| Pretty good science fiction

I have never read any of Frank Herbert's novels and I didn't really like the 1984 film Dune so I am not sure that I am the most authoritative commentator for this mini-series. That said, I thought Children of Dune was fairly engaging science fiction despite the fact that I had forgotten practically everything about the first film even though I saw it only a few months prior. Especially, given that it was a television production and not a feature film, the look of the film was achieved quite spectacularly. The special effects were fairly convincing even with the limitations and the costumes seemed appropriate enough. Other than Susan Sarandon, I wasn't familiar with any of the cast. Perhaps these attractive performers will continue to build their profile. Interesting science fiction, 7/10.
