![]() ![]() As is, it is very good, but somewhat flawed. ![]() If Lynch had had help by a better scriptwriter to curb some of his wilder additions and flesh out the plot a bit and this could have been one of the best sci-fi movies ever. The timing of the acting and events is almost perfect. The acting overall is excellent (except possibly Maclachlan and Jones) and for me who read the book before seeing the film, it is hard not to see Stewart as Halleck. Trove is a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of Partner organisations around. To help him he had probably the best possible cast for such a movie and the best musical score ever. Where Lynch does excel is in setting the mood. It is very difficult to fit the plot of Herbert's masterpiece into 130 minutes, but I think Lynch did a good job, sadly he added som stuff that was not in the book. Thus Lynch managed to get a lot of bad press about this near masterpiece. Every time I see this film I like it more, yet can see why people would dislike this movie, and I can sum up it's shortcoming this way: Not close enough to the book to humour the people who have read the book, to confusing for people who have not. ![]()
