Which one? Dune was filmed two times:
- Lynch's Dune - Lynch vision was far from the book and quite silly at some times (screaming Atridies, sick Harkonnen),
- Syfy miniseries was lacking in budget and real sand but was closer to the story in original book (and with great Vladimir Harkonnen portrayal by Ian McNeice - at last he was not only evil but also smart).
There is also Children of Dune - second miniseries based on Dune: Messiah and Children of Dune books - and is also quite good although the small budget is visible.
And a third movie (Peter Berg's Dune) is in the works.
I recommend reading Dune books though. And not only the first one but all six of them - because the last two are the best.
