I'll stick with Kyle Maclachlan

I thought this movie was terrible. In comparison to the 1984 version of this film (which I love) I was extremely disappointed. My friends and I are huge Dune fans, and we anticipated this movie like there was no tomorrow. I mean, who better to make a science fiction flick like Dune than the SciFi channel? Right? WRONG !! I felt the acting was completely wooden, like people read their lines without trying to emphasize the context. They also went to great lengths to pronounce words differently than the David Lynch movie (like saying Chainey instead of Chani). The special effects in this film looked like they were out of a Playstation one video game (not a Capcom game either, but some small cheesy development company). They did include much more of the book in this one, but I'll take quality over quantity any day. I was unable to identify or form an attachment to any of the characters in this film. Terrible acting, terrible movie, terrible time.

score 2/10
