I hadn't read the books, and I was seriously underwhelmed. It looked decent, but that was about it. It was very slow, there was no way to empathize with any of the characters, as they were unlikable, and often disposed of after a short screen time, and the story was cheesy mysticism in a Game of Thrones sauce. Even the sandworms were not that impressive. On the plus side, I don't like Hans Zimmer's underscores, but I thought this soundtrack was almost completely excellent (except for the use of choir).

I got completely downvoted for my opinion on Seveneves. This one won't fare better, I'm afraid.
