Overwiew :David Lynch’s baroque rendering of Frank Herbert’s detailed, complex, and deliberately paced epic science-fiction novel is a muddled but visually stunning affair. It's 10191, and the desert planet Dune has been taken over by the Harkonnens, oppressive conquerors who desire the precious spice that lies beneath Dune's arid sands. The story concerns the attempts of a young warrior messiah, Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), to lead the native inhabitants in an uprising against the evil empire--and battle the giant man-eating worms that guard the coveted spice. Lynch shot much more footage than ended up in the finished film, but executive producer Dino De Laurentis didn't want a three-hour-plus sci-fi epic on his hands, so he coerced Lynch into trimming it. The result is one of cinema’s most infamous cases of personal vision colliding with studio politics. Nonetheless, Lynch still manages to cram in so many visual ideas and captures the tone of the book so well that these production issues can be easily set aside once the story starts rolling. Refusing to further edit the film for television, Lynch took his name off the director and screenwriter credits. As troubling as DUNE might have been for Lynch, the experience greatly inspired 1986’s brilliant BLUE VELVET, for which audiences should be thankful.

www.ram.org - : Dune (Arrakis) is a planet that is the center of the universe: it is only here that the spice Melange is available. The spice allows Navigators (humans that have imbibed too much spice and have been mutated by it) and their Guild to ''fold'' space and time and travel from location to location without physical movement of their bodies. The spice is what makes travel and trade possible between distant star systems and whoever controls Dune controls the Universe.  more...  
www.mutantreviewers.com - : It's a confusing movie about a confusing novel, centered around the fight for a planet with this valuable ''spice''. Too bad they made it before a certain British pop group became popular; I could see the tie-ins. You have Kyle MacLachlan as your standard hero who rallies some rebel people to fight some bad people. Patrick Stewart is in this, as is Sting (although both roles are awful and incomprehensible). The dialogue is about as stilted as reading most short stories from Beginning Creative Writing in college.  more...
