Dune is a true science fiction classic, with multiple live-action versions, as well as video games, board games, and more on shelves and in nerds' closets. Now, Denis Villenevue's new movie adaptation is less than a week away, set to hit theaters and HBO Max on October 22.

　　Dune, per the official synopsis, "tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive." The film covers roughly the first half of Frank Herbert's first Dune novel.

　　While you wait for Denis Villeneuve's take on the sci-fi epic to go live, make sure to check out our 10/10 review. Former Entertainment editor Michael Rogeau called the film "the best possible adaptation of one of science fiction's most iconic works. It's the one you've awaited for over five decades, or since whatever time you first turned a page in Herbert's seminal novel. The talented filmmakers and jaw-dropping cast have done it justice. Go see it so that they can tell the rest of the story."
