You can tell the folks behind the Dune miniseries—namely writer and director John Harrison—really knew and respected what they were adapting. As a result, the movie takes the source material at face value and doesn’t fiddle with it to fit someone else’s vision of what a Dune story should be. That does come with some caveats, which I’ll get into fur...
Costume designer Zuzana Máchová and her team deserve all the money and all the good things in life. These costumes are every level of banana waffles, in the best sense. They are at times both futuristic and retro, by way of the early 1990s, like a combination of Star Wars: The Phantom Menaceand Saved by the Bell. I loved every stitch of inexplicabl...

But when you’re dealing with a five-hour movie with multiple sets, heavy CGI, and a huge ensemble cast, there aren’t always enough funds to go around. Sometimes you have to get creative, which is what Harrison and his team did with the blue eyes of the ...
One of my biggest problems with Lynch’s Dune adaptation was how it handled House Harkonnen. It turned a powerful and insidious family into a disgusting pile of id, relying on gross-out moments to show their villainy instead of letting their actions speak for themselves. This version takes the opposite approach, giving us a House that’s more Lannist...
