I liked this version better than Lynch`s movie from 1984, although compared to the time they were filmed the effects were better in Lynch`s movie as far as I can recall. The movie was too weird for my taste though. Despite lacking the budget, I liked this production`s style and theme better. Ian McNeice as the Baron did a great job to name one.
@Tigerlilly0777 Yes, but Moebius' original drawings for the Jodorowsky version in 1974 were equally colorful. I wonder if they borrowed elements from it for this series, since the former was never completed. I must admit it was hard for my eyes to also adjust. Lynch's aesthetic (with Di Laurentiis owing largely, I'm sure) was tasteful and more classy pallette and style. Probably due to a subdued or appropriate nature of conveying the minimal of Polticial commentary as possible.
somehow they managed to make a version even worse than the Lynch rendition in every conceivable way (though it followed the book more closely, which was their first mistake). The casting, costume design, lighting... everything is unimaginative, goofy, and amateur. It encapsulates all that is awful about the Scifi er "SyFy" culture these days.
Maybe in another 10-20 years someone will have the cahones to try again and do justice to a tremendous set of stories. Anyone up for doing it as Machinima?
this version is far closer to the actual story in the books, it's really too bad the production was so poorly executed. It's so bad... it's hard to watch, even for the story !
Awesome movie, the direction, acting and set design is SO much better than the David Lynch travesty. I think I only stomached that movie once all the way through.
True. Maybe Lynch's Sardaukar looked like garbage bins, but these one are just ridiculous. Its hard not to laugh when you see them. Plus the Bene Gesserit really looked like some secretive, manipulative cabal of witches, which they basically are, and not like Mary Poppins fan club.
David Lynch's "Dune" differs from the book. That's why many people criticize it but I don't agree. The whole movie was very well done, visual effects were great for that time and the acting was brilliant. Kyle MacLachlan and Francesca Annis were stunning
@Magnolia296 That's why I love the movie more than the mini series. The acting was great and it was visually stunning. The mini series was more faithful to the book but it had a cheap look to it and the acting wasn't all that great. I'm hoping to see a movie down the line that can balance all three and give the Dune trilogy the epic adaption it deserves :)
holy shit, this television series makes the new dune look like a masterpiece LMAO, even though the new dune did have great acting, despite crappy story direction that David Lynch went with
@EucharistOfHypnos I'd gladly watch this 10 times than to watch 10 minutes of the Lynch movie. Also, Children of Dune mini-series served justice to the dune legacy in my opinion.
@mariusbigb The miniseries was way more faithful to the book. The only problem was that the book was a poorly-written mess. Enjoy your hideous CGI and bad acting, I guess.
I enjoyed this mini-series, but the Paul and Alia in this make of Dune had this sense of overbearing arrogance to them that I really couldn't stand, lol...everything else I enjoyed, but they were both a bit much for me.
@alexandrakl I agree, but I like the original dune better despite cutting important scenes and elements of the novel, but at least the vision of the areas looked real, plus they had some great actors in the film, kenneth mcmillan as the baron was a great choice
Giancarlo Giannini is giving his all as Shaddam IV, but the director didn't do a good job of setting him up. His shots do Giannini's style no favors. Those long, static shots of him on the throne (like at 2:11) makes him look like he's flailing about like an amateur --which he most certainly isn't. That's what happens when you spend cable TV money and talent on a feature film-level star.
@hawkcrie Yes it is true.The Prequels emphasize this more.If you closely watch the movie you will see that the movie implies this.Notice that all his servants are effeminate males, and he was with a male when his nephew tried to kill him.
- The Sadaukar, some elite troops that were raised and trained from birth on some hellisch planet... I'd atleast expected them to be muscular...but those look like we-are-just-for-the-show nerds.
- Those Bene Gesserit (that woman and her group that yells about 'her being in her mind'. Bene Gesserit is the dutch name, dunno if its the same.) look really weird, and the woman that talks should be an oldy.
To really do justice to any continuing story like this, the format of the movie must be in animation. Animation has improved so far beyond that which it once was that now justice can be done to a epic story like Dune. Please someone out there who has it in their power to make this a reality, make it happen.
The movie was terrible and so different to the book. This mini-series was a little better, in terms of plot, but was let down with the stupid costumes. Actually it's sequel, Children of Dune, was a lot better done and maybe the best of all.
But nothing matches the books. I really do hope one day someone can really do it justice. Some say it can't be done, but they said that about The Lord of The Rings too.
Ugh, the guy playing Paul is awful! But I do very much like Alia; excellent, just like in the book. And Irulan, too, and the Reverend Mother Mohiam. Irulan is certainly beautiful.
@CaptainPositron - Perhaps their stillsuits can deflect any residual radiation? It is plausible they can at least deflect the heat. Or perhaps the atomics in the Dune era are much more precise (like the stone burners, which run on atomic fuel, although they themselves are not atomic) and side-effects end quickly. Muad'Dib only shelters from the blast ITSELF and twelve years later (Dune Messiah), Arrakeen suburbs grow closer to the gap in the Shield Wall, so these atomics seem to be quite clean.
I mean the novel was pretty clear that the people dressed in kind of futeristic Victorian era dress style. They sure has hell didnt dress like drag queens!
someone should make an epic 10 hour movie for dune that actually does the sardaukar and the bene gesserit and all the other fucking awesome aspects of the genius masterpiece that is dune some justice.
@guitar4evr30 I agree, say what you want about david lynch's version at least they gave the characters justice they had amazing actors who played their parts well, the were dignified they wernt bad actining caudy and laughable like they are in this piece of sh*t
I admire the miniseries for getting an actress for Alia that could speak and act with conviction and on an adult level, rather than have her lines dubbed by an adult reciting lines as if she was telling a ghost story to three-year-olds.
The acting is terrible. The Bene-Gesserit and especially R.M Mohiam should not look like clown-dressed, crazy butterfly-helmet bitches. And much much more...Yet, one word is enough-crap
this movie is a complete, natural, pure, fresh crap. Dune (the novel) is one of the most amazing achievements of human imagination and it should in no way be humiliated with such retarded performances. What the heck are these fremen? They look like drunk brigands.
Haha I love this quote. The reverend mother is terrified at the sight of Alia, a little girl who has greater psychic powers than her own.
The movie (and novel) ending, with Muad'dib's triumph, is fantastic. A triumph over Harkonnen is not enough- Muad'dib overpowers the Emperor, and Bene Gesserit (I am the Kwisatz Hederach, but not YOUR Kwisatz Hederach!) who maintain control of the universe with their dirty political intrigues. Justice defeats corruption!
What a horrible screen play, what horrible acting. They just stand there and recite their lines and do nothing because the director was too incompetent to give the actors any direction. Alia isn't the abomination, this whole series was.
I just wonder how could that be, that with the shield down, the Fremens and the people in Arrakin wouldn't just go radiated and die. They packed their entire nuclear missle storage in it!
Anyway, I don't really like this version. It's quite good, but the Sardaukars look like idiots, Paddishach the Emperor is an old man; Bene Gesserit are wierd...
@JohnMoonlord Grudge over what? In any case i think you're right, they could adapt Dune but they'd need really good direction and actors to pull it off without it sucking.
@JACKtheRIPP3R189 I meant 1noen1's reply to you about trolling YouTube. Apparently, someone trashed Wesley Crusher on another video big time and he's coming back at you for it (whether it was actually you or not). I was just LOLing at his sudden accusation, out of nowhere, and your "where did THAT came from?!?" reaction. ;-)
Back to our main subject, there is a new Dune movie in the works, currently announced for 2012, so cross your fingers!
@JohnMoonlord Yeah i don't even know who Wesley Crusher is. The dude is off.
Yeah lets hope it doesn't suck. You'd think as big a sci fi epic as Dune would have warranted some more serious attention from hollywood, especially after the appallingly bad version in the 80's
@JACKtheRIPP3R189 Wesley was a character in Star Trek: TNG, the resident kid genius of the ship, and many fans find him annoying (à la "Jar Jar Binks must die" annoying).
I actually love the 80's version a lot: it was my first contact and it drew me to the books. Still one of my favorite movies today, and I absolutely love the style of the movie. But I know that it was a "love it or hate it" movie for most fans, so another adaptation would definitely be awesome if pulled off right.
@JohnMoonlord Ok never mind now i know who you're talking about. I actually read the book before i watched the movie, so the movie seemed sort of incoherent to me. It also had a gimmicky dreary 80's feel to it which i didn't like, but that's just a personal preference. It's a tough book to squeeze into a movie time. I think it would be best if it was divided into parts, it is a long book.
If anything, LotR helped show that movies over 3 hours long are worth it both financially and critically. Still have a lot of catching up and convincing to do on that, but hopefully, producers and studios helming the new Dune movie project will realize just how much "running time if of the essence" for such a dense story.
@JohnMoonlord -- Maybe it was a different person (and if true then I apologize) but *someone* with a nickname like that was getting hyper upset about Wesley Crusher's gay orange sweater, which it was. I just thought it was really funny because the other JacktheRipper was going on and on and about how gay Wesley looked. I mean, you know.... get a room already.
@OneEyedJack1970 He doesn't have the royal bearing of Jose Ferrer. But who does? I like the Baron in the SciFi version better. Lynch's Baron was too over-the-top.
I agree. I've always loved the Bene Gesserit in all their power.This is too teatrically for them. The costumes are silly as they are known to wear simple clothes.They control their emotions.The truth is it's hard to make a good movie after a briliant book,but i suggest they keep trying
The remake was awesome, if it wasn't for terrible accents from shitty minor actors and had it not been made years ago with shitty graphics it would've been a classic, irulan, paul, leto, jessica, all very nicely played.
I would say more like clowns. In the original movie they at least looked a bit scarier in their black suits. Same goes for harkonens and the stilsuits...
I liked this version better than Lynch`s movie from 1984, although compared to the time they were filmed the effects were better in Lynch`s movie as far as I can recall. The movie was too weird for my taste though. Despite lacking the budget, I liked this production`s style and theme better. Ian McNeice as the Baron did a great job to name one.

@JohnMoonlord Grudge over what? In any case i think you're right, they could adapt Dune but they'd need really good direction and actors to pull it off without it sucking.
JACKtheRIPP3R189 1 year ago
@JACKtheRIPP3R189 I meant 1noen1's reply to you about trolling YouTube. Apparently, someone trashed Wesley Crusher on another video big time and he's coming back at you for it (whether it was actually you or not). I was just LOLing at his sudden accusation, out of nowhere, and your "where did THAT came from?!?" reaction. ;-)
Back to our main subject, there is a new Dune movie in the works, currently announced for 2012, so cross your fingers!
JohnMoonlord 1 year ago
@JohnMoonlord Yeah i don't even know who Wesley Crusher is. The dude is off.
Yeah lets hope it doesn't suck. You'd think as big a sci fi epic as Dune would have warranted some more serious attention from hollywood, especially after the appallingly bad version in the 80's
JACKtheRIPP3R189 1 year ago
@JACKtheRIPP3R189 Wesley was a character in Star Trek: TNG, the resident kid genius of the ship, and many fans find him annoying (à la "Jar Jar Binks must die" annoying).
I actually love the 80's version a lot: it was my first contact and it drew me to the books. Still one of my favorite movies today, and I absolutely love the style of the movie. But I know that it was a "love it or hate it" movie for most fans, so another adaptation would definitely be awesome if pulled off right.
JohnMoonlord 1 year ago
@JohnMoonlord Ok never mind now i know who you're talking about. I actually read the book before i watched the movie, so the movie seemed sort of incoherent to me. It also had a gimmicky dreary 80's feel to it which i didn't like, but that's just a personal preference. It's a tough book to squeeze into a movie time. I think it would be best if it was divided into parts, it is a long book.

@JACKtheRIPP3R189It's definitly quite a challenge.
If anything, LotR helped show that movies over 3 hours long are worth it both financially and critically. Still have a lot of catching up and convincing to do on that, but hopefully, producers and studios helming the new Dune movie project will realize just how much "running time if of the essence" for such a dense story.

@JohnMoonlord -- Maybe it was a different person (and if true then I apologize) but *someone* with a nickname like that was getting hyper upset about Wesley Crusher's gay orange sweater, which it was. I just thought it was really funny because the other JacktheRipper was going on and on and about how gay Wesley looked. I mean, you know.... get a room already.

Don't get me wrong, adapting Dune would be hard as Hell and tricky, but it is feasable.

@OneEyedJack1970 He doesn't have the royal bearing of Jose Ferrer. But who does? I like the Baron in the SciFi version better. Lynch's Baron was too over-the-top.

What is this garbage ? Is this from Tv ?
The people who made it should be shot summarily.
Ok. The Bene Gesserit DO NOT wear ridiculous butterfly wings.
The Emperor does not have fuckign grey hair.
The Sardauker are supposed to look scary.
These guys like like Vegan Lesbians.
The Baron is supposed to be alot fatter, see that's why he NEEDS suspensors to move.
These idiots cut out one of the best lines from the book. "he has righteousness as his sword and heaven smiles upon him"

I agree. I've always loved the Bene Gesserit in all their power.This is too teatrically for them. The costumes are silly as they are known to wear simple clothes.They control their emotions.The truth is it's hard to make a good movie after a briliant book,but i suggest they keep trying

The remake was awesome, if it wasn't for terrible accents from shitty minor actors and had it not been made years ago with shitty graphics it would've been a classic, irulan, paul, leto, jessica, all very nicely played.

I would say more like clowns. In the original movie they at least looked a bit scarier in their black suits. Same goes for harkonens and the stilsuits...
