I am glad to see Herbert's novels get on the screen, but I would hope to see a better job in the future. The one bright star in this was Julie Cox. She does an outstanding job as Irulan Corrino. She carries herself in a truly regal manner, just as one would expect of royalty. But Alec Newman wears thin and tiresome as Paul Atreides. When he is on the screen, I find myself thinking "I can't wait for this to end" as opposed to when Julie Cox is on screen - "What a refreshing moment!"
I hope this film will end this series and the producers will pickup with Brian Herbert's prequels. That way we can be done with Alec Newman.
