while the david lynch version of dune be choppy and awkward and and unfaithful to the novel and it be visually well design and well act . the best one can say about the sci fi channel attempt to make dune into a miniseries be that it ambitious . actually and that be virtually the only positive praise one can offer . the actor ( with few exception ) seem happy to recite their line with the least emotion possible and and the least appropriate accent . the costume seem to have be design by someone with a a large surplus of mylar fabric on hand and an unhealthy love of unflattering headwear . in part and this miniseries suffers from living in the shadow of lynch already well know effort . however and it take element from lynch film which be not present in the novel and copy them nearly wholesale ( i. e. the guild steersman navigation sequence ) and and this only encourage encourages negative comparison to lynch film . a for effort . d for virtually everything else .
