It's fun to watch as it delivers certain chills and thrills along the way - just that it's not really the uniqueness of Dune that conquers you, but the fine work behind and in front of the camera. All in all, as a fan, I can't say I've been displeased by the series. Here are Frank Herbert's six Dune books, ranked from worst to best. This doesn't necessarily mean it's not worth its hours, but it means it's definitely not as enchanting as the first part of the Dune saga - where everything was still fresh and authentic, original and innovative. To date, there are two film adaptations, a television adaptation of Children of Dune, an upcoming Dune prequel on HBO Max, and a vast array of novels, short stories, and graphic novels that expand on Dune's lore. Children of Dune is the third book in the Dune saga: written by Frank Herbert, it was published in 1976, seven years after the previous Dune Messiah, and in my opinion it represents a leap in terms of quality and depth that wasn’t easy to expect, especially since the first two books were already excellent. Unfortunately "Children of Dune" goes along the path I assumed the books would: it simply loses its charm as it becomes a bit too foreseeable. The novel takes place nine years after the events portrayed in Dune Messiah. The first book uses the heroic rite of passage structure to grab our interest, and the second book makes it clear just how dangerous a charismatic. Nevertheless it does keep you pretty glued to the chair/sofa for as long as it takes to see the outcome. Children of Dune, written by Frank Herbert, is the third novel in the original Dune series. As I discuss in my reviews of those two books, I see Dune Messiah as a crucial sequel to the original story of Dune, while Children of Dune mirrors the action of the first book in an interesting way. It does not bore but it does not truly have a mesmerizing effect either. That is because the film is not only easy to follow, as long as you've either read the first book (and a bit of the second) or seen the first part of the mini-series (which I haven't), but it's also visually delightful, doing some justice to Frank Herbert's saga.
#CHILDREN OF DUNE TV REVIEW MOVIE#
And all the time I was thinking: why didn't anyone do a really cool movie about Dune, as it deserves? Obviously, the moment I laid eyes on "Children of Dune" (the mini-series this time) I felt a terrible urge to acquire it, despite being tempted by more reputed films. Metacritic TV Reviews, Children of Dune - Season 1, This follow-up series to the 2000 mini-series involves the aftermath of the events of its predecessor. Consequently, although I bought Children of Dune, I didn't get to read it to the end. After reading the first two of Frank Herbert's Dune books I had to wonder whether the story of the water forsaken planet still had some potential.
