Dune the movie and series

I like the Dune movie for its very baroque and steampunk feel, but it seems that the plot was rushed, and that there was not enough world-building. The space-based special effects and the Toto soundtrack in the movie are timeless; compare with Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain.

Whereas the series is much better in terms of worldbuilding, character development, actor work, storytelling, and planetside visual effects. And that unforgettable music by Brian Tyler, which was used in the Star Trek 2009 trailer.

Space-based VFX in the series were very drab, though, and remain so to this day. Ultimately, if a Blu-ray version is ever made of the series, then the space-based effects should be redone entirely, and if Lynch and the movie studio are ever okay, then the space-based effects (especially the heighliners) should be fashioned after those in the movie.

That way, it would be an ideal combination with Lynch's baroque/steampunk elements, and good storytelling.

Unlike Star Trek/Star Wars and other science fiction, a lot of the Dune story happens planetside, and worldbuilt space tech is more like an afterthought.
