Rating: Summary: A grain of Sand Review: The movie was done quite well,that is if you had NOT read the Dune series of books.If you had then you might had been disappointed.It was an honest attempt at seeing into the Mind of the author Frank Herbert.This movie barely skims the surface on the pond of imagination that was called Frank Herbert.I recommend going back and reading the series of books in the Dune Trilogy and then watching the movie again.You will understand how this movie to some Herbert readers was a farce. I would buy it again,after my curreent copy becomes un playable and worn out. long live the FIGHTERS!

Rating: Summary: A Great Sci-Fi Epic - Totally Underrated Review: Dune. What can I say. Weird, yes, dense and extremely complicated, yes, superb effects, yes, epic, yes, etc.I love this movie. The actors and actresses do an excellent job. Toto gives the movie a great dramatic score, and the effects are awsome. I know people say that this movie departs from the book, doesn't make any sense, or just plain sucks. Well, those people are of the breed just looking for entertainment. If you want intelligent, deeply layered Sci-fi that manages to throw in some good action, see DUNE. Widescreen is the only way to watch this movie. The Pan-and-scan process really confuses an already confusing movie by chopping off the sides of the picture. If you can find a copy of the 4-hour version, buy it immediatly. It really is awsome( Only complaints - Bad editing, Stupid Male Narrator, Butchered music). Dune is a underrated epic. I loved it. I loved the books. Its all good
Rating: Summary: I'll miss the sea... Review: Even virtually 15 years (can you believe that!) after it's initial release it still mesmorizes me. Although there are obvious holes in the movie that those of us who read the novel are very much aware of, this adaptation of Frank Herberts epic novel feeds the imaginative senses with its wild, fantastic and mystifying vision of a world and a future that descriptively displays the familiar and continual struggles and intrigues of empire and civilization that is the story of human history. Schemes and plots, mystery and fantasy, sacrifice and violence, trials and triblutation, this story has it all. I highly recommend this movie and just like many other I know, still hope for the release of the 190 minute version which helps fill some of the holes found in the initial theatre release. The absolute best closing music score I've heard, ever. It just so perfectly complemented the movie. any way, I've babbled enough about this movie.....indeed, THEY SHALL COME ALL FOR VIOLENCE..

Rating: Summary: very complicated story; must pay attention to every detail. Review: If you enjoy an intelligent science fiction story line that actually makes you think, along with a very different idea of what the future looks like, this one is for you. I never get tired of watching this film because the story and the setting is so fascinating.
Rating: Summary: A unique, one of its kind, Sci-fi film. Review: True, Dune is NOT a film too easy to digest with a TV dinner. It is immense, shocking and confusing. One has to watch it for several times before full comprehension. I have watched it at least 15 times, and still I find in it new elements (some very well and intentionally hidden) and disturbing innuendos. It is far from being Lukas' white and plasic sci-fi world, quite the contrary. It is a world of desires and mostly cruelty of oil, blood, sand and disease. One has to know darkness in order to know light... is the common motif. It is a pity that the 4 hour version is practically a collector's item and not to be found. ELRIC.
Rating: Summary: Great Sci-Fi! Review: This has to be one of the great Sci-Fi movies that has been made. If the editting could have been handled better the movie would be absolutely the best of all time.
Rating: Summary: Well thought out, but the novel was better. Review: If you like Dune, see the movie. I would recommend seing the complete 4 hour version but you have to be patient. As it was in the book, it is very hard to follow. The Epilouge is total chaos. You only have to memorize about 6000 names unless you read the book. This isn't the place to say it but if you want to appreciate it more go to buy the game Dune 2000 for PC. David Lynch did an unbelievable job of presenting it in a movie format. Go see it.
