I've looked at the recent Dune adaptation as well as the original 1984 film. So, with the the long-awaited sequel coming out I thought it was time to look at the three-part mini-series that aired on the SYFY channel back in 2000. When it was announced and finally released, I was excited. We'd finally get to see the full book get its due on the screen - albeit on the smaller television screen at home as opposed to the big screen at the theater - but this version would have much better graphics and would be able to cover the areas that the 1984 film just didn't have time to deal with. But, did the advantage of longer running time and superior special effects make this the best Dune adaptation? Let's see shall we.
