David Lynch's DUNE is one of the greatest sci movies of all time. It had a profound effect on me when I first saw it aged 10. It is an absolute master piece. O.K the book is better but they usually are, no movie can beat the human imagination.
1st ever cinema film at age 10. never gets tiresome, that attests to the art of the maker, post production never get the same surrealism and vision. Just love the costume and props, awesome science fiction.
@lordvivecjjj Its even shameful to put them in same sentence. I just think of jar jar binks and last 3 star wars..and when i think of dune i want to throw up.
Precious substance, very important for transportation, which is only to be found in the desert, inhabited by a people which does await some Messiah figure? I sometimes wonder how much the fancy Dune tale is a parable on the modern world! The spice is the oil, the Spacing Guild could be compared to the multinational Oil Corporations, the empire to the US of A (recently they make a fuss about being an empire) and even the Baron Harkonnen could resemble a well-known banking baron.
@volvoxmusix: Anytime; and unlike the spice or the human computer juice you get neither stains on the lips nor blue within blue eyes, so you can hide your expanded consciousness in the event of a sudden outbreak of a Great Maoist Proletarian Culture Revolution and not be recognized as an intellectual by the Red Guards (which is a huge benefit)!
My very, very favourite thing in the whole movie is the cranking and clanking noises made by the Navigator's canister. All of David Lynch's movies have superbly uncanny sound effects and this is no exception.
Here I go again . Must have seen this movie 50 times. Love every minute of it, but then again I've never read the book. Not sure if I should now, hate to think that might may me become a little disappointed in the movie.
@deanblaze2000 I think I've seen the movie the same number of times. But I've read the book probably twice as many times. As much as I love this movie the book is so much better. Nothing can compare to Frank Herbert's detailed and well told story.
@BloodIsTheRain1 Somehow I agree with you. But Shaddam was quite humbled at the end of the Amal fiasco, specially when it comes to the guild.
Anyway I didn´t like this movie much. As usual a couple of hours are not enough to cover a whole amazing book so on the end it turns to be kinda dull (I call this the "Where the hell is Fenrig?!" feeling).
David Lynch's "Dune" differs from the book. That's why many people criticize it but I don't agree. The whole movie was very well done, visual effects were great for that time and the acting was brilliant. Kyle MacLachlan and Francesca Annis were stunning
this film is m-m-m-mesmerizing. The bit in the middle: Paul and jessica gaining the fremen's trust, is really compressed and confused... But the sets and baroque intricacies is really perfect for the book. If there's gonna be a new film, I don't think they'll ever get the Harkonnen's as good as in this one. Kenneth McMillan's baron is GENIUS. and sting is a psychopath
@talkin2urselfiscool XD I always recite the etire part when I see the movie! I stopped counting the times I've seen it when I saw it for the eleventh time, so no surprise :)
@Gareth1994UK More or less; he is a third stage Guild Navigator. Perhaps you have heard about the Great Maker, it's a secret name of the Sand Worm (Shai-Hulud) used by the Fremen.
@aarrgghh22222 i know this film isn't very good, but that's all we've got on youtube right now!! They deleted the 2000 mini-series and there's no other audiovidual reference for dune!!! I would love to see a good adaptatin of these books!
@birdy20034ever There are imperial troops which are supposed to be armoured but as to whether you think it is well portrayed in the movie is up to you...

The best sci-fi film ever. Why? Because it treated the audience like they are thinking, intelligent adults and didn't need to rely on fuzzy teddy bear creatures and marketing to make itself popular. Another film that proves that the 1980's was the best decade for movies.
@Aussiemarco I agree with you and actually I think part of the "magic" that has captured our minds and hearts is the fact that it's not mere sci-fi; herbert used a fiction story to explain amazing concepts of space, time, ecology, celular memory, genetics, religion and politics. As a writer, he was a deep and wise human being, not just an average writer stealing someone else's ideas to make money, like dan brown or stephanie meyer.
@Aussiemarco I also want to add that Herbert was a FUCKING GENIUS. He talked about very deep notions such as the collective unconscious, that has been explained by psychologists like Jung, or the notion of vertical time, not as a linear thing, but a flow in which present, past and future happen at the same time, that was proposed by the ancient mayan peoples and later by quantum physics, the danger of messianic religions, the notion of spiritual awareness, etc.
I always thought that my buddies who read Herbert were nerds. And I was right...until I read the books myself. Did you know this movie bankrupted the studio.
i dont know if was in the frank herbert novels, but i read in the perquels to dune where they at the start here it says the navigators fold space, in the prequels anyway it says they dont , they use engines to do that, the navigators just check the route so they dont hit anything, which is why theyre called navigators, but did the prequels make this up after the fact?
@bryngOneOn due to the Butlerian Jihad the peopel of the known universe have removed all influence from computers, therefore they need the mentat and the navigators. the navigators imitates paul's powers to see the future, therefore they are needed to travel at ligth speed. so you are right about there why they are needed. as far as i remember there are 2 guildsmen on every vesel to secure the rute.
@lalningen we r a right pair of nerds discussing this, but what the hell, i dont know if we should use facts from dune novels not written by frank herbert, Anyway, the guildsliners use a variant of the Holtzman field to fold space, they can work with out navigators, but it's gambling as you may reemerge inside a sun or caught in the gravity of a black hole, or hit by a comet etc, navigators r required 2 use prescience to predict the safety of the journey, thats all
I always thought this massive info dump of an exposition fest could have easily been done away with in the beginning. Anyone with half a brain is going to be able to make the correlation between the spice in Dune and the spice of the 17th-18th centuries and anyone who doesn't have half a brain shouldn't be pandered too for their stupidity and won't appreciate it even if you spell it out for them.
Hey, I liked the movie, but the exposition fest at the begining is dull dull dull and not really nessecary. Would have been better without it is all I'm saying.
1984 reviews were terrible 4 this movie. can't understand why. i fell in love w the book & was so happy to see it on screen! a sci fi classic 4 me!!!!
This movie is terrific but could have been better. Originally there was 5 hours of film that was cut into 2 hrs for release. If only that 3 missing hours could be recovered and released as 3 separate movies. It has been re-shot as a miniseries with different actors but would like to see all this original footage instead since Frank Herbert himself was creative consultant.
The 1984 version of Dune had very good actors in it. I'd either forgotten or didn't know Sir Patrick Stewart (one of my favourite actors) was in this as Gurney Halleck. :) I would have loved to hear him doing Gurney's singing with the baliset. :)
This novel/movie is more important than it may seem. Melange is symbolic to reliance on an oil based economy. The name Arrakis is very close to Iraq. Frank Herbert was a newspaper editor so it is unlikely this similarity is an accident. If energy sources are not diversified then this story might be more real than imaginary.
Very true. Plus there is the water thing too for Arrakis as well. The Fremen considered anyone with water was wealthy, to the point that they rendered their dead's water from their bodies.
@astra4nn Actually its better than that, when he lived here in Chiswick West London, and she was vaccuming his carpet, she heard him jumping up and down, screaming like Hollywood had just told him he was gonna be the new Cpnt of the Enterprise, cos thats what had just happend. She was the second person after him to know this in the UK.
She didnt start cleaning for me until about 5 yrs ago.
@LouisPlume: Wow, that's pretty impressive. He had every good reason to be excited! :) Hollywood sure chose well though, Patrick Stewart has quite an undeniable presence whether it be onstage, in movie or on TV.
@astra4nn My fave role of Stewart is an old BBC series called "I Claudius" its all on youtube, he doesnt come in until half way through the series. Its about the first Roman dynasty of Emperors. He plays the evil Sejanus, who ran the empire for the Emperor Tibirius.
@LouisPlume: Ohh.. I should go look for it.. I know he was a Shakespearean actor before, and it would be interesting to see him in an antagonistic role.
no, this movie is based on the best selling Dune novel. The Dune novels are a series. This move is based on the first book. So far they have only turned the first book into a move. There is talk that there might be a second or a remake of this one .
i just looked up the books on chapter's website and they made the third book into a miniseries so they have this one and the third bookmade into movies
@hayman4548213 considering the fact the income from this movie was far smaller then it's expenses, I doubt that, but then again, perhaps a real director will be able to make a better movie, and gross more money.

Very true. Plus there is the water thing too for Arrakis as well. The Fremen considered anyone with water was wealthy, to the point that they rendered their dead's water from their bodies.

@astra4nn Me and Patrick Stewart have shared the same cleaning lady. Is that cool or what.
LouisPlume 2 years ago
Hehe, definitely cool :)

@astra4nn Actually its better than that, when he lived here in Chiswick West London, and she was vaccuming his carpet, she heard him jumping up and down, screaming like Hollywood had just told him he was gonna be the new Cpnt of the Enterprise, cos thats what had just happend. She was the second person after him to know this in the UK.
She didnt start cleaning for me until about 5 yrs ago.

@LouisPlume: Wow, that's pretty impressive. He had every good reason to be excited! :) Hollywood sure chose well though, Patrick Stewart has quite an undeniable presence whether it be onstage, in movie or on TV.

@astra4nn My fave role of Stewart is an old BBC series called "I Claudius" its all on youtube, he doesnt come in until half way through the series. Its about the first Roman dynasty of Emperors. He plays the evil Sejanus, who ran the empire for the Emperor Tibirius.

@LouisPlume: Ohh.. I should go look for it.. I know he was a Shakespearean actor before, and it would be interesting to see him in an antagonistic role.

is this like a series of movies? like star wars???
tomboy6662 2 years ago
no, this movie is based on the best selling Dune novel. The Dune novels are a series. This move is based on the first book. So far they have only turned the first book into a move. There is talk that there might be a second or a remake of this one .

i just looked up the books on chapter's website and they made the third book into a miniseries so they have this one and the third bookmade into movies
tomboy6662 2 years ago
They also made the 1st book into a miniseries. Also the events of the second book are squeezed into the 3rd book's miniseries.
In short, there are 2 miniseries that compile most of the events of books 1-3 and this movie adaption of the 1st book.

Theres alot of books though, doubtfull they'll do the full series unless they heavily abridge it.

Yes, and Director Pierre Morel, who describes himself as an hardcore fan of the book wants to do it on 3D. I think this is a great idea.....

@hayman4548213 considering the fact the income from this movie was far smaller then it's expenses, I doubt that, but then again, perhaps a real director will be able to make a better movie, and gross more money.

What a pathetic Emperor. No where near the one described in the Novel.
I understand that this is a method for the common viewer to understand the plot, but really, it's....extremely laughable!
