Hi, all. I figure this is a pretty good place to ask the following question. Neither my friend Roy nor I have seen or read Dune. I've decided to remedy this. ...
I'd go with the Sci-Fi miniseries. MUCH closer to the book, yes, but since you haven't read the book I don't think that should be a major consideration. It is,...
... Ummm... How about just reading the book? Dune is one of the best SF books of all time and is vastly superior to either the movie or the mini-series...
... Like someone else said, read the book. it really is worth the effort. Failing that, you'll want to see the intro and voice overs from the 4 hour version...

Well, I actually saw the movie before the I read the book and I enjoyed it well enough. Of course, a good part of that was teenage lust for Sting ;) Your...
... Ahh... in that case I'd vote for the Lynch movie. It's shorter than the mini-series, has some pretty darn neat effects, and some really cheesy bits that...
