This is not a negative blog, so all I’ll say about the new Dune movie is that I had a hard time liking the main character—Paul Atreides/ Muad'Dib/ the cuisinart-hat-and-coat-rack. Yes, that means I’m one of those people who liked the 1984 version better. I’ve been told to think of that one as opera—opera without singing.
If you have a chance, check out the Sci Fi Channel’s 2000 miniseries Frank Herbert’s Dune. It’s supposed to be more accurate to the novel than the 1984 movie, though it was woefully underfunded for the battle against House Atreides. It would be more informative to compare this miniseries with the current movie.
