Thank you. I for one wish Villeneuve could short shrift Dune Messiah to tackle the (in my opinion) more fascinating if formidable (challenge to film) fourth book... I say no more lest spoilers abound..
Lynch went in whole hog with the eugenics, of course, including presenting the Navigators as bizarre post-humans, and doing justice to the conclusion. But what a mess so much of that film was, no?

This begs the question: how does the new version compare to David Lynch's treatment?

Absolutely - although the set-piece of the Guild Master (if that's the title - nearly 40 years since I read this) remains unbeatable.
