Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Ok the special effects are from the 80s but the storyline is just amazing. The film inspired me to read all the books. If you are a sci-fi fan this has to be in your top 5

"Dune" had one of the finest casts ever assembled. Francesca Annis, Freddie Jones, Dean Stockwell, Jose Ferrer, Brad Dourif, Sian Phillips, Patrick Stewart, Max von Sydow, Sean Young . . . why, even Sting shows up (quite a lot of himself; and, according to the special features, he might have shown off even more!) Sure, most of those actors are a bit on the "cult" side, but they're all solid talent.The source material was a little more iffy. DUNE is a BIG book, and so different it carries a glossary of terms author Frank Herbert coined (well, in lots of cases, ripped off). And adapting the book for the screen was a delicate balancing act, as Herbert fans are, in their bookish way, as fanatical as Star fans (Trek or Wars).The surprising thing was that a movie this size, costing forty million dollars in an era when a movie's price tag was part of its marketing, was entrusted to David Lynch. Until that time Lynch's most normal movie was "The Elephant Man." Lynch, who enjoys focusing on the weird and the frankly disgusting made Herbert's novel even more weird and disgusting. Whenever the Harkonnens appear onscreen, lay aside your popcorn.
