Customer Ratings & Reviews

Considering the television-grade budget, this made for cable tv miniseries (Sci-Fi channel) performed quite well in terms of ratings. Exceptional acting stands out, as does the screen time, which gives so much more richness and detail to the story than the previous 1984 David Lynch production. And while some of the photography and special effects aren't the best, it still does much better than anyone would ever expect a made for tv movie to do. Excellent anamorphic widescreen special edition with DTS sound! Followed by the also succesful, 'Children of Dune.'

I didn't like the Dune, with Kyle and Sting. I did like this new Scifi channel revamped one. They made it more understandable than the first. Yes, it was still about controlling the salt. The creatures, were magnificent and the acting superb. I did notice a lot foreign born actors, but they put us to shame anyway. It introduced us to some new faces and a new take on the story.

This was a mini series done by the Sci-Fi channel. It was a closer adaptation in many respects than the original Dune movie. Still had some strange elements (the costuming for example seemed to distract from the story). It was an interesting choice to have Irulan as part of the story. All in all, pretty good and for $10 it's a steal.

I really enjoyed watching this movie and the cast did a good job.
