Ed 09/24/2024 Well done, but read the books first See more Lisa M 03/04/2024 One of my all time favorite films!!! See more April R 02/21/2024 It is a flawed masterpiece. But seeing in cinema was a mind bending experience!! See more Elaine T @cheetosnickers 23h I saw this when it first came out and hated it. So, after watching the updated versions and reading the first 2 books I watched it again and I can honestly say this movie still sucks. The plot is all over the place, no character development, no chemistry between Paul and Chani or Paul and Duncan Idaho. The dialog could have given more details about the plot with just conversations between the characters. The Baron was unnecessarily ugly and too much time was wasted on his "health habits" that were not in the book. He was fat. Period. The two mentats looked like they were rejected by HR Pufnsuf. So many actors that were well know at the time said "yes" to be in this. How? Even for an 80's movie it could have been way better. Gremlins, Romancing the Stone, Star Trek 3 the Search for Spock, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Terminator all came out THE SAME YEAR. There was no reason for this film to be this poorly done at all levels. See more Andrew T @RT72355796 Jul 22 This movie was unfortunately not good at all. The movie was significantly bigger than its budget, and the people who made this movie were simply not able to bring the world created by Frank Herbert to life. It was just a poorly done adaptation and they were simply not capable of doing what they wanted with the technology available to them at the time. Not only that, but they did significantly worse than other action/sci-fi movies of the same era. It was boring, and there are not many good things to say about it. Not worth watching but also not the worst movie ever made. 3/10 See more Deckard B @B26354 Jun 6 Its heart is in the right place, it’s a failed masterpiece , it’s set design and surreality is what draws you in. Its actually an amazing accomplishment considering everything that was thrown at it. There are some great behind the scenes books on why this bombed; it’s recommend these are read first to soften any disappointment. A lot actually went into this film, a lot of great special effects too, but everything got dropped during production, cut or simply remade on the cheap simply because of greed. There are elements here that were left alone which do hint at what could have been. If ever a film needed a directors cut its this. It’s starving for more weirdness more oddity. On its own it’s a a high camp spectacle on an equal footing with say Flash Gordon. See more Read all reviews
