slswriter13 I believe this showed on SyFy and it is time to show it again. The original Dune (not as good by far) has been on cable lately and it rating is going up so even if it's available on cable streaming it is time to show it again on TV. Perhaps it's time to give someone a kick in the butt suggestion. I am sure whoever owns the copy write now would take a chance to make a new following for this sequel series of great books. There are many of us scifi/fantasy fans who are thrilled it has finally a movie genre resurrected since the Aliens Franchise, the last great series besides Star Wars to have a classic shown. So if you agree and know where to write, believe me I will find out, lets get this party going.

Elswet While this is not Dune itself but a continuation thereof, I believe that this is the closest so far, to capture the real feel of Herbert's source material. The meat has not been bastardized, and the spices are not absent.I still cannot say this is definitive, but we're getting closer to a genuine Herbert movie. Even though this expounds on the tale instead of retelling it, it is a more than worthy sequel to the two preceding attempts, and is far superior in virtually every way. The story missing from the first attempt is present, and the effects missing from the second attempt are present, yet it still lacks, though not by much.Here's hoping Peter Berg's 2010 Dune lives up to this work. Dare we even hope it will surpass it? It would not be nice to have the made for TV sequel shine above a more technologically adept remade original. ;)All in all? I love this, although it does feel overly long and has more than its share of wasted film. This is not Friday/Saturday night viewing, as it IS too long for that, but it's perfect for a snow/rainy day activity. Give a little of the Baby Boomer culture to the grandkids.This is a worthy sequel which surpasses a classic cult sci-fi juggernaut and as such, rates an 8.8/10 on the M4TV scale from...the Fiend :.

swearm_x I loved the first picture by Lynch. Nothing left of the spirit it told and the atmosphere it had in these.Dumb and dull lines, glorifying violence, scenes which defy logic e.g.: ever thought of carrying a worm on a "stretcher" hanging on a space-ship to another planet? Oops and nobody cares about these intruders - not even the all knowing ONE registers. But he and his squadrons do have a brutal regency which seeks revenge. Exploitation mixed with boredom and lousy, romantically intended but nicely light flushed scenes, with probably animated background. Weather the book is better and the movies fall short or both are crap.Nice costumes though!

dosomeeffingscience There was a lot of good stuff in Children Of Dune, all the great characters and themes from the book, and a lot of talent went into making it. But all anyone *does* is wander around looking like they're plotting something. Who wants to watch that? It was more like Next Generation than the original Star Trek. Picard always wants to pursue a dialogue and find a diplomatic solution, occasionally raising his voice in an authoritative shakespearean manner. Yawn! Kirk would get in there and punch someone's lights out, or kiss them. Or both! Sex and violence, kiss 'em and kick 'em, that's what we want to see.So, good to look at, if you're a Dune fan and just want to see the story told in moving pictures. Otherwise, zzzzzz....
