Title: A step short of wonderful
Review: Dune, as a novel, is incredible. To make the transition to a movie would be difficult, if not impossible. David Lynch made an excellent attempt, and while the version sold commercially is unfortunately difficult to follow for the Dune Novice, the uncut version is fantastic(if you have the time!)My major complaint is the lack of attention to Liet-Kynes and the Fremen society, which is the center of Dune. Too much assumption is made by Lynch.If you're interested in Dune, read the book. The movie is a nice addition, but is also completely unnecessary. :) Just enjoy the weirdness of it.What a story. I hear it's being remade, based exclusively on the novel, so we may yet gain further visual insight into Mr. Herbert's ecological epoch.
