This sequel to Dune 2000 was better by far than the earlier film. The actors seem to have finally gotten comfortable with their roles and the story (based on the second and third "Dune" books of Frank Herbert were more on the mark. This production was more stylish and took pains to get it right, and while I still feel that it could have been done better I was heartened after the disappointment of the earlier mini-series. Once again, if I had one complaint it would be the Fremen still suits which looked more like used cammo uniforms of some third world army. They do not give the impression of survival capability that the costumes from the 1984 theatrical version did. Other than that this version manages to accomplish the second and third book stories rather well.
