On the desert planet of Dune, the ancient prophecy has been fulfilled: the rule of the legendary Muad'dib has triggered a miraculous transformation of the arid wastelands. But as always, the Great Houses of the Empire are alive with rumors of conspiracy, plotting and betrayal. And when Muad'dib no longer wields absolute power as the Emperor, his young son Leto Atreides and daughter Ghanima face the prospect of a disastrous civil war on Arrakis - and chaos on a galactic scale. Now, with the future of the vital Spice trade in the balance, the destiny of humanity itself will depend on the courage, strength and otherworldly wisdom of The Children of Dune!

Definitely better in terms of special effects than the Dune TV movie, and similarly in terms of story. This is a pivotal turning point in the entire "Dune" book series, and in how its world will be shaped. It's incredible what Frank Herbert achieved here, and I must say that these television creators managed to make a good version that they can be proud of. A few more well-known actors and a few more Czech faces definitely wouldn't have hurt the film. It's even nice that some of them returned. It's a shame that the other books didn't get made. Perhaps someday they will attempt to film this sci-fi masterpiece again and achieve even greater success.
