[QUOTE="Enoch, post: 1533873, member: 10517"] Read Dune many years ago. Loved it. Later novels by Frank Herbert get a little weird and the prequels/expanded universe stuff that Frank Herbert's son did is pretty bland. If I was not familiar with the source material the movie would have made pretty much zero sense. The sets, special effects, acting, soundtrack, casting etc all great. Narrative/script not good. Part of the problem is that all of these different groups (Bene Gesserrit, Navigators, Mentats, great houses, etc) have really complex relationships to each other in the Dune world that can't be explored in one movie. Would have been better as 10 episode special on HBO. Also surprised they didn't take the part out where if you are scared like an animal you get the jab and die immediately. [/QUOTE]
