I know what you mean, I had the same effect from the David Lynch Dune movie. I went in blind, had no idea what I was about to see other than that it was scifi.

Put it on and didn't even make it to a chair before I was spellbound. I stood for the whole movie, feeling as if ages had passed while I was rooted to the ground like a mountain watching seasons pass in stop motion.

I've watched it maybe 6 times since, nothing has quite recaptured that perfect first watch.

I love it too, I actually decided to never read the book because all the book readers I have talked to hated it.

Highly recommend the upscaled to 4k fan edit on YouTube. They splice in lost footage that was cut from Lynch’s initial edit.

The book is fine. I saw the movie before the book and there are some obvious changes but nothing so terrible that it ruins anything.
