Hi All,
As some of you might know, I'm not a huge movie, or tv, fan. But, there are some stories where after reading the books, you want to see them on the big-screen.
Many years ago, I read the Dune books. Having been more than a little bit disappointed by the movie adaptations in the past, I was a bit leery to watc the newest.
Well, yesterday, my wife, son and I went to see it in the theater, and were very impressed.
First, a lot of the dialog in the movie, was taken almost verbatim from the book. They were also able to create realistic looking visual effects that followed their descriptions in the book. (visualization of the shields comes mind)
Yes, there were some parts of the story that were not included in this, part movie. Perhaps they will work them into part 2.
Overall, this is a very good adaptation of the book. If you are a fan of Dun or have at least read the first Dune book from Frank Herbert, you will not b disappointed.

I loathe most remakes, but I think that the original Dune, while a fine film, could use some improvement.Dune is one of the few cases in which
it makes sense to remake it and try to improve what could be improved.
What I have heard about the remake is mostly negative, though.

Brings new meaning to 'the sleeper'. I found it dull, the costumes were horrible compared to the original Dune, characters were dumbed down and the epic parts [i.e. hand in the box] were washed out. I would go as far as to say it sucked.
