The books are chock full of the various character's internal dialog, and when you make the choice to leave that aspect out, there is quite a bit of richness missing.
This version went the "show, don't tell" route. Visually, its amazing, but so much additional information from the book to help you understand the characters, the groups they belong to, and their motivations was left out.
I think the Sci Fi channel Dune miniseries did the best job of putting across the full richness of the book, albeit with a made for TV budget.
- queuebert 3y agoThe Sci-Fi channel Children of Dune miniseries is highly underrated as well.
- hax0ron3 3y agoI don't know why so many people hate the whispery Lynch Dune voiceovers. I think they work great to convey both extra content and the mysterious, intrigue-laden mood of the book.
- GeekyBear 3y agoI love the Lynch version's sets, costumes, props, and art direction in general.
- magicalhippo 3y ago> This version went the "show, don't tell" route. While I agree it makes it difficult to understand motives, on the other hand I love that they don't over-explain stuff. So many movies ruined by not trusting the audience with half a brain.
