the leading man is my tpye

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I looked the other way on the special effects because to truly realize Herbert's vision over the course of a miniseries at the time was probably cost prohibitive.That leaves us with the acting where the ball was dropped on the main character.There are main characters then there are MAIN CHARACTERS and Paul Atreides is of the latter type and in this version of Dune, unlike the novel, we get right out of the gate, a Paul Atreides that is little more than a surly punk exhibiting none of the nuanced maturity or complexities of the Paul Atreides in the novel.That's all I really have to say on the matter.

Based on Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, this is a 3 part TV miniseries for Sci-fi channel. It is a fair attempt at the epic material. The obvious comparison is to the 1984 David Lynch version.First the easy comparison is the special effects. This version does a lot of green screen work. It's early CGI done competently for the times. It looks good enough, but the 1984 has the amazing visual style. This feels very much like a low resolution copy. It's got to be expected. I certainly wouldn't deduct any marks for it.The 1984 version was a complete mess storywise. I never read the books. This version is much more clearer. The 4 hours running times have a lot to do with that. It flows a lot better.The acting is there for the big roles in this movie. Alec Newman does a good job as the Muad'Dib. He feels like a young hero type. Backing him up, there are some great actors like William Hurt, Saskia Reeves, and Ian McNeice. The acting for the '84 version is much deeper. Overall, they're both flawed presentations of a complicated epic sci-fi series.

The first rendition of this story to the movies was, by far, too short, and it added a few out-of-context features, such as the ending rain in Arrakis and Paul's telekinetic powers.It was, nonetheless, infinitely better than this almost 5 hours long adaptation of Frank Herbert's original work.Several important modifications were made that soften the environment the characters are supposed to be living in, not to mention the alterations inflicted on the characters themselves. Ian McNeice is simply histrionic as Baron Harkonnen. Every time he has an opportunity to gloat he does so in a manner consistent with cartoon villains instead of playing the deeply disturbed, psychotic, power- hungry dictator his character was supposed to be.Apart from the butchery done to the characters and to the story itself, there are the scenarios and FX. The budget must have been really low...If all that wasn't enough, John Harrison draws all of the most vital scenes from David Lynch's movie. The imagery is obviously a copy.All things considered, watch Lynch's version not this awful one.

I was immediately disappointed early in the series when I realized how they had poorly cast Paul, who is a central character holding the entire movie together. Paul is calm, collected, prescient with razor-sharp perceptive skills; mature ahead of his time. In the series, Paul is petulant, arrogant, rash and almost childish. He lacks much of the presence that he needs to project. The cast around him is decent (e.g. William Hurt as Leto Atriedes), the special effects good for its time, but it still falls sadly short. It won't stop Dune fans from watching it, but I leave the film feeling dissatisfied and a sense of the waste.
