I get what you're saying, but the world Herbert created is on par with LOTR. It's an amazing look at humanities potential, tens of thousands of years into the future. I couldn't put those books down and I'm usually pretty cynical about adaptations, but Villeneuve did an amazing job. I'd love to see God Emperor of Dune made into a movie. The Leto II sandworm/human hybrid alone would be worth a ticket.
