I think it sucks that the movies don't even mention the Butlerian Jihad, the whole setting is built on people rising up against the thinking machines.
I think Villeneuve made a very conscious decision to sideline a lot of the harder sci Fi elements. I felt like it was overall a good idea but it meant that people were largely going to enjoy it based on the more human elements, and the various intrigue. I had to explain a number of things to the friends I saw it with but despite that they were very very enthralled, which I thought meant it was a good success. The fact that they wanted me to explain the scifi stuff stood out bc these friends are definitely not into that normally.
At least its telling us the movies aren't going farther than the first three or four books.
