Apart from the visualization of the personal shields, this was a visually stunning film. That is the only good thing I have to say about it.

I'm quite sure I wouldn't have understood what was happening if I had not just read the book. And that's weird, since the vast majority of the dialogue is given over to awkward exposition. I felt like it was all exposition and weird whispery voice-over. And Patrick Stewart with long hair.

I need to read up on this film's production history. I bet it's interesting. Did Lynch really intend to have all the strange voice-over? Or both of the expository introductions? Really, two introductions?
