| Have any of you seen Dune yet? I'll preface this by saying that Dune is one of my all time favorite sci-fi series. While I do appreciate the Lynch effort, I always felt it failed in many ways. The first book is just too much story to successfully cram into a single film. We just got back from Dune (Part 1), and I was absolutely blown away. It's visually stunning and the pacing is perfect. I hate info dumps in movies, but this story is hard to tell without one. In this version of the story they chose to break the info up into smaller pieces throughout. I think they executed it very well. I'm also a advocate of character development. Without it a story is hard to connect with. This movie delivers. If you're a fan of the books, i highly recommend this film. It is the Dune I've always dreamed of. I am absolutely in love with this adaptation. ❤ |

| I've never read the book(s) and the old 80's Sting movie has never kept my interest long enough for me to get through it. This one I really liked. I watched it on HBO Max. I thought it was easy to follow and beautiful to look at. I actually liked it so much that I'm considering seeing it again on the big screen. I'm really looking looking forward to part 2. |

| I loved the new Dune movie and had some very good actor's but didn't show as much details as the other version did but I am sure part 2 will hopefully get more into it.I guess I give it a B.The ships were very interesting. | ||

| Seen both versions of the Lynch and the SCIFI channel version. So it will be interesting to see what the new edition is like. From the trailer, wasn't too happy with the stilsuits but Liet being female does not bother me so. I'll be waiting til it drops in price for the streaming. Why pay $30 for something I can own in 6 months. |

Quote:Originally Posted by BPaxson002 I also watched both versions of the previous movies and I have read the books. I watched it this weekend on HBOMax and I throughly enjoyed it. I didn't know that they were going to release it in parts. I think that is a great idea because you really can't get a feel for the characters cramming the massive story into one movie. I wondered how they could compare it to Lord of the Rings and Star Wars but after seeing the first movie it makes sense. They're creating multiple movies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Looking forward to the sequels. |

| Watched it and loved it. This does indeed deliver. Everything thar i hate about most other remakes is not here. Not rushed. Storyline and characters are being properly developed. Not about a rewrite of the original novels. Can’t wait for part two. | ||

| Enjoyed it! It stays relatively true to the book, which I last re-read only a few years ago. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Belarak When this version was announced, they said they were going to split Dune into two parts, which is the reason Feyd is not listed in the credits. I agree with you that the novel is way too long to be one movie. Doing so leads to the travesty the Lynch version is. I'm hoping to see them do Dune Messiah, so we can see the vision of Frank's destruction of the Hero and structured religion. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 It's not a "Sting" movie, he's in it for about 6 minutes. The 4.5 hour DC is well worth watching. Combo of movie and production stills / art that fill in a lot of cutting-room floor stuff. Lynch was frustrated by the suits and the theatric edition was unsatisfying to a lot of people including him. The documentary on it is also well worth watching. |

Another book he wrote that I enjoyed was "The White Plague". I'm surprised that has never been made into a movie. Great story! |

| I watched it yesterday and enjoyed it. I never read the books. Saw the Lynch movie, but it feels like 100 years ago and didn't remember it too well. I must say that I laughed out loud when the Baron and Reverent Mother went into the Cone of Silence. |

| If you’ve never read the original Dune book it almost didn’t get published. They were afraid he was trying to start a cult. I love the new movie. The books are light-years ahead. | ||

| I'm about an hour in, it's great visual Sci-Fi. We've always been able to read great sci-fi but seeing great visual sci-fi really came about in the last 20 years or so. So far every scene looks visually poignant enough to be part of a preview trailer. | ||
