielkości, która go przerasta, pokazuje, jaką wędrówkę musi odbyć na najbardziej niebezpiecznej planecie we wszechświecie, aby zapewnić przyszłość swojej rodziny i swojego nowego ludu. 

Adaptacja jest wiernym odwzorowaniem filmu, zarówno pod względem scen, jak i dialogów, przekładając kinową wizję na stronice komiksu. Artystyczne przedstawienie postaci, w tym takich gwiazd jak Timothée Chalamet czy Zendaya, jest nie tylko piękne ale nie pozbawione emocjonalnej wyrazistości i charakteru. Dodatkowo na końcu dostajemy specjalne ilustracje dla każdej głównej postaci jako miły bonus dla fanów.

To must-have dla fanów filmu Villeneuve'a oraz dla tych, którzy chcą ponownie zanurzyć się w świecie „Diuny” z innej perspektywy. Fakt, że komiks jest dokładnym odzwierciedleniem filmu, sprawia, że może stanowić idealne uzupełnienie dla tych, którzy szukają sposobu na przedłużenie doświadczenia kinowego, jak również dla nowych czytelników, którzy chcą zapoznać się z historią w formie wizualnej przed zagłębieniem się w powieści Herberta.

W świetle różnorodnych opinii, „Dune: The Official Movie Graphic Novel” wydaje się być udaną adaptacją, która nie tylko oddaje hołd oryginalnemu dziełu Herberta i filmowi Villeneuve'a, ale również wprowadza nowy wymiar do tej klasycznej historii science-fiction, sprawiając, że jest ona dostępna i atrakcyjna dla kolejnego pokolenia czytelników i widzów.

Przyjemność 3,8/5

Historia: 3,9/5

Beautiful, but not sure how much someone unfamiliar with the book or recent film would fare with it.

I'm not generally the kind of person who hates on novelizations of films, but this one seemed unnecessary. There were only a couple of innovative panel usages; the rest was image for image from the film. But it seemed less weird and more flat than Villenueve's lush visuals. Plus, you would need to be extremely familiar with the plot of the film/novel to understand what's going on/who the characters are. I wish ppl who adapt treated their adaptations like works in and of themselves and not just extensions of the original.

I think if you LOVED the newest film adaptation you will love this because it is essentially stills from the film that have been recreated. You would probably rate this 4 or 5 stars.

For me, it wasn’t my favorite, since I’ve only read the book and while it’s a pretty accurate adaptation, I don’t really like the feeling of looking at images of the movie. At the end of this, there was a sketch an Paul that looks more illustrated, and I think I would have preferred an entire book in that style more.

This is the 2nd book I’ve gotten that based on an film adaptation and I just don’t think they are the right fit for me. But that’s not the fault of the book or the art. It’s just a me thing.

***Thank you to NetGalley and Legendary Comics for providing me with an ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.

Lilah Sturges’ interpretation of Dune, based on the recent movie, is just as great as watching the movie, only this time in still drawings with speech bubbles spread across pages. Starting with the story of how Dune came from thought to story, Lilah takes the reader on a visual journey of the events from Dune movie part 1 from 2022. Just as in the movie, the colors are very strong and play a big role in the storytelling. My favourite pages were the ones from Dune where the native-blue eyes appear just as s splatter of color on a page full of yellow. The effect is amazing!

If you’re a long-time Dune fan, you’ll probably want to get a printed version of this graphic novel, as the middle and the end contain a lot of posters, including a 2 x page of the famous Dune worm facing Paul and Jessica. If this is your thing, make sure to also check the character gallery sketches at the end of the graphic novel, it’s definitely worth admiring!

Special thanks to NetGalley, Legendary Comics, and the editorial team for giving me the opportunity to review the ARC in audiobook format and to you, my reader, for taking the time to read this honest personal book review.

A fun and entertaining Graphic Novel for the fans of the Movie. The book features the same story and the characters of the movie. Even the cast are the same.

If you love the movie for what it was, you will like this novel too but a downside i can see from here is that sometimes the great visuals and the cinematography of the movie was lost on paper,
