Query: Makes no sense if you haven't read the book, and a bad adaptation if you have.

I watched the bluray Dune a few days after I read the book. I can say that the movie is terrible by comparison.As others have said, it seems that they tried to stuff too much into this film without actually going into any details. Most characters seem completely misrepresented in my opinion for what little you are able to see of individual characters, and there is not explanation of the background or process of events. For example, in one scene Paul decides that he must ride a worm, then in the following scene, he does it right away without any indication of being trained or any time passing. This story should not be told in a 2 hour movie. It is impossible to understand what is going on and why unless you have the time to explain and develop ideas. If you enjoyed the book, do yourself a favor and pass this movie up.
