The SciFi miniseries is good. The CGI is obviously dated, but can be ignored because the rest of it is good. To be more efficient with their money, they also used massive painted/printed back drops, which give it an almost stage play like feel. They lean into this by using vibrant colors to highlight characters in specific shots. It might bother some, but I find it endearing.

It does change some aspects of the story, but they're relatively minor compared to what modern Hollywood does. The length even enabled them to add scenes, to expand some characters, like princess Irulan. Whether you agree with the changes or not, the changes are made to try and improve it, and not subvert the audience.

The first book is broken down into 3 parts in the Dune miniseries, which works really well, and doesn't condense the story drastically, or leaving a lot out like the 1984 movie, and even part 1 of the recent movie did. The "Children of Dune" miniseries is also good, and combines the 2nd and 3rd books together, but I like the first miniseries more.
