I felt like Dune needed some prior knowledge of the books to really follow the plot. Not because the plot wasn't cohesive, but because so much plot was condensed into a movie that was already 2 and half hours long. It's not the fault of the movie, the book is just dense. But it does end up disorienting for the average viewer who can't instantly adjust their understanding of the universe to fully follow the plot.
