While Dune: Prophecy<\/em> is a (very loose) literary adaptation<\/a>, the HBO series ultimately defines itself by its ties to Denis Villeneuve\u2019s Dune movies. In and of itself, that\u2019s no big deal. 2024 has seen a now-standard flurry of shows released under the Star Wars<\/a>, DC<\/a>, and Marvel<\/a> labels (to name just a few) \u2014 all of them spinoffs, prequels, sequels, or reboots of franchises that originated on film. Hell, DC Studios relaunched its cinematic universe<\/a> with<\/em> a streaming joint! <\/p>\n

Yet Dune: Prophecy<\/em> is innately different to these other small-screen offshoots of big-screen blockbusters, because, unlike them, its cinema roots are baked into its very DNA. And now that the dust (or should that be spice?) has settled on Dune: Prophecy<\/em> season 1, it\u2019s painfully clear that trying to shrink Dune\u2019s inherently filmic nature \u2014 its sheer \u201cbigness\u201d \u2014 is a task not even the Lisan al Gaib himself<\/a> could accomplish.<\/p>\n

[Ed. note:<\/strong> This post contains spoilers for Dune: Prophec<\/em>y season 1.]<\/p>\n

At this point, longtime Dune<\/em> devotees are probably crying foul. \u201cWhat about the two miniseries, Frank Herbert\u2019s Dune<\/em> and Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune<\/em>, that aired on Syfy in the 2000s?\u201d these fans ask. \u201cWeren\u2019t those successful?\u201d And indeed they were, both critically and commercially<\/a>; these Dune<\/em> adaptations rank among Syfy\u2019s most-watched original productions to this day. But here\u2019s the thing: Those productions were built from the ground up for the small screen. Sure, they aspired<\/em> to cinematic sensibilities, but there\u2019s no mistaking their made-for-TV origins. The acting is uneven, the scripts are deliberately paced and exposition-heavy, and most of all, the spectacle is hemmed in by a basic cable budget.<\/p>\n

In that sense, Dune: Prophecy <\/em>is arguably much closer to cinema than these earlier efforts. Certainly, the HBO series\u2019 visual effects, costumes, and sets are light-years ahead of anything Syfy mustered. The performances are more consistent, too; the divide between Hollywood veterans and TV regulars is less pronounced. And showrunner Alison Schapker and her team follow the Great Schools of Dune trilogy\u2019s storyline far less slavishly than the Syfy adaptations\u2019 blow-by-blow approach to their source text, Frank Herbert\u2019s first three novels. Even so, Dune: Prophecy<\/em> season 1 is a claustrophobic, small-scale affair. Valya Harkonnen and her allies and enemies wheel and deal primarily in the backrooms and corridors of the universe. The only major action set-piece we get, a flashback to the Butlerian Jihad<\/a>, is a handful of shots during the prologue. Even the thematic meat of the piece \u2014 supposedly a deep dive into power, truth, and systems of control \u2014 is handled perfunctorily, as if only there to jazz up a relatively inconsequential narrative. It all feels so contained; it feels like TV.<\/p>\n

Contrast this with Villeneuve\u2019s Dune: Part One<\/a> <\/em>and Part Two<\/a><\/em>. Here we have two of the biggest movies to ever movie. The cast is uniformly excellent. The storytelling (particularly in Part Two<\/em>)<\/a> moves at a brisk clip and keeps the expository dialogue to a minimum. The production values are exactly what you\u2019d expect from a combined price tag north of $350 million. The scope is mythic. The themes, covering everything from the perils of superhero-type leaders to free will versus determinism, are painted in vivid, operatic strokes. Watching these films \u2014 especially in oversized IMAX format \u2014 goes beyond mere immersion and verges on a religious experience. It\u2019s a vision of Frank Herbert\u2019s sci-fi universe that\u2019s defiantly geared toward the theatrical experience in an age of smartphones and streaming platforms. \u201cFrankly, to watch Dune<\/em> on a television, the best way I can compare it is to drive a speedboat in your bathtub,\u201d Villeneuve told Total Film<\/a> in 2021. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s ridiculous. It\u2019s a movie that\u2019s made as a tribute for the big screen experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/figure>\n

In short? The Dune franchise under Villeneuve is incompatible with TV \u2014 which might explain why the Canadian filmmaker bailed on Dune: Prophecy<\/em><\/a> before cameras rolled. (For what it\u2019s worth, the official reason<\/a> is that Villeneuve bowed out to focus on Dune: Part Two<\/em>\u2019s sequel, Dune Messiah<\/em>). The gulf between film and television \u2014 even prestige television \u2014 is simply too great. Not that Dune: Prophecy<\/em> season 1 does itself many favors. To Schapker\u2019s credit, Prophecy <\/em>leans into the strengths of TV as a medium, rightly recognizing that directly mapping a cinematic blueprint onto six hour-long installments is impossible. But the way this is rolled out is so low-stakes (and at times, cheap-feeling) that it diminishes Dune<\/em>\u2019s world, rather than expanding it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Take the Desmond Hart plot thread<\/a>. This mystery box finally gets (partly) opened in episode 6, but what\u2019s inside \u2014 ocular nerve implants and shadowy Bene Gesserit haters \u2014 is oddly pedestrian. There\u2019s none of the intellectual and emotional oomph of Dune: Part One <\/em>and Part Two<\/em> protagonist Paul Atreides giving the green light to galactic genocide<\/a> for the greater good. It\u2019s more akin to a plot-centric season finale reveal you\u2019d expect from, say, Agents of SHIELD<\/em> or Fringe<\/em>. <\/em>No shade on either show; it\u2019s just that no one would mistake either for a cinema-grade epic. Similarly, episode 5\u2019s procedural elements involving Tula Harkonnen, Raquella\/Lila, and a generic \u201cscience lab\u201d set are the kinds of scenes that would happen off screen in Villeneuve\u2019s films, and with good reason; CSI: Wallach IX<\/em> is decidedly less compelling than the soaring grandeur of Paul\u2019s subversive hero\u2019s journey<\/a>. And let\u2019s not forget season 1\u2019s wider, dual-timeline narrative, which makes an already busy story even busier (and slower) \u2014 all while filling in gaps in the Dune <\/em>mythos that arguably functioned better left unexplained.<\/p>\n

These shortcomings would be enough to curdle most shows. But foist them onto the Dune universe and they become twice as glaring. Because they don\u2019t merely tarnish the franchise\u2019s brand \u2014 they reduce its outsized ambitions. Where Dune: Part One <\/em>and Part Two <\/em>paid off a cosmos-wide, multi-millennia master plan, Prophecy<\/em>\u2019s first season gave us sub-Game of Thrones<\/em> intrigue and a vaguely defined threat<\/a> to the Sisterhood\u2019s future (effectively a moot point, thanks to the movies), most of it playing out in the same confined locales. Schapker and co. fuss over the how and the why of it all, failing to grasp that the more granular Dune: Prophecy <\/em>becomes, the further away from Villeneuve\u2019s (and Herbert\u2019s) big ideas \u2014 so fundamental to this brainy sci-fi saga \u2014 it gets. For all its spaceships, Shai-Hulud cameos, and funky footwear<\/a>, Dune: Prophecy<\/em> just doesn\u2019t feel<\/em> like Dune.<\/em><\/p>\n

Again, the odds of that happening \u2014 of any<\/em> TV show sitting comfortably alongside Dune: Part One <\/em>and Part Two<\/em> \u2014 were always stacked against HBO. Even if Dune: Prophecy <\/em>season 1 had nailed every aspect of its execution, even if it had been one of the best shows of the year<\/a>, it still wouldn\u2019t have been a movie. As a result, the folks behind Prophecy<\/em> were always going to have to scale back its big-screen counterparts\u2019 cinematic essence to produce something more TV-friendly. But that\u2019s the problem: Shrinking Denis Villeneuve\u2019s Dune is like trying to preserve a snowflake on the desert world that lends the franchise its name \u2014 doomed from the start.<\/p>\n
