This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.
I did too. Crazy to think so many people find it a great adaptation cause I feel like it misses the point of what made the books so amazing by quite a lot.
Care to elaborate? As a book reader I thought it was a really faithful adaptation, about as good as it gets. I do miss some of the cut bits, especially the character development of Yeoh and some of the context around CHOAM, but the meat and philosophy of the story is there. Hopefully part 2, which really gets into the good part of the story, keeps up that trend.
It’s been a long time since I read the book, and the second book (never read the rest sadly, maybe someday), but movies made from books are often unable to truly capture what fans love about the story.
Usually I don’t like adaptations, but this time I feel they did a decent job despite the differences (which granted I don’t really notice considering I only read it once and a while ago), and I enjoy it for being an epic sci-fi movie based on the book even if not totally true to it.

Are there more than one adaptation? I know about the David Lynch but haven’t been paying attention since then. So I don’t know which one is good.
Scifi Channel did one as a miniseries. It was… Not great.
