Very well done especially when compared to the first attempted film! Being a fan of the original literature, I do wonder if viewers will be confused by characters or events that may not be clearly apparent to those unfamiliar with the source material. A must-watch for ANY fan of the books, or science fiction in general. Even at its relatively long runtime, I was on the edge of my seat to see what happened next and the credits rolled. Definitely give a watch whether you are new to the Dunivers, an fan of science fiction, the books or cinema in general.
