Review of Dune

Dune (1984)
3/10
Very Laughable and It's Not A Comedy
12 May 2024
I never bothered watching this when it came out. The previews at the time painted it as fairly boring. I don't think the film has aged very well.

To me it seems like a Star Wars ripoff with some Dr Who tradis' thrown in, thunderbird characters and Flash Gordon dodginess without the great Queen soundtrack.

I couldn't help but laugh at the dodginess of the film from the big eyebrow dudes with stained lips that looks like they've been felching, assassin glass dildoes and irrelevant inner dialogues. I'm sure that "spice" is their codeword for drugs. There's one scene where Patrick Stewart is playing some guitar/sitar thing and they all seem to be sitting around smashed of their dials. Even the cast seen to be laughing at the film throughout

If you like dodgy Dr Who type movies, this will probably be right up your alley. Maybe worth a watch for how pretentious and silly it is. But 2.5hrs is a long time for any B grade movie.
