I thought it was very close to the original, I confess I was sceptical about the main cast but he delivered. Can't wait for the sequel.
My wife was bored though, but she wouldn't have touched the books with a ten foot pole anyways.
On topic: buy an Idris!
In fairness, this does presume that they know (what they're doing)...
I mean I can understand with the later books - I kinda gets weird, but the 1st book is quite the packed story. And putting it into a movie is something of a challenge - the director is a master surgeon in cutting out faff.Kinda what CIG needs. A director who knows how to make something.

I also enjoyed Lynch’s version, but as I recall he took plenty of liberties in it. One the most egregious I recall was the combat techniques taught by Paul to the Fremen. In the movie it was based on an enhanced version of the Bene Gesserit voice power while in the book it was actually the advanced hand to hand Atreides combat art.

It's space. And spaceships. I can basically see her eyes rolling from here, 40 clicks away

On the other hand it has giant graboids... she likes graboids
Now buy an Idris!
Yeah, Lynch's version had a lot that deviated from the book, but as cool as the new version is, and as faithful the Sci-Fi channel version was, the Lynch version will always hold a special place in my heart and remains one of my favourite films of all time.
A lot can be attributed to the actors, music, and sets. Such an outstanding line up of quality actors (and Sting
). Even the new version, good as it is, doesn't have the same acting talent the Lynch version had.
Baron Harkonnen - I think he overacted. But he did it so maniacally - they're my favourite scenes.Yeah, Lynch's version had a lot that deviated from the book, but as cool as the new version is, and as faithful the Sci-Fi channel version was, the Lynch version will always hold a special place in my heart and remains one of my favourite films of all time.

I actually still think the practical sandworms in Lynch's version look better than Villeneuve's CGI ones. CGI still can't get the sand right at scale. Apparently for Lynch's film they used a dangerous mix of crushed glass and fullers earth to make the sand look good at scale on the miniatures.Yeah, Lynch's version had a lot that deviated from the book, but as cool as the new version is, and as faithful the Sci-Fi channel version was, the Lynch version will always hold a special place in my heart and remains one of my favourite films of all time.

I'm looking forward too, to the next Villeneuve Dune (pt.2) movie to finish up the first book, and then I hope he gets to finish his trilogy idea with the last film from Dune: Messiah. Then I guess up to him or WB if they want to do a sequel trilogy composed of Children of Dune, Heretics, and Chapterhouse. Lynch's version had a bunch of great genre actors of the time, but the Harkonnen and other disturbing stuff just made me feel unsettled about it for years with Lynch's grotesque ways that kept me from rewatching his version that much.
As for CIG and SC, I'm afraid it's too long a wreck now and worse with ulterior and unethical business and marketing practices. Where I think in ten to twenty more years, even if this CIG/SC boondoggle is still around stuck, it'll be Frontier's ED or whatever continued iteration that will be the "everything" spacesim game advancement of more combined features within its achieved scope and structure and uniquely succeeded ambition. Such as populated cities like their "Parriz" painting approached by an FDL in the foreground. Plenty of features currently in Frontier's other park games like their npc crowds and behaviors eventually making its way into ED and ELW's within their crossdev process.

They probably don't bither such detail today. Back then with miniatures it was evident that you need to provide some physical solution.
As long as they stop with the Frank Herbert stuff and don't start trying to do the rubbish that was the prequels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.
Ypu know how it is. Get a flagshop franchise then you milk it dry until there is no life anymore in it.

It's what they've been doing for nigh on ten years now, innit?
Ah, I may have called it mental diarrhea before.
Funny how you can make a joke about Star Citizen anywhere on reddit and get upvoted. This was in /r/ukraine
You know you love the Weirding Module.
His name is a weapon!Also a fan of the original worms, but then we haven't seen too much of the new ones.
