Hi All,

As some of you might know, I'm not a huge movie, or tv, fan. But, there are some stories where after reading the books, you want to see them on the big-screen.

Many years ago, I read the Dune books. Having been more than a little bit disappointed by the movie adaptations in the past, I was a bit leery to watch the newest.

Well, yesterday, my wife, son and I went to see it in the theater, and were very impressed. 

First, a lot of the dialog in the movie, was taken almost verbatim from the book. They were also able to create realistic looking visual effects that followed their descriptions in the book. (visualization of the shields comes to mind)

Yes, there were some parts of the story that were not included in this, part 1, movie. Perhaps they will work them into part 2.

Overall, this is a very good adaptation of the book. If you are a fan of Dune, or have at least read the first Dune book from Frank Herbert, you will not be disappointed.
