While it was mostly panned, for those who had read the novels (as I had) it was ... OK.
...If you're in the mood for trashy sci-fi... "Barbarella" comes to mind. How anyone could ever take Jane Fonda seriously as a "feminist" after that I simply do not know. And then there is "Lost in Space", which was simply execrable.

Look we waited so long for Dune to be made into a movie that I was grateful for any attempt, no matter how woeful. Speaking of woeful, I remind everyone of the terrible idea of "Stranger in a Strange Land" with Mick Jagger.
