That is forever. maybe watch the syfy dune miniseries, and children of dune miniseries? warnings: costumes in the syfy dune miniseries were curiously cheap and cheesy. if you haven't seen, am not able to accurate describe the level o' bad. alec newman were trying to act young in dune, which were a mistake. we thought newman were a horrible actor, but then we saw children of dune and realized he were at least competent. whether it were director's fault or actor's prerogative regarding how to portray the s'posed fifteen year-old and small for his age paul, the syfy dune version o' muad'dib were distracting at times. not as distracting as costumes, but close. william hurt phoned in his portrayal as duke leto. for any leto scene a cardboard cutout o' jürgen prochnow from dune (1984) coulda' been inserted into the film with some random male vo actor reading the duke's lines and woulda' been better than william hurt pretending to contribute to the project. as an aside, am not a fan o' dune messiah or children of dune books. understatement. nevertheless, the children of dune miniseries, other than the end which were terrible 'cause o' frank herbert and were no way to fix if remaining faithful to source material were a goal, was excellent and entertaining... and the costumes were much improved if hardly hollywood movie quality. HA! Good Fun!

Raithe Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The one thing that was fairly impeccable throughout both of SyFy's mini-series.. are the soundtracks. The rest of it, had some ups and downs. For elements of an adaption, they were also fairly faithful to the books (with certain allowances for budget and time). 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Raithe Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Inama Nushif is a wonderful montage sequence and a way to tell a huge chunk of book story in a cinematic medium. The editing of the visuals along with the music just hits all the right emotional tones for me. I can almost forgive the sins of the series on the basis of that section alone.
