content: Taking into account the scope of the book, and the fact that it would probably take six hours to make a movie that does the book justice, I have to say that de Laurentis did a marvelous job! This film provides a visual representation of the marvel that is DUNE, given the constraints of time that are placed on film. The storyline is strong, the emotion stirring, and it leaves one remembering the entire movie: not just the exciting bits and pieces... A definate MUST SEE!
