I think Dune is brilliant - the sequels, not as good, but certainly worth reading as long as they hold your interest.

I thought the movie was OK too, but the Mini Series format from a few years ago did a better job - had more time to work with.

“I thought the movie was OK too,”

It seemed to me as if the movie ran out of money for special effects about one third of the way into it.

“Dune” challenged me to keep up with the characters as well as the theme...it could get confusing....so I read it again after seeing the movie.

Interesting is how “spice” reminded me much of today's politics of “oil”.....which commerce and military...transportation etc. is dependent on. I watched the movie more than a few times and saw each time something more that aligned with the politics of oil today.....of course I watched with that in mind as well.

I preferred the movie over the read..... easier to keep the characters front and center.

The Sci Fi channel Dune and Children of Dune miniseries were good.
