7/8/2023 0 Comments Dune miniseries![]() ![]() I realize that this was a made for cable TV series, but the low budget is very obvious. ![]() Those cheesy lines were certainly not in the book, so I did my best to look past them. It is a shame that they took such a faithfully accurate character and made him talk in cheesy poetry at the end of almost every scene of his. The Baron in the miniseries is very much like the character from the novel, and is much more convincing. I particularly appreciated that the Baron Harkonnen was not completely blown out of proportion as in the 1984 movie. With that said, the miniseries does have a few faults, most of which can be forgiven. The events are laid out much like the novel, and don’t feel rushed like the 1984 movie. With a run time of almost 4.5 hours (6 when viewed with commercials), most of the major plot elements are covered. Overall, the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries is far more faithful to Frank Herbert’s vision for Dune than the 1984 movie.
