David Lynch, holding up 3 identical head shots of Kyle MacLachlan: hmmmm...now..I wonder who will be playing the lead in my next movie....
andieOct 6, 2021Felt like I showed up two hours before the final exam for a class I never attended and tried to skim through the entire textbook. I failed the exam but at least the textbook had a bunch of cool pictures.

why villeneuve's version will be less good: -no partick stewart charging into battle with a puppy -no soundtrack by toto -no knife fight between sting and kyle maclachlan -no terrible yet delightfully charming special effects
amayaJul 8, 2017I'm just glad they still have pugs in the year 10191.

If it was the night before my marriage to David Lynch and I watched this movie, I would probably call the wedding off
Leo SmithMar 22, 2021you mean to tell me that Toto wrote the score for this film and didn't even think of including a remix of Africa with the chorus changed to "I bless the rains down in Arrakis"
liam fMay 29, 2020At least it didn't star Timothee Chalamet

Timotheeeeee so hot
SpindlyMan dislikedDuneIf the spice extends life, than this film shortens life. The visuals hold up mostly to today’s. The story is bizarre, slow, and hard to follow. If you skipped this one you wouldn’t be missing anything.
Andrikk0s likedDuneDavid lynch really copied Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. When they use the shields, they look like Roblox characters. So glad dogs still exist in the year 10,191.
- Formal dislikedDune
- Bro what were those terrible cgi shields LMFAOAOAO 😭🥀
Houssam Darbou is "meh" onDunewell…the cgi was so bad I laughed all the time; the pacing was so fast I couldn’t create any kind of empathy with the characters and I believe if I didn’t watch Villenueve’s Dune (I & II) first I wouldn’t even understand what’s going on; you tried David, you tried.
Breeze dislikedDunelove the book but omg this Is so unserious I can’t with the shields and asmr monologues. Everyone saying this is better than the Timothée chalamet one is blinded by nostalgia even the director has ptsd 😭
- Clay Werner likedDune
6.2 - It’s got a whole lotta bad but I enjoyed myself. I think I just love the Dune-iverse at this point. Lynch may have been ahead of his time - not having the resources needed to pull a story of this magnitude off properly. Effects are mixed for the era, score is perfect, most acting is wooden,…
Obihulk likedDune6/10 This interpretation in all honesty fascinates me. While Lynch tried to tell the full story in a timely manner, the material was too much in the end. Some of the special Effects are laughable, especially with the shields and then other moments were ok. He did do well though 👍
Evan Vachon likedDune6/10 Not a bad movie but nowhere near as good as the new adaptation. The film was way too short and put way too much in a small runtime. Everything was underdeveloped especially Chani. Kyle MacLachlan was great and David Lynch’s direction was easily the best aspect of the film

Metacritic
This is a film that doesn’t dramatically harness the vast forces it’s gesturing at, but trundles determinedly along with very little variation of tone or pace.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Watching Dune is a bit like trying to dig your way out of a sandstorm. Wave after wave of lore and nomenclature pile up around you until you finally succumb, and are buried. At which point you’re best off giving up on the movie as any sort of coherent, compelling piece of science-fiction and simply embrace it as camp.

This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time.
