The movie was terrible. Spriteling Send a noteboard - 04/10/2009 01:07:00 PM
In 1984 I saw the film "Dune", I'd never read the books beforehand.

It seemed to me that the film was a lot of chopped up shots with little to connect them.

I couldn't figure out how the different shots were related, I found it totally over my head and thus very schnooze-worthy.

Can anyone convince me I should read the books?


It did not accurately portray the book at all. The book is fantastic science fiction. It's also very thought-provoking. You should read the book just to dispel the bad impressions you got from the movie.
