Is it necessary to read dune before watching it? I’m interested in reading it but won’t have time to before it’s out of the cinema.

Sweet. Thanks! I rarely go to the cinema but this seems like it’s worth it..

Definitely a movie to see in the cinema. One downside is that the book engages with the Arab & Islamic source material much more than the movie does. But the movie is good on its ownhttps://www.tor.com/2021/10/18/the-muslimness-of-dune-a-close-reading-of-appendix-ii-the-religion-of-dune/ …

I’m shockingly ignorant on the sci-fi/fantasy genre and generally prefer realism by a long way, but I’ve heard about dune (book initially) for a long time and that makes me want to see it.

Also, does that article need a spoiler alert?

Maybe watch movie first and article after. The movie is a good intro to the Dune mythos & then you can decide if it interests you enough to pursue.
