I gave it a fair shot but was sadly disappointed. Unriviting character development- I didn't fall in love with any of the characters or their relationships one with one another. The same goes for the backstory, the different houses, the emperor's involvement, the Space Guild, and on and on. Paul and his mother lack their loving closeness and Paul is mostly unlikeable and weasely. No mention of the weirding module technology and the worry it gives the emporer? Do yourself a favor and watch David Lynch's sci-fi masterpiece instead of this big-budget action flick. This falls short in everyway except state of the art CGI.
