Dune: Book, Movie, Miniseries.
hedgie:
It’s one of those things where I found that it was 90-95% of the way there, and the missing/altered bits were driving me crazy. I had to take a mental step back, and realise that it’s good as a film, and probably the best that we could expect from Hollywood.
Tova:
If "the unadaptable book" is getting 90-95% of the way there, then I'll happily take that.

DUNE: Part 2 has now been green lit.
LeeC:
I re-watched the movie at home and I have to say, it looks a hell of a lot better at home on my TV than that movie theater I saw it in. I liked it better this time around and I can't wait until part 2. I think my biggest problem is that I had an unrealistically high expectation for the movie. Comparing it to the mini-series isn't fair as they are pretty much opposites. The mini series explains a lot more because they didn't have the visual effect nor production budget that 2021 has and so they focused more on explaining the characters and plot, whereas the 2021 does have the budget to do all those things and tries to show more in regards to Caladan, the Atreides, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if in part 2, those explanations I was hoping for will come into play, but I am also trying not to set those expectations either. I do worry however that they are making Paul out to be a messiah not unlike what Lynch did when that's not really what his story is about.

A list of some deleted or cut scenes from the 2021 movie:

Those mentat scenes should have been kept in, same with Paul and Jessica's combat practice and those moments with Dr. Yueh. I hope we get an extended version, but I'm not holding my breath. Looks like they shot some before and after banquet scenes too.
