When a powerful family is sent to Arrakis as a prelude to its destruction, one boy learns the way of the desert planet and escapes to its native peoples after an attack.

Very good, but longer than I recall. I enjoyed the seriousness of the story, but found for a movie they could have increased the pace a little -it brought me back to old-school storytelling, at a much more relaxed pace. For that, it was enjoyable.

Although this movie is longer than the previous one, it hits all the same notes. It has different settings, but because it follows the book very closely, there isn't much room to maneuver. The sets are huge and awe-inspiring, and the political landscape is laid out clearly here, where the enemy is engaged in a great battle. But it seems that the story is only just beginning when it ends.
