This movie was, visually, a treat. The story was somewhat close to the Lynch original film, but I found the original to be more balanced, even though much of it was narrated, to assist the viewer in understanding the plot. The Lynch movie had a conclusive closure, this movie seemed to close with a design on a sequel. Poor form. I found the audio to be uneven, (I watched on HBO) and found myself adjusting the volume throughout the film, from louder to softer and back. The switch between audio and captions was annoying as well, for me. Even though we have had a lot of technical advances since the original film, for me, I thought that, overall, the original film was a much better, overall, movie.
