I happened to enjoy the mini-series more than the movie. Sure, having 6 hours to tell a story over 2 makes a HUGE difference. What I really liked in both Scifi miniseries was the focus on intrigue and the machinations of the major players, and how these either came to fruition or failed. On a production level, I enjoyed the many accents of the characters, that little detail caught my ear and was enjoyable. I liked the Baron Harkonnen character and how well the actor played that role. The Baron seemed more believable and less a caricature. His reappearance in Children of Dune and excellent presence was a welcome surprise. I rather liked all the players in both miniseries and how the characters were presented. The actress who played Alia/Aliyah(spelling?) is a real cutie!!
Sting was a far better Feyd, no doubt about that!
