  • Neither Villeneuve or Lynch's films come anywhere near to portraying the real meat of the story, which is Paul's struggles with his destiny as a messiah and inspiration for galactic Jihad. Neither do they consider much of the ecological aspects. They just made a nice adventure film in the desert with some big worms.

  • Yeah, this is why I wanted to read the book first: I dislike it when I take the imprint of a film into a book, especially where the film is the inferior product.

    Big worms are cool though.

  • Why I'm glad they've never filmed any Culture novels. I don't think I could bring myself to watch them. The TV version of the Crow Road was OK I suppose.
