[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8454434, member: 20564"] It's not unfilmable - proof: they have filmed it several times. Your hyperbole is no good here. What Dune is, is a work that took great advantage of the strengths of one medium. The idea that it can't be translated into a medium that does not share those strengths - ignoring the strengths of the other medium simply because they are not the same - is elitist purism. It is like saying that a movie with a good score is "unwritable" and can never be turned into a book. And yes, the score is one of the great things about this. Another was the amazing sense of humongous scale - so visceral when seen. I'm looking to go see it for my second viewing in IMAX to maximize those. I'm not saying this was the perfect Dune. What I am saying is that proclaiming it dead because the format changes is shortsighted and false - each format has it's own strengths that it brings. [/QUOTE]
