It bothered me that the scale was barely conveyed. For example, I don’t think it becomes clear how massive the troop movement is when the Atreides take control of Arrakis. I think that would have been fairly easy to illustrate visually by doing a better wide angle shot of Arrakis in space with thousands and thousands of ships heading towards it. I mean, the scene with the ships emerging from the sea as the Atreides leave Caladan is nice, but it seems like it’s just the ruling family and their court moving - not a gigantic force that can permanently occupy an entire planet. But maybe I just don’t remember it correctly.
