Video Description
Starring Julie Cox, Alice Krige, Alex Newman, James McAvoy and Susan Sarandon.

A battle raged for twelve years whilst desert dweller Paul Maud'dib Atreides's, Freman Jiha travelled the universe destroying the remaining old Imperial armies. Maud'dib's rule saw planets colonized one by one, though amid the anarchy, the House of Atreides emerged as a superpower of Dune's planet Arrakis. However, the rule of the government is not wholly universal, there are numerous corrupt adversaries, the greatest being the fallen Baron Harkonnen who strives to regain control of his old empire, Dune, with its mystifying life force and all it symbolizes, to the galactic order. Harkonnen aside, a treacherous threat is about to emerge from within the House of Atreides as the number of clandestine enemies increases. Maud'dib believes that his sole chance of safeguarding his family sovereignty is his newborn twins born of his concubine, Chiani. Soon his son, Leto will be heir to Dune, a most unimaginable power. The son will be responsible for demystifying his father's legacy, destroying the old regime in order to reinstate peace in the Empire. The definitive war has yet to be waged and will see the Children of Atriedes - the Children of Dune - trapped amid a future so volatile, yet of their family's very own creation.

Stunning effects, incredible battles, high court intrigue with both theological and ecological theories, Frank Herbert's visual, award-winning opus reinvents the mythology of fantasy fiction. This fantastical saga challenges the intellectual puzzle of the future of humanity as we know it, raises the bar and unveils breath-taking sci-fi cinematography.

Synopsis
The sequel to Dune, based on the Frank Herbert books Dune Messiah and Children Of Dune. The House of Atreides rules Arrakis even as Baron Harkonnen attempts to regain control. Within the ruling house enemies also gather and hope for peace is left with Maud'dib's newly born twins.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Peice of Classic Sci Fi!!, 1 Sep 2008
By David Dares (Edgware, London) - See all my reviews
An absolutely brilliant series, much better than the original TV series and dare i say it the original film! Having read all the books and recently watched the previous film and series i believe this to be the best so far. With great performances, especially the prescient twins Leto and Ghanima played by James McAvoy and Jessica Brooks, although i must say i enjoyed the whole cast and thought they all did a fantastic job. This coupled with the amazing effects and music, which although not the best the world hs ever seen does the job very nicely, especially when you think about the budget the series had in the first place.

As with all adaptations of books to screen not everything can be transfered although i must admit i was pleasantly surprised and felt that they had got most of the aspects included, especially the important ones, giving the story the details it needed accurately from the books.

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this and would heartily recommended it to anyone who enjoys Sci Fi, has read Dune, or even any Asimov or other Sci Fi writer for that matter, as you will definitely be entertained!!
