Dune

Timotheeeeee so hot ​​​​​​​​​

If 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.

reeks of piss

I had no idea what was happening

yknow what i didn’t quite catch that

What a fuckin fever dream of a movie. It’s all over the place. Like an absolute mess. Shit just kind of happens, and like 75% of the cast is just chewing scenery like their lives depend on it and most of the other 25% seem like they are half way down a K-hole and don’t know what’s going on. Also the voice over and subbing of lines is ATROCIOUS. Also most of the VFX work is just insane. Implemented so bizarrely and making a lot of total jank even for the time. Just so so much bonkers shit in this movie. That being said, it’s honestly kind of gold. at times it’s a comedy’s gold mine, however unintentional. The practical sets and effects used actually have a ton of 80s charm. It is genuinely a pretty fun watch from that lens but it’s just baffling that this film exists honestly. I will also note that I’ve never read Dune. I’ve seen the two current 2020s Dune films though and it’s very entertaining seeing two very different takes on the same source material. But still 110% worth a watch for a fan of schlocky sci-fi, 80s cheese, or entertainingly bad movies. Or if you have a love for old school film making/ set design, and the early implications of CG.
