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 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 gungi T @WhatWhere Apr 12 I enjoyed the few redeeming moments scattered throughout the film, but I didn’t like most of the other aspects. Apart from the fascinating setting and design, the film not only feels incomplete but also features haphazard special effects. Clearly, the movie went through a reckless editing and decision-making process, as the exposition lacks the coherence needed to follow the course of events. The pace underscores the film’s general difficulty in faithfully portraying the development of its characters, and thus the world it is unable to properly establish and explain. The narrative style relies on the characters’ endless whispering and internal dialogue, with their emotions, character and motivation presented from an omniscient perspective. Whilst this technique does provide insight into their inner state, this overused form of focalisation contributes to a lack of dialogue and visual interaction between the characters, essentially contributing to the patchy sequences See more Read all reviews
