Now, why didn't this movie get his American version? The book was terrific, no less from the first book. It was different, but still extraordinary. This trilogy of books didn't get to be such a phenomenon for a reason. But for many reasons. The movie is a little bit hard for me to judge as a reader.
The movie is compelling, for those who read the book. That's for sure. For those who didn't read it, not so sure. It misses a lot of information and plot branches, but remains interesting and thrilling. I know what is going to be on each and every stage, but would I be so trapped if not reading the book? Will it remain clear to me if I haven't read it? Not so sure.
I remember the first movie was over detailed with a lot of stuff, which relates to facts in the book, which a regular audience member will not understand fully without reading the book. This one, with its plot, is maybe simpler and thus also may be more coherent for those who didn't read the book. So, it's a win for it, over the first, that was better in his English version.
The missing details, characters and plot developments doesn't pull this to be a bad way to tell the story. Missing indeed, but it still needs to be a movie and not a series (which might not be such a bad idea). I had several cases of misunderstanding of why several things went down in the editing from the book to film, but didn't dwell on it.
All in all, it was a good movie, which run very quickly to tell the most important parts from the book and did it better then the first Swedish movie to the first book. The acting was decent and I find myself having a great time watching the second time, right after finishing to read the book. It was solid performance and now I cant wait to read and watch the third part.

It seemed like another series that will take me to sleep and doesn't leave a mark. Well...it kinda did. For part of the time. I knew what I was facing a lot before I laid my eyes on this show. It's part of "Dune's" world, so it's pretty understood what will be the pace of it. Not fast.
And yet...it was pretty damn fast, for a "Dune" show. But not unique enough to be remembered or to have any impact on the internet even. Seems like this show doesn't have a lot of crowed, though the movies made it...big time. This show almost gives the feeling it doesn't believe in marketing. Almost like she went out secretly.
The show tells us the story about the bene gesserit - the order and movement, which has a silent consultant in each and every major house of the Galaxy and especially in the house of the big boss of the entire galaxy - the emperor. This series can be labeled as Mini-Series, once you grasp you only have six episodes, but it is not a bad fact, in my opinion.
It tells several stories simultaneously, but the major story is the clash between the paths of the order and one rough soldier, that got too much power in him. The length of the series doesn't let us sink our teeth into each and every character we meet, though each episode is stretched for about an hour long.
Even though the universe is supposed to be very unique and according to Frank Herbert vision, it lacks Ararkis's touch, vibe and magic. It was known that the plot will happen 10,000 years before the original story's plot, but still...it feels a little bit detached, estranged and not so related to the source itself.
Both two first chapters grasp the audience that did want to take the chance and gets reworded. Once they are hooked, the is a decrease in the pace and interest and off course, the big bang in the end of the season, to keep us wondering, after closing several open ends from the season.
And the season ends well, no doubt and is pretty solid, for a new series in town, but still...when comparing to the movies' magnitude, it seems that something here is not in the same caliber and missing. Great directing, world building and visualization and even the cast is good and solid (especially Travis Fimmel), but something feels missing to make it rememberable other than plot and vibe.
Still...an experiment that will continue to grow and adapt, might take his impact on other movies, that are planned as part of "Dune's" universe, but remains intriguing for us - regular audience and Dune likers. For now we are talking about a good TV show that didn't find its way to stand out...for now...

Never have I ever wanted a movie to finish as I wanted this one to finish. It seemed endless, but finally it came to its end. I have seen the grade, but sometimes there is an exaggeration regarding some of the movies, that has big actors' names in them - this seemed like one of them.
Well...its not. The audience was getting easy with this movie, as I see it. It deserves each and every low grade it got, because it was, all in one, Pretentious, bloated and yet so poorly written and executed. It has several stages when I was certain someone is having a laugh or two on my account.
We are talking about a movie with actors that looks like someone made them be there and "act" if you can call this thing acting. Even both big stars of this movie are doing a favor by being there. This movie revolved the same issue all along and didn't feel like it is going anywhere, but really the acting was something unusual.
Ralph Fiennes is not at his best in this movie, to say the least, but Charlie Plummer is just a disgrace - looks like a caricature of an actor. Juliette Binoche shows us that her fine days are behind her and all other "small" actors are not different from the ones in the leading roles. Looks like a B movie. For real.
This movie is just a great good night sleeping peel. No use to watch it, not sure for whom was it made for. Its pretty much detached and not connected to any specific audience and if it was any good...but it is not. Probably should pass it and listen to your primal instinct.
