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.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 27, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Dune (1984) review helpful

    I just rented it okay, but I AM a die hard sci-fi maniac. My knowledge ranges from the Star Wars movies (my personal fav's), 2001 (and 2010), to the acclaimed Alien movies. I also look into the ones highly recommended - Blade Runner, Planet of the Ap...es (original and the awesome remake), even the Terminator movies. But since I am not familiar with David Lynch, and hearing a lot about this movie, I decided to give it a look. How I have made a wise choice. The plot gathered to me very gradually in a fashion you wouldnt expect. And seeing a remarkable cast - reknowned Patrick Stewart, Max Von Sydow, even Sting - gave me a sense of emotion. This emotion gave me the very feeling that this movie had character itself. And another thing I find noting, is the theme of the movie - as heard in the title credits! I must admit, when I first heard, it was absorbing and moving. Other things that made this movie a noted one was the inventive sound, the simple visual effects (which I think are original), and the pulse rupturing sound. Sci-fi fans all over, if you ever stumble upon this one, do give this one a chance. For it is much deserved, and this movie also deserves a spot on the classic sci-fi list. Read more Less
