Greetings;  It wasn't just where you saw it.  We collectively decided it
was the worst movie ever when we saw it in college.  A little girl
sitting behind us said something about it being awful out loud and the
mother corrected her.  My room-mate leaned over to the mom and said, but
you know she is right and spent the rest of the movie reading in the
lobby.  We had all loved the books and even got to hear Frank Herbert
speak on campus.  Tina

Now, maybe it was the atmosphere in which I saw the movie...it was in a drafthouse where they serve pizza and beer during the movie...so it was crowded, and people were getting up and waitresses were wandering through.  I had a hard time hearing, and could make no sense whatsoever out of the plot...but it sticks out in my mind as one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
