Duke_Alex_Atreides Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 for the first time this weekend i watched the new dune mini and it sucked, 'cause it doesn't follow the book at all, for instance in the book chani asked paul, "tell me of the waters of thy birthworld, Usul" and in the mini she askes "tell me of the waters of thy birthworldm Muad'Dib", your views please.

Acriku Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Oh well, atleast it didn't change the course of the story. Was this the mini from SciFi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 hmm.... i don't agree with god emperor alex atreides.... actually i found the miniseries to be great.. sure.... there may be little changes.... it's still great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I like both mini series and first movie, but I much prefer Lynch one. Mini was more detailed but Lynch was great, it has "atmosphere" and I think Harkonnen were better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Alex_Atreides Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 yes i agree the harkonnen didi fight better than in the mini, but another thing bugged me, the characters didn't look as they were descired in the book, heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 actually lynch's dune was not as accurate as the mini series. not by a long shot. I like lynch's directing thogu hand thought that lynch's version better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yes, although the miniseries went into deeper detail than Lynch's could have ever done, Lynch's Dune is a lot more...Artistic, if you will. Niether Dune was completely accurate, house colors and clothing for the Mini, physical descriptions, etc. And of course the hated Wierding devices in Lynch's version. But above all I'v got to say I really appreciate both. Too bad Lynch can't team up with the creators of the mini and make a movie that we *all* could appreciate ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 The mini-series by Harrison is made out of plastic Lynch's version is carved out of stone. I prefer Lynch because as G_H said of the atmosphere due to Lynch's vision. There is an element in Harrison's version for me that is not found although he does give certain visuals on things that Lynch did not explore in his version i.e. the drowning of the worm to obtain the water of life and more of the life of the Fremen (inside the community). I think Lynch was closer to the look of the book (minus the Guild navigator and the Sardukar representations). We all understand that Lynch's movie does not follow the story complete (weirding modules not included) but Lynch's version just has something that the mini-series does not for me.

Frodo Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 What I didn't like about the mini series was that you could tell that the backdrops were painted and they didn't look real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 still, i found the special FX quite pleasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Tee good thing with mini is that they made almost whole part about sietch and the war between Harkonnen/Sardaukar/Fremen. In Lynch Dune is only mentioned about war and love between Chani and Paul. But Lynch made thing more duney, Bene Gesserit are more misterious and in book they are mistery cos they are invisible power. And at the begining Paul in Lynch is more like Paul in book.
