Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
能够重新校准这个十年科幻片天花板的电影。好莱坞终于不再让人失望，电影终于重新回归电影。
故事内核太老套了，配乐和镜头手拉手装神弄鬼，情节充满我理解不了的设定：星际时代为什么要肉搏？九千年之后人类还在继续反封建反殖民？都公元一万多年了号称能左右人类政治的神秘组织还在搞希特勒的优生学？这部电影有多长，我的吐槽就可以持续多长............
故事空洞、逻辑不通、设定老套、人物工具，除了维导废土美学的审美一以贯之以外，这不就是老外拍的《爵迹》？
是怎么做到既无聊又精彩的……真是奇了怪了。//Rebecca太美了！//3.5星
-观赏性★★★
不知道为什么那么多人说故事推进慢，对我来说全程都很精彩hh而且配乐可是汉斯季默这怎么睡得着hhh
内核还是救世主、暴君和殖民的那套体系，可以想见第二部就是觉醒者和反抗的民族的故事了。通过科幻的外衣，把国家或者民族的争端移植到宇宙里，是广义上的科幻，但是写于1965年的原作，在社会近20年高速发展下，已经由未来的科幻，变成了过去的科幻。故事里让人类的追求变成了去文明，去精神的原始争端，真的是用最高端的科技外衣，打造了最乏味的灵魂。
挺好看的，银河帝国的视觉奇观，导演应该去拍银英传，动作戏都轻飘飘的，比如少主一刀下去，我感觉是不是在那个塑料片上打滑了，结果人已经被杀死了。
场面宏大 特效惊人 美术优秀 张震念经 但文本还是权力倾轧种族联合的老路子 设定竟然还是冷兵器战斗 仍然是为了财富资源 我不喜欢 Why is it so highly rated?
草，我居然蛮喜欢的，可能是看了2DIMAX吧，要说剧情确实是没什么剧情，搁别的片儿几分钟就能讲完的前情提要，但是这个美术和音乐真的把你带到了那个世界，沉浸感非常强。设定因为我之前了解过，所以不知道没了解的人体感怎么样，我是觉得很清楚的。虽然甜茶最近的疑似霸凌闹得沸沸扬扬，但他在这个片儿还是很符合我审美，好好看啊，气质也很符合这种贵族人设，预知梦里面有一个冷眼俯视卡拉丹的画面把我帅没了。唉，对喜好和平的少年来说，突然接受自己是要引起宇宙杀戮的“救世主”的命运确实很难接受，所以他第一反应是很痛的“我爸死了”，做先知和救世主也不是什么好差事啊，知情却无法改变是最痛苦的。
几个月前我对当下这个年代《沙丘》《基地》《三体》等科幻巨著影视化改编的悲观态度就不赘述了。
怎么说呢，四星还是有的，五星有点满了，其实人们对这类电影一般都很宽容，但这次似乎苛刻了点。多少人之前说沙丘难拍，这个交卷绝对值得再拍两部！
「两个多小时的预告片」评价很精准，哈哈哈哈。全片都是古老与未来、自然与科技的融合，就像钢筋铁骨的宇宙飞船降落在山水之间或沙丘之上的图景。甜茶的忧郁和神秘气息太适合这个角色了！
维神让沙丘这颗掩埋了半个世纪的宝石在沙漠中闪耀 他也必将在影史名垂青史 熠熠生辉
但凡能好好雕琢下故事，把它弄成一个完整的段落……观众也不至于叹着气离开电影院

感到很难打分——毕竟是Part 1，也不知道往后会有几部续作。我理想的Part 1是自成一体的，而不是未完待续的。靠特效和配乐撑着，而没有体会到实质的剧情上的宏大；part 1似乎是要构建天选之子的背景和成长，却拍成了流水账，3D IMAX都没法让我沉浸，多少次以为“要结束了吧？”，一个多小时居然这么漫长，就很烦。真要冠名“21世纪的《指环王》”那还是差了十万八千里。丹尼斯的《银翼杀手2049》我已经不是很喜欢了，而《沙丘》甚至比2049好了些，虽然审美是清一色的Kanye West Yeezy。// 沙漠于我而言无疑是绝对浪漫的，沙子与海洋平行的浩瀚气质和吞没性恐惧在Sandworm下潜时还是震慑人心。只可惜...(
不知是甜茶太美，还是早上喝的卡布其诺作祟，居然还挺喜欢这片子的。可能是牛蛙的风格恰好适合这个故事。预言这种叙事工具，用在《降临》上就显得很low，但用在《沙丘》里则恰到好处。科幻的面相不同吧。所以算是歪打正着吗？
许久没有这种感叹“电影被发明出来真是太美好”的感觉了，维神封神指日可待！！！
