Frank Herbert's Dune

"As much as I thought this mini series grasped the family drama of the Atreides and Harkonnen, I was tripped up by all of the politics. I think the plot wanted to be too sophisticated for the time allowed. However, once I got over myself, I just tried to overlook the jargon and focus on everything else. This is a good adaptation, and the cast is well fit for their respective roles. The cinematography is good for small screen sci-fi action. "

"A nice adaptation of the book of Dune though lighter compared to the 1984 version which is seen as closer in some ways to Dune!"

" The mini-series gets the story right. Otherwise it has low budget looking sets and costumes that are a distraction. If you can get passed the flaws. It’s possibly the most faithful. Since the new movies cut out that the sister is a creepy child. This is the only version that had Paul and Chani have a child that was killed. As well. "

"For Dune "completists" mostly. This is a made-for-tv production. You'll need to overlook bad special effects, cheap sets, and some poor acting. But somewhat faithful to book, with some scenes not in other adaptations. There were some great performances: William Hurt as Duke Leto, Ian McNiece (brilliant, maybe my favorite Baron), Julie Cox in an expanded role for Princess Irulan (but it worked somehow), and the actress who played Lady Jessica. Flawed, but I enjoyed it."

"So far the more faithful of the two adaptations. The vfx are outdated, but if you're looking for something that follows the book, this is it."

"Absolutely gripping"
