The astrophysicist highlights unrealistic sand physics and sandworm movement in the sci-fi sequel.

Neil deGrasse Tyson questions the scientific accuracy of 'Dune 2', focusing on sand physics and sandworm locomotion.
Tyson's critique includes the implausibility of thumping sand to attract sandworms, arguing that sand would absorb the sound.
He also points out that the straight-line movement of sandworms contradicts real-life physics of legless creatures.
Despite his criticisms, Tyson acknowledges the need for suspension of disbelief in enjoying science fiction movies.
Experts and fans debate the balance between scientific accuracy and creative freedom in the genre.
