The first movie was the first part of the book, and the first part of the book was basically just world building and introducing characters (and a lot of characters thinking about things alone).
I think there was a lot to like about the movie, it was beautiful and hopefully brings back the 'weird' sci-fi aesthetics of the pre Star Wars era, but if you aren't familiar with the book, then just first movie it isn't going to be satisfying as a story.
