Even more than most of David Lynch's deliberately bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, Dune is a "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, Dune remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's Henry IV with a dash of Tremors, and set in another galaxy. But despite plenty of strangely whispered voice-overs that explain the characters' thoughts (and endlessly detailed exposition), storytelling is not really among the film's strong points. There are, however, a lot of memorably fantastic/grotesque images, an extraordinary cast, and a soundtrack featuring Toto. I told you it was weird. Among the stars are Kyle MacLachlan, José Ferrer, Dean Stockwell, Brad Dourif, Sting, Kenneth McMillan, Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, and Linda Hunt. --Jim Emerson

Basically this movie is a 2 1/2 hour snooze fest which has an action scene to get you excited for what is perceived to be more entertainment, only to abruptly end. The movie is very dense, and doesn't reiterate any important events that are given in dense chunks of information. Instead what the movie does is offer many reminders to unimportant events, often several times per event. Such as Jessica sees her son Paul is alive. She is excited he is alive, then she thinks "Paul is alive." And then later ... Read More

I know many people did not like this because it was so different from the book. But in all honesty, Dune was a rich and complex book and you could only capture so much within a movie-length feature. I was disappointed in how Baron Harkonnen was portrayed, but otherwise, the movie was fairly satisfying for me. I was happy to have gotten the extended edition, because this one is better than the basic one.

Ok, the special effects are great for the time this movie was made, but that's really all this movie has going for it. I am most disappointed by having to give this a full star rating. The plot is mechanical with a lame voice-over back story. The characters shallow and lacking any legitimate motivations or redeeming quality. Honestly, I can't see what all the hype is about.

The novel Dune is far too complex to be compressed into the standard 2 or 3 hour movie.
However, David Lynch has in fact successfully managed to summarize not only the basic story concept, but accurately captured the essence and spirit of the characters, the settings, and general atmosphere as depicted in Frank Herbert's most excellent book. The well-crafted soundtrack also greatly enhances this very worthy depiction, and a striking soundtrack can sometimes make all the difference for a ... Read More

Well after reading several reviews from people who had great intentions and obviously are Dune fans, I have to tell you ... on my copy of this movie which I bought last month(extended version) it also has the original movie on one side of the double sided disk... Boy did I get lucky!!... David Lynch was right not to put his name to the extended version...that being said I am glad I bought this dvd ... it still has great value with the original movie on it... One thing the original has is the flavor if ... Read More
