Profile of Dune

The mood of Dune is atmospheric, stylized, and bleak. The plot centers around space wars, an imaginary kingdom, and political unrest. It is an adventure, sci-fi, and fantasy TV show. Stylistically, Dune is a mini-series and is epic. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It happens in the future. Dune is inspired by a film, a remake, and based on a book. It is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night.

Summary of Dune

A more thorough and straightforward adaptation of Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi novel than the 1984 David Lynch version, this six-hour Sci Fi Channel miniseries, written and directed by John Harrison, follows the Atreides family's adventures on the desert planet Arrakis. Far into the future, various factions fight for the valuable melange spice that exists exclusively on Arrakis and is protected by fierce, gigantic sandworms. While the indigenous, blue-eyed Arrakisians wait for their Messiah to free them from the corrupt Harkonnens, the family Atreides endures infighting and political intrigue. This sprawling and reverent production features a cast that includes William Hurt, Giancarlo Giannini, Alec Newman, Julie Cox, and Matt Keeslar.

I've heard this version was more true to the book than Lynch's, but that sure didn't make it worth watching. This was painful to sit through, at least until I became numb to the awfulness of it all, and it started to be so bad it was almost funny....
