Along the lines of the original movie Dune with a few added scenes. Better if you have not seen the original Dune.

In several top 100 Scifi book listings, you'll find Dune in the top ten, if not number one. Like Tolkien's work, a rich mythology is contained, and shifted frames of reference to familiarize oneself with. Aired in year 2000 on the Syfy Channel, this miniseries is the most faithful (so far) to the actual novel, although I think Lynch's 1984 film version more correctly assimilated the tone. This Director's Cut has an extra half hour and a bit of frontal nudity. So ensure all kiddios in the room are blindfolded whilst viewing.

Frank Herbert left us with 6 main Dune novels upon passing. Years later, his son Brian discovered a 5 inch floppy disc in a lock box which contained a detailed outline of where Frank had intended to take the franchise. And so, Brian, a Scifi writer himself has done just so, with the assistance of Kevin J. Anderson. Which has added an additional 17 titles and several short stories to the mix. Brian's writing style is quite linear and different than his father's, who often told his tales with an apprentice/pedagogue dialogue.

I've read all of these selections and am surprised that Hollywood has not latched onto this universe and produced an ongoing television series, which could well rival many of the popular Scifi franchises out there. A two-part film (of the original novel) is currently being made by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival and Blade Runner 2049.) Which will give us a third version of this tale.

Whatever potential this movie might have had in writing was quickly ruined by pointless and excessive voice-overs, too much over-acting (and even under-acting (Sting, for example)). The plot was convoluted and poorly explained, even though the overwhelming amount of thought-overs from the characters was supposed to clarify the political power plays that run throughout the novel of Dune.
This movie is an example of what over-thinking a complicated novel looks like.
