(Saw this on the Sci-Fi channel last nite.) Just simply awfull. Paul Maud-dib, the Messiah of the known universe is a whiny little jerk. The “special effects” are terrible. The computer generated blue eyes keep drifting off of their eyeballs, the ships look like they are low-res representations. They changed the story, god knows why.

Some may not have liked the origal Dune movie, but it was worlds better than the mini-series. I quit watching after the first episode because the script, acting, and costumes were atrocious. This is the age of CGI like the Matrix and Toy Story 2, yet the Dune mini-series didn’t even have half the quality of special effects needed to save it.

My disappointment about the original Dune movie was that not enough of the Dune world was able to fit in the it. I wanted more. The costume and set designers of the movie were able to put on screen what I could not muster from my imagination with my best attempt. I must admit I started to watch the mini-series with very high expectations, but the show was barely watchable.

Trust me on this one … having read the entire DUNE series 317 times, I justifiably consider myself an expert … dare I say, even more so than Frank Herbert himself. I can list literally dozens of scenes and characters that don’t perfectly match MY mind’s vision of the story … and I should know. Of course I’m in no position to actually contribute anything to the world of DUNE, except this review and an occasional tirade aimed at anyone who would listen to a sci-fi nerd like myself . . .
