Title: Excellent visual interpretation of Herbert's classic novel
Review: Dune the movie is an outstanding translation of Herbert's *very* original novel. If you read the book (and I HIGHLY recommend doing this before you see the movie) you'll find that the fusion of gothic and sci-fi story elements are well represented. But, be aware that Dune is a complex story, with at least six interweaving plot elements and the movie will likely be incomprehensible if this is all you see. And so I give the movie 4 stars because it is such a literal translation of the book that it needs some explanation to the lay moviegoer. Get the expanded version if possible!
