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

 Remembering the first time I saw this. January 30, 2010
ELO's (Albany, GA)
I knew very little about Dune until the movie hype. I remember going to see it in Lubbock Texas. Some of the early reviews were coming back negative, and yet it looked exciting. I was not really impressed with my first viewing. I liked this movie after reading the books. The movie was my gateway to the book series. The new series put out for TV has a lot more, true to the book events.
 Good Movie, Poor DVD Quality January 30, 2010
G. Black (Texas)
This version of Dune has always been one of my favorites. I've love the imaginative settings and the story line follows the book well, but the video quality of the DVD is very low. It is watchable, but viewed on a big screen TV, it looks like an amateur copy of a VHS tape to DVD.

This movie is one of the rare gems of the science fiction genre...it is sophisticated and beautifully stylized offering a complete sense of immersion into the DUNE universe. I really enjoyed this movie.

Everyone and their brother hated this movie. I must admit it did have some problems, number one of which is that it was too long. But I liked it a great deal. Richard Lynch, who directed this film has directed some impressive movies including the brilliant Blue Velvet. Several actors from Blue Velvet also played in this movie and played intense characters. The evil aliens in this movie represented by the Harkonnen's were top rate bad guys played by Sting and Kenneth McMillan. For me the movie really worked because is of it's weirdness and brutality. I see weirdness as a strength in science fiction.
