“A long time ago, David Linch directed a movie named "Dune." It was awesome, with a lot of explosions and fights and giant worms. Then Cryo Interactive made a game which was strongly based on that movie, so it was awesome too.
A few years later I saw a Dune series, but there was no worms, no fights and there was a lot of talk. And I thought "This is not Dune. At all!"
And then I got the book. That's when I realized that the movie doesn't have anything related to the original story. Dune is not fights and worms, it's a lot about strategy and planing, with each character with its own desires and going forward for it. Yes, there are wars and fights and worms, but not in the same way the movie put them. It was more deep than that. It's one of those books where you keep reading just to find out if the characters will get what they want.”
