    Travolta should perform all his roles on a slant.

  Seriously? I heard it was one of the worst movies of all time so I stayed away. Or was it because of the scientology? Like if I ignore that, is it pretty decent?

    It’s a terrible movie. Verges on so bad it’s good. Uses more dutch angles than a crooked windmill.

    Book was mediocre with a Mary Sue main that had Goodboy for a last name.

      “verges on so bad it’s good” so to me that says that it’s about as bad as it can possibly get, before crossing the line into something I can laugh at, would that be an accurate representation?

      I never saw the movie, but I can accept mediocre for the book. I thought it was a fun take aliens and alternative history. The writing style is a bit like a morally superior american, but I can read past that (…I guess, because I completely forgot that part).

        It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I remeber it being medicore late golden era. Herbert had no understanding of radiation and his characters tended to be good or evil without a lot of nuance.
