Reviews - In the distant year of 10191, all the planets of the known Universe are under the control of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the most important commodity in the Universe is a substance called the spice "MELANGE" which is said to have the power of extending life, expanding the consciousness and even to "fold space" ; being able to travel to any distance without physically moving. This spice "MELANGE" is said to only be produced in the desert planet of Arrakis, where the FREMEN people have the prophecy of a man who will lead them to true freedom. This "desert planet"of Arrakis is also known as DUNE. A secret report of the space "GUILD" talks about some circumstances and plans that could jeopardize the production of "SPICE" with four planets involved: ARRAKIS, CALADAN, GIEDI PRIME and KAITAIN, a world at least visually very alike to Earth and house of the Emperor of the known Universe. The "GUILD" sends a third stage navigator to KAITAIN to ask details from the Emperor and to demand him the killing of young Paul Atreides, son of the Duke Leto Atreides of CALADAN

DEATHMATCH: Asimov V Herbert - who wins, and why? what did smovface do better than herbdawg, and vice versa. Had to VPN into Amsterdam to watch this from San Francisco because youtube won' let me view due to copy right bullshits. Loved it. Wow- I only read the first three books- had no idea of the scope it went. Tremendous production values directed around a contrived plot point, the "sonic-voice guns. An odd gimmick considering Herbert's original twist- a Duke becomes a threat to his own emperor by training personal troops to an edge nearly matching the emperor's own forces, the Saudaukar. Now there's a premise! Who needs dumb gimmicks.

Great movie, brings back memories from the times reading the books, but a horrible movie at the same time, trying to squeeze all that story into 2 hours. If someone didnt read the books, he must be pretty confused. Ginaz warmasters, Bene Gesserit, Mentats, Fremen, Landsraat and it´s intriqacies. Ay caramba. Probably, DUNE is one of the most controversed movie I know. Some people like it, others don't. As a Frank Herbert's fan, I guess it wasn't so bad for its time, compared to the difficult task of bringing this novel on widescreen.
If you haven't read the novel yet, I'd suggest you see the movie, as a good introduction to Herbert's world, and only then after to read the books. And if you've already read them, maybe you'll think the movie lacks a lot of things as the story runs to fast. and you'll be disappointed...

24:39 THE ultimate offence between women. I find it very fitting that Sean Young was in both this film and BLADE RUNNER as the love interest of the protagonist. This film has a lot in common with the other grim futuristic science fiction film especially in terms of deadeningly slow pace given life by a choice cast and some of the most visionary and creative production design seen up to the time.
Films are only as interesting as their antagonists, and Lynch's DUNE does an excellent job setting those up. The Harkonnens are wonderfully nasty and amoral beings living in a cold and sterile industrial hell- planet with smoke stacks, cables, and cubicles as far as the eye can see. The Imperial planet is austere in a Victorian sense and the Spacing Guild presented in such a ghastly and grotesquely inhuman fashion that they're as interesting as they are stomach-churning. All three of these villainous factions give the film the life that it has.
Unfortunately, the good guys are quite one-dimensional and dull in comparison. Kyle McLachlan doesn't really get to do much with his part, other than slowly become more obsessive, powerful, and unlikable as the film progresses. Ms. Young gets to do even less and maybe has 3 or 4 lines. You know you're in trouble when a narrator has to tell us, Paul and Chani's love grew" because the film gives us no other indication of this. I believe that's where the film fails, is in giving any depth to its main characters or any believability or humanity to their character arcs. This may have been the result of numerous cuts made to the film based on an already quite abridged script. A lot of the narrative failings fall on the shoulders of director Lynch however, as he is so unable to "show" what is going on that he relies on characters' inner monologues to "tell" us what is going on, and much of the time quite unnecessarily.
Despite its great failings and bizarre combination of confusion and slowness, DUNE has well-realized otherworldly atmosphere aided immeasurably by the costuming department who went all-out in creating a visual style for the film that has never been equaled since. It's a truly unique mixture of styles and various steam-punk / H.R. Geiger influence on display. Historically, this film represents a major crossroads of some of the best special effects people working at the time, with makeup artist Giannetto De Rossi, mechanical effectsman Carlo Rambaldi, explosive engineer Kit West, and miniature set guru Emilio Ruiz all combining forces for the only time in all of cinema. The results are a mixed bag for sure, but on the occasions in which this film works, it's utterly amazing.

Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work. Patrick Stewart, DUNE 1984. Why did you leave that out.

Since they formed the honored matres, they DID turn on the populace

Release the trailer already. The hype has overtaken me. But I should remember, Hype is the mindkiller. At 4:40 Duke Leto says You all know what to do! I dont remember this scene in the movie. Can anyone tell me this scene in fairly good detail ? Thanks. Dune Quick Links Watch Online Hoyts full movie vimeo Watch Dune Online Forbes. This is the greatest Dune summation ever. My honest opinion: the concept is amazing HOWEVER, half way through the movie i became completely lossed. They had some crazy time skips and they didn't explain why a lot of events took place, these events just seem to happen. It's as if they couldn't fit everything needed for a satisfying story into this movie and all the narration/exposition in the world couldn't save it. I would be more than happy to sit down and watch three 2hour long movies that encompass this 1 movie. Or even a series. Even though I think this story is way too epic to be made into a 1hour series. I wasn't satisfied at the end of this movie but i still look forward to the remake.

I love that some of the favourite quotes are variations on graaaaaaaaaaarrrrghhhh. :D. Watch full movie english download Dune Hd-720p. Whence [Dune] full movie download in hindi. AHHHH-CHAAAAA. OMG WTF. Good idea, but this weapon was not in the books, just sayin. So glad I found this version. Thank you for this, and returning narration to the Princess Irulan. I never could take to that chap doing it, until I saw what you did with those parts. This is the definitive edition of the film. So many great actors and actresses in this film, shame they never attempted the other books. Other than a few noticeable, by today's standards, this film reminds me that practical effects and lots of extras makes for a better 'look' than CGI, but this film could do with a little CGI uplift and maybe an update on all the creatures. Impossible wishes but a pipe dream! I know it's more of an inspired by the books film, even though this version is closer, but for the time that was the only film there is. The series was fine, but a bit PG and due to limited budgets t played out like a stage production. That's ok and I like that we have both, but want more and an up to date version closer to the books in a multi film or Netflix series (they have the willingness to spend money.

Why this loud music? WHY. The fact that Patrick Stewart looks older in this movie than he does today...
