"24.3.2018, rewatch, Yle Areena Tämä oli hieman viihdyttävämpi ja parempi kuin muistin. Onhan tämä hiukan ylipitkä, vähän sekava ja paikoitellen tylsäkin. Ajatus voice-overit hieman vituttavat, mutta kyllä tästä elokuvasta hyviäkin puolia löytyy. Niitä ovat joistain kohtauksista välittyvä hyvä tunnelma, kohtalaisen onnistunut näyttely, hyvät musiikit ja onhan tässä välillä ihan hienoja maisemia. "

So Close Yet So Far

“I had only seen David Lynch's 1984 production of Dune once before when I was much younger, so when I got the chance to see a midnight screening of it at my local theater, I jumped on it. Going into this screening I recalled the movie being somewhat goofy, probably because I had just read all six of the original Dune novels the first time I saw it and OF COURSE it didn't come close to holding up to that lengthy, legendary storyline.

Frank Herbert's universe had seemingly endless plots, subplots, characters and themes. Dune has all the sex, violence and political machinations of Game of Thrones while also concentrating on much more weighty issues like technology, ecology, drug use, spirituality, the destiny of mankind, etc. The depth of Dune is too much for any movie to come close ” read more

Retarded Sci-Fi Movie

“(Review in Spanish)

Dune fue un error en todo el sentido de la palabra, lo que pudo ser quizás la película de ciencia ficción más grande de todos los tiempos, resultó en un filme de ciencia ficción completamente insultante y que ni siquiera vale el gasto de tiempo. Pero vayamos punto por punto, el primero de la larga lista de defectos de esta película se encuentra en sus personajes, principalmente en su protagonista y su antagonista; el protagonista, Paul, que es un Gary Stu en toda la regla que todo lo hace, todo lo puede y que carece de cualquier rasgo que lo haga sentir como un personaje de verdad, pero no es cualquier tipo de Gary Stu, es el elegido, lo que significa que siempre ganará ya que “está regido por el destino” lo que de por sí hace que la historia sea” read more
