My only regret is that they didn’t add in my favorite Stilgar (Uwe Ochsenknecht) quote from the book:ĭo as she says, you wormfaced, crawling, sand-brained piece of lizard turd! Even the purists will be able to enjoy this film and match it up with what they read in the book. In all they did a fantastic job with Herber’s story and it is one that is going to be cherished for years to come by both SciFi fans and Frank Herbert fans alike. If they had not made the changes the relationship with his mother Lady Jessica (Saskia Reeves) and Chani (Barbora Kodetová) then legal and moral problems might have arisen and they would not have been able to do some of the scenes that they did. Some things have to be changed for legal, ethical and logistical reasons at times.

I don’t see why, in the book Leto was a cynic and Pual a questioning and bitter person and I think that the 2 actors did a wonderful if not accurate portrayal of the characters other then the fact Paul was supposed to be about 14 at the time. There have been criticism that William Hurt as Leto and Alec Newman and Paul Muad’Dib were bad choices. More films need to be made more accurate to their sources. This reviewer feels that if Herbert had seen the film he would have enjoyed it and would have felt good about it.

They don’t try to embellish or make up stuff for the story they want this film is more of a tribute to Frank Herbert himself. Things had to be left out but Artisan took great pains to make sure that the film was accurate to the book in what they filmed and it shows. A point many other reviews from other sources have noted. Spice also gives its user a longer then normal life.Īll of these facts and factors are used in the film and this film really is the closest to the original story that you can get. It is a closely guarded secret that only the Reverend Mothers of the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild know about. It is this ability to connect 2 points in space that allows them to instantly transport entire fleets of ships from one end of the empire to the other. It smells and tastes of Cinnamon and it is what give the Spacing Guild Navigators the ability to fold or bend space to their will. Dune is one of if not the most important planet in the entire Galactic Empire, it is where the rare substance Spice or Melange is found. Seeing how Leto’s popularity is growing Vladimir makes sure that Dune is going to be given to Leto. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Ian McNeice) is a vile ruler and is both ruthless and cunning. Duke Leto Atreides (William Hurt) is a popular ruler and popular among the other great houses of the empire, so great that the Empiror himself fells threatened by him.

House Atreides and house Harkonnen have been at war with each other for centuries and are also royal houses and both next in line for the throne if the Padishah Emperor SHADDAM IV and his family die. This is not the crap that David Lynch and Sting brought us, this is a riveting tale of how a boy becomes a man and then the Savior of the entire planet and his family. This is a classic and if SciFy had not become SyFy we might have gotten all of the books done this well. Sometimes Artisan Home Entertainment can give us some real stinkers but this is not one of them. This film makes you want to root for the characters, your entire body needs for them to succeed.

It is also about the coming of a Messiah that is supposed to free the people of the desert planet Dune also called Arrakis. It is a story of intrigue, politics, betrayal, lust, greed.
