I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Of course, I was able to get a
few explanations from my friend who had read the book, but for the
most part, I just sat and enjoyed. In fact, I think I might even read
the book now, having previously been put off by the fact that I knew
people who had tried to read it and failed. I thought that the most
of the special effects were pretty good, also. I don't agree
that the ending didn't convey awesome power. I thought that
******** NEXT LINE CONTAINS SLIGHT SPOILER **********
Paul causing Feyd to explode was a particularly nice touch.
As far as entertainment value, I'd put it slightly above 2010,
probably a little above Starman (Starman was touching, but I
was probably in the mood for something flashy when I saw it).
I'll probably go see it again after I've read the book.
