As they import their goods from nearby star systems, House Ordos relies on their skills as merchants to make their profits however, their wealth has made them increasingly paranoid. House OrdosThe Ordos originate from a frigid, ice covered planet unnamed in Dune 2000 but later called Sigma Draconis IV in Emperor: Battle for Dune. The Baron's Mentat, Hayt De Vries (Robert Carin), was born from the flesh of a dead man in the Tleilaxu Flesh Vats. According to Lady Elara, the only thing human about the Harkonnen is their genetic makeup, as all humanity was abandoned long ago in favor of brutality and maliciousness, favoring pure firepower brought by Devastator Tanks and the Death Hand Missile. House HarkonnenThe Harkonnens are ruled by the wicked Baron and come from the volcanic waste-planet of Giedi Prime. The Duke also wishes to develop an alliance with the Fremen, the native warriors of Dune.
The House's fleets of ornithopters ensure their superior air power backed by Sonic Tanks to humanely destroy enemies. The Duke's famous Mentat, Noree Moneo ( John Rhys-Davies), advises and resides over the Duke's forces on Arrakis. House AtreidesHailing from the water-planet of Caladan, the Atreides have a strict loyalty to their Duke and follow him with zeal. There are also four non-playable subfactions: House Corrino, the Fremen, the Mercenaries and the Smugglers. According to Elara, they saw many visions of the commander dying -and only in one vision does the commander live and even rise to control massive armies and bring peace to Arrakis.Īs in Dune II, the three main playable factions are House Atreides, House Harkonnen and House Ordos. Meanwhile, Lady Elara ( Musetta Vander) of the Bene Gesserit and bound concubine to the Emperor, secretly takes the commander - the player - into one of the Heighliners, a person whose bloodline and future the Sisterhood had checked. Hints for future producers: Skip the spatializer, exploit the arabian and islamic Fremen theme, less technology, Harkonnens are evil, 6 hours are not enough.Emperor Corrino (Adrian Sparks) has issued a challenge that the House which can produce the most spice will control its source, the desert planet Dune, with no rules as to how the Houses can achieve the goal. It is not perfect, but it is almost there. Overall, it is an excellent series, one to watch and one to buy. Finally, as was expected in any adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel that is shorter than 12 hours, I found myself explaining parts of what was going on to my friend, who hadn't read the book. Fortunately, you also adore the new Dr Kynes, Chani and Baron Harkonnen. You find yourself longing for the original Gurney, Leto, Feyd and Paul.

What spoilt it even more was knowing the movie and then watching the series. The complete denaturalisation the spatializer gives the voice just makes me cringe. I would have preferred a normal tone of voice, maybe some underlying sound effects and extremely voice trained actors who can snap out harsh commands unexpectedly and at will. Trying to copy from the movie as a poor idea. It hardly appears in the series, and it's badly done. The dream sequences are too unconvincing. He is too old, he is too plain and he is way too 2 dimensional. Unfortunately it had a few downright flops. The passage to Arrakis is very unique in its approach to the navigators and their skills and I really liked the idea.
Of course, everyone would speak Galach with their own accent. Having lots of foreign actors added to the overall feel of a universe populated by a race that has split out into different planets. The Fremen sietches have a very arabian feel to them, just the way they were intended in the books.

The series has lots of very strong points.
Months later I decided to give it another try. I disliked the 'spatializer' effects in the movie, and I didn't like them in the series. The first time I watched it I switched off after hearing Lady Jessica use the Voice for the first time. So I decided to give this mini series a try. I've read the Dune books about a dozen times and I have also watched the 1984 movie a few times, and, while it had good ideas, it didn't thrill me.
