Saw Dune yesterday at an IMAX theater and the movie was visually stunning. However, the background music and lines spoken in whispers left me watching a film with virtually no dialog. I had no idea of what was going on. If you're over 60, this film is very difficult to understand.

The dialog and background music were often at the same level making the dialog very hard to hear for an old person (yes, I had my hearing aids in). Background music should be in the background, not in the foreground. Other than than that complaint, the show was good.

First, the cars have to be right for a period movie and they were for the late 60's. I hate it when I see a 70's car in a 60's period movie. This is a TV movie that contains some exceptional acting. I agree with "jonathangrubbs" that Cloris Leachman, Darby Camp and Chandler Head were very good. There was one scene, however, where Corbin Bernsen was downright GREAT.
