Dune?

[hunter]

7. I could never immerse myself in the book...

... and I don't figure the movie is going to be any better.

If that's the human future then pull the plug on us, we humans should never leave the planet.

It's probably our good fortune as humans that faster than light travel is not possible in this universe. It protects whatever neighbors we may have from invasive species such as ourselves. It also protects us from any more advanced species that might want to clear the earth of us, thus allowing earth's natural environment to revert to something resembling the early Eocene.

Nevertheless, in spite of my skepticism, I'm likely see this movie anyways to preserve my credentials as a Science Fiction movie nerd.
