I think I will have to read the books now I haven't read them in decades, but I remember the books being uneven. Dune itself is great. I remember Dune Messiah being not that great, I liked Children of Dune, and I think I abandoned the fourth book (don't even remember the name) without finishing it. cany10011 and MikeBiDude 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Will be available 31 days on HBOMax Around DC it's on several IMAX screens, including 2 shows per day at the 6-story tall IMAX at Hruby Air and Space Museum annex in Chantilly, VA where it's also cheaper (justifying the gas lol). We may drive out to see it in a week or two. (I saw it at 6:01 Friday on HBO). I want to re-watch the 1st movie but since it covers Part 2 it will be a spoiler (yes I forgot the ending from 38 years ago).

I’m a fan of the first movie, have owned it in VHS, Laserdisc, and BlueRay DVD. Very David-Lynch-audio leaning, good soundtrack by Toto. Although it didn’t do well at the box office, it still has a small cadre of faithful (like me!). Just as easy to lust after Kyle MacLachlan as Timothée.

+ poolboy48220 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'm a long-time science fiction fan, and getting some laughs out of reading some of the online reactions saying "I didn't realize there was a book".

The follow up “Children of Dune” also had an excellent cast and a rockin sound track. 🕺 KeepItReal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tchm Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Seen it three times in IMAX. The only way to see it IMO. Loved loved it . Will watch it again . I’m so glad it stuck with the book’s tone and atmosphere. So happy the director didn’t dumb it down with smartass quips and one liners to pander to the Marvel/DC throng. It’s thoughtful and an immersive visual and aural experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I love the original, not wild about the SciFy channel mini-series, but I do like the 2020 version as well. Only issue for me…I’m distracted by both handsome Kyle Maclachlan and Timothée Chalamet! KeepItReal and + FrankR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the David Lynch version on broadcast TV mid-80's and the opening narration explaining the relation between the four planets, "Directed by Alan Smithee" in the opening credits. I later found the story about Alan Smithee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Smithee + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
