> A few decades from now, I think Lynch's Dune will be looked upon more favorably than the recent films.

By whom? Lynch's has been out for decades and is at 6.3:

Villeneuve's is currently at 8.0:

The RT for each are at 44% and 83%:

Even with recency bias, do you think their scores will change much in 20+ years?

The recent one was so "indistinguishable" from recent sci-fi movies it won Best Original Score, Sound, Film Editing, Cinematography, Production Design, and Visual Effects:

How many other sci-fi films even get nominated (including Best Picture and Screenplay), let alone win? What were the accolades for Lynch's movie?
