Thanks, had to switch to markdown to fix, very odd.
Basically I watched it and recognized every scene. The design is excellent, the casting is excellent, and they’re not afraid of Paul’s visions. I reread the book every few years, since I was 8 or so.
Once I was able to read on my own, my brothers handed me Sword of Shannara and from there on out I was reading all their books and tearing up the adult SFF section at the library. (I think it was about expediency, if they got me reading fat books they wouldn't have to take me to the library as often.)
Sooo glad they showed a sandworm (and it was magnificent). Whole trailer I was like, but sandworm, but sandworm, show me a sandworm. And then they did.
I had exactly the same reaction. At first I was like "Hmm..." but excitement kept building as I watched and everything after "I must not fear" was glorious.
