For sure. But there will always be those so in love with a certain book or sci-fi world that they are susceptible to wish-casting a movie based on that world into something far greater than it actually is in reality. This is one of those scenarios.

Or maybe they actually liked it to that degree, even if others didn’t.

I’m seeing it tomorrow (or technically today), but Villeneuve is one those directors where there was something about his style that appealed to me, even before I realized all those films were by the same director. I had this same convo with a friend the other day, who didn’t know which films he directed, and had the same realization when I started listing them.
