Paul Atreides is important. Why? Because the movie treats im so. He is destined, central to everything, yet he often feels more like a concept than a person.

The major issue I had with DUNE 2 was that I was not really believe his move from opposing to accepting his “fate”. I found it as unconvincing as Anakin’s turn to the dark side in the Star Wars prequels.

I never saw the television series – FRANK HERBERT’S DUNE and CHILDREN OF DUNE. Although I have the wonderful soundtracks by Graeme Revell and Brian Tyler, respectively.

I did. They have some issue with SFX as a lot of backgrounds were early digital projections and you often see it. I think you can find uploads on youtube if you like to peek. Just looked, English version have muddy image quality but there is a German version of the first series that looks quite good.
