Title: Way better than the David Lynch version
Review: Unlike David Lynch's take on it, this one you can actually follow without having read the book first. There are no annoying thought voiceovers from any of the characters, no heart plugs or "weirding module" sonic blasters, no hideously cheesy special effects. Ian MacNeice's Baron Harkonnen is much more entertaining, more sarcastic and witty than the previous one. The Fremen are painted to be more primitive than before, it's not as melodramatic, and stays pretty true to the original novel.
