Nothing in the 11-time Oscar nominee's 37-year, 140-film career sounds like “Dune.” Eerie, ominous and dramatic, it is a unique mix of choral, world-music, rock and electronic sounds created by friends and colleagues on three continents.
The stylized ships, dwellings and, various apparatus alone seem to point to Steampunk, but also the Victorian dress the females wear on the emperor's planet seem to scream Steampunk. Plus there seems to be literal steam coming from everywhere, at least in the 1984 movie.

Dune is a complex, complicated story that doesn't easily align with anyone's politics. But there's still more to Dune's allure than just all the pent-up anticipation for a good film.

Dune 2021 is only the first half of the story. Villeneuve actually made the more book-accurate choice, since the character is often mentioned more than he's seen in the first half of the novel.
The title is a direct reference to the planet at the heart of Herbert's story and Villeneuve's film. So much emphasis is placed on Arrakis because it is the only source of the spice melange in Dune's universe and it is the conditions of the planet that allow the valuable narcotic-like substance to be produced.
While it seems little more than a piece of worldbuilding in a story, the hostile stance against computers and AI in “Dune” is connected to themes of furthering human potential over artificial constructs.
