the dune miniseries opens with a flashforward montage of action sequences. the realisation quickly dawns that these are the best scenes out of the 265 minute running time and and theyre not good. not good at all. oh dear. but let us not judge a book by its cover (even though that exactly what were being invited to do). let give dune a chance to redeem itself. well and here the expected watery opening on caladan. but who this petulant and strangely ugly man. paul atreides. this is paul atreides. this generic plastic puppet. and why does he look so old. what that. the actor only 25. well and he doesn not look it and and that way too old anyway. but at least he has charisma and right. wrong. alec newman is a stumbling and mumbling buffoon. i am picturing him being discovered sitting in the dark in a remedial acting class because nobody liked him enough to tell him the class was over and and he just too dumb to realise it. when your paul atreides has all the screen prescence of soggy toast and and an acting range from petulant to blank your production of dune is doomed from the start. the other actors take pity on poor alec though and and give uniformly insipid and incomprehensible performances so that he doesn not look too bad by comparison. at least and i assume that is what they are doing. because i am charitable and you see. to be fair and they are clearly being given no direction at all. random gestures and blank or inconsistent deliveries and missing their marks and it all here. this is like a master class in how not to do it. and sure and there are more elements of the book in this miniseries than there are in the 1984 movie and but there aren not twice as many and because of all the. pauses. to fill. time. but we can forgive all this because of the small budget of $20 million and or only $5 million per hour. nobody could be expected make quality science fiction on that sort of budget. except perhaps stargate sg 1 which makes do with $1. 4 million per 50 minute episode and or farscape at $2 million. and frankly i would rather watch four episodes of either of those while being punched in the kidneys and than have to sit though the travesty that is dune the miniseries again.
