It is what it is - fantasy action
Its no award winning movie, but for entertainment sake, if you love fantasy, and you love action, this movie is it! It takes both genres and bends them into each other. As a fantasy author, I LOVED the creativity shown in this movie, in the cultural inclusion/seclusion, the political nuances, and the crash of fantasy into a modern world that mirrors our own. There is a lot to be said about the parallels that can be drawn from this fantasy movie to current states of affairs in our world today. Sit back and enjoy, folks!

This book had such a huge impact on me as a young reader.

I had been introduced to sci-fi/fantasy via C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I was accustomed to allegory and metaphor in storytelling.

Frank Herbert introudced my young mind to literature that could be an amazing example of world-building, character development, and storytelling, but also embody a political activism that, rather than feeling didactic, becomes an essential element of the plot.

Dune is still the gauge by which I judge all other science fiction.
