[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1058976, member: 72205"] Dune: Well its certainly not the David Lynch version, my wife who didn't know the story at all was able to follow it even with the removal of internal monologuing from that version and the book. Although keeping track of the characters names might be a bit difficult outside of Paul and Jessica. She though Baron Harkonnen was the Emperor and Rabban was head of the Harkonnens. As you've probably heard its about half of the first book and it labelled as Part One this gives everything breathing room but the first 45mins or so is pretty exposition heavy as there is ton of world building to. Its also pretty slow moving but does pick up pace once it gets a bit more into thing. Timothée Chalamet is great as Paul starting off as confused and unaware young adult growing into a more assured man. I liked it quite a bit, my wife enjoyed it even more. My only only worry is because it is slow and ponderous it won't find a big enough audience to justify Part Two and Part Three (which is supposed to cover Dune Messiah). [/QUOTE]
