Haven't seen the latest Dune movie. Only about a week ago heard that there is a brand new version. Saw the old David Lynch version, and some TV miniseries in the early 00s or a decade later, don't remember exactly. I liked the David Lynch visuals and some moments, but the entire story didn't feel right. Very rushed at some points. I don't know, I like that movie ... but not like some great, definitive version. The series wasn't visually so interesting, there was plenty of not-so-great CGI and kind of cheap TV production moments, but it was longer and the narrative was more clear and enjoyable.
:D Maybe this last one is perfect because of the third-time lucky rule. I don't know how the new movie looks, didn't saw the trailer, have no idea about it.

I never watched the old version of the movie because it looked way too cheesy to me - tacky really. The new movie came out this year, in some countries. I thought that it was quite good overall. It followed very closely to the book and they made book one into 3 parts, so given that the book really wasn't that long, that kind of tells you the level of detail put in. They are going slow, not rushing through the story. Normally I would say that they are just milking it for more money but in this case I didn't feel that way at all. To do the world and the culture of Dune justice it has to be told slow and in full detail. That's my opinion on it. It's worth a watch if you're able to find it.
Cool. I will surely watch it one day. Good science fiction is relatively rare in the movies.
