@mdhughes I highly recommend checking out Spicediver's fan-edit of Lynch's movie that uses cut scenes and generally a different edit to get it much more in line with the book (at least story-wise) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJykw3H4PDw
Anyway I agree with the sentiment. Villeneuve took at least as many liberties as Lynch changing the story compared to the book, but the esthetics of his movies are extremely bland, and so is the score. Plus a lot of characters end up being completely flat (e.g. Piter De Vries)
