It truly is jam-packed with awesomeness. The Blu-ray looks amazing.
The ending is maybe the second greatest thing ever committed to celluloid.

Dune is like Cabbys mom, heavily overrated yet somehow everyone just keeps going back for another round.

Dune is an awesome book. David Lynch didnt even read the book. The production of of the old Dune movie was very troubled and the Lynch version even if the most innaccrate to the book is still the most entertaining.

You can tell the story behind it was sophomoric at best (the independent nomads of the desert are known as ... Fremen?  ) but David Lynch brought all his glorious guns to bear to create a staggering, visually intelligent epic.

The movie is massively innaccurate. The secret weapon the Baron used to defeat Pauls family was artillary and of course the turned Suk doctor. There was no sound weapons in the book
The vehicles used to travel around dune were thopters which was vehicles with flapping wings. Dont know how that wouldve worked unless Dune had less gravity than Earth which is possible. It was never mentioned.
Also even though black looks cool on film its the worst color to wear in the desert lol

Well the Fremen wear clothes that are the sand colored so its easy for them to hide and not be spotted.
Also many of the machines used in the Dune movie would be prohibited by the Butararian Jihad as being thinking machines.

Trollfail number two!
The movie did a good job of capturing the feeling of the books, but was wildly inaccurate in so many ways. The movie was very good, but all six books are awesome!

I love all six books too. All the original books by Frank are great. I even like some of Franks other non Dune books too. His son is a meh author.

I love how they are actually living in a future version of the dark ages with technology actually being much higher before the former empire fell. Frank sure had a great imagination

You think the Fremen were white in the book? You agree that they looked civilized even though they live in caves?
Oh wait, it shouldn't surprise me that you think that cave dwelling is a modern convenience...

I though the movie was badly done trash, especially coming from a guy like Lynch.
