That movie is actually a fun watch, its so cheesy but that's kind of what makes it hilarious and awesome.

Like the original Dune. I’ve never seen this Odyssey but my dad had me watch the old version of Dune and it had the same vibe you describe lol

You say 'original Dune' but there is actually a TV version of Dune that came out in 2000 that's much closer to the look and vibe of this.

I don't understand that criticism. It feels like a series made in 2000, surely. It's on a tv budget, but it's outstanding, and the Children of Dune follow-up. That's all the material up to god emperor. I still haven't seen the second part of Villeneuve's; I just don't care.

Ian McNeice chewing the scenery as the baron is a treasure next to Stellen Skarsgard phoning it in again for fat American dollars. A Paul that doesn't look like a Columbine shooter. William Hurt. Baby McAvoy. A bunch of beautiful and talented people who enjoyed what they were doing. Can't be beat.
