Denis Villeneuve actually has a fairly distinctive style when it comes to having slightly glowing objects floating very slowly through the frame, so yes I do remember the spaceships.

Honestly the first thing I thought when the throat-singing started was why the fuck does anyone watch star wars (Not that the originals are bad, but the universe has no depth). Dune isn't perfect, but it's just so much more intriguing and obviously from a smarter author than it's competitors in the space opera genre.
