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. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
