This is better than all of the dune movies I won’t take this back
I really liked the redneck characters they made the movie a lot more entertaining and the small town setting made them feel more like a family
The creatures were also a cool which is why I made the dune comparison they’re like ginormous predatory worms that dwell in the sand
