It helped a lot understanding the David Lynch version which is how I was introduced to the world

I saw that version too.

As much as I like this new version, and it looks spectacular, I still find that "knowing" the old movie helps things out. That old version had a lot of exposition, which has helped me follow along with the new one. I can't shake the feeling that if I came in cold, I wouldn't know much of what is going on.
I imagine reading the books would help, too.

This is a common criticism of Part 1. He really didn’t spend any time with exposition and hoped you would piece it together. I’ve read the first few books and seen the Lynch version, so I was glad we didn’t spend a lot of time with explaining things. But personally I would have cut one Zendaya fever dream in favor of some background on the Mentats Thufir and Piter, the human computers.
