my daughter seems to like scifi. We watched enders game, lost in space series (the new version), arrival, I am mother, and she liked them all. Can I get some more suggestions?

    Teens love Dune because the Hero’s story is a trope that teens like. Dune will open up their taste for social-science fiction too, i.e., stories that pertain to societies and culture rather than simply pew pew lasers. Watch the 3 versions of Dune; the Lynch, TV series and the latest movie.

        People who are downvoting: why?

        Is the David Lynch Dune that good? I doubt it. Should a kid be forced to sit through a cult classic? Probably not.

        I feel like Dune fanatics leave logic at the door sometimes.

          Is the David Lynch Dune that good?

          It probably is in a Lynch way. I mean, Lynch usually makes outstanding stuff and I generally like his work very much. Not this one though. I´am much more a fan of Dune than I´am of Lynch and his adaption strays far away from the book, much too far! They made up lots of bs for the Lynch film that is not in the books at all (like the stupid “heart plugs” for example). My point of critique is not general quality but the obvious lack of respect for the original material.

          However - I like the new Dune film by Denis Villeneuve a lot because you can tell the script was actually written by people who respect Frank Herbert´s vision. I very much recommend watching it.
