I read the book before the movie, yet I still liked the movie. It's not a pure adaptation by any means but it has style, it's not really good but it's glorious. It's a mess but there's imagination and it took guts to make this movie. And I love the guild navigators!
By contrast the Scyfy mini-serie is closer to the book but is boring in that it doesn't bring anything compared to the book.
Granted last time I saw the Lynch movie was 20 years ago about but I'll watch it again this month :-)
Another completely different take on Dune that used scenes from the movie and was really great even though it was very loosely based on the book was the game from Cryo. If you have a chance to play it, do it. It's a very weird and interesting mix of adventure and strategy.
It's actually kind of amazing how much inspiration this book gave to multiple innovative projects from the Lynch movie, the Jodorowsky movie (I wish I could go to a parallel universe where this movie got made...), the first real RTS Dune 2, the weird and imaginative Dune game from Cryo...
- Sainth 11y agoThe Dune game from Cryo is one of my favorite games of all time. It has cartoony graphics and solid controls so it is still a very playable game and the combination of adventure and strategy is really well done. Would love to see more games combining adventure and strategy like that. Though I am afraid as a genre it doesn't cater to a very wide audience.
