Dune Storyline
Year 10191. Summoned by the emperor to take over the stewardship of the arid, inhospitable planet Arrakis–the only source of Spice, the sacred hallucinogen–Duke Leto of the noble House Atreides and his family travel to the peril-laden exoplanet. But there, beset by indecipherable visions, Paul Atreides, the duke’s gifted son, finds himself caught between two worlds, as the grotesque Baron Vladimir of the brutal House Harkonnen plots revenge. Now, the road to legend leads deep into the desert. Can Paul fulfil his destiny in far-off Dune, the home of the mysterious, blue-eyed Fremen?

Dune Movie Reviews
“He shall know your ways as though born to them.”
It’s been some time since I’ve read the Frank Herbert novel, and I had already forgotten much of the story. However it wasn’t a problem picking things up as characters and situations presented themselves in this film, so I’d have to say that was a plus for this viewer. The scope of this picture is quite outstanding, spanning as it does a complex and fragmented universe of worlds and kingdoms. Central to the story is the valued importance placed on a spice that’s a preferred hallucinogenic for some, and for the elite, an important component required for interstellar travel. In the novel I believe it was something as common as cinnamon, but on the planet Arrakis, required an intensive mining operation to reclaim it from the barren desert soil in which it’s found.
The entire story is veiled with a mystical sort of ambiance in which the protagonist, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), learns of his destiny while obliquely being referred to as ‘The One’ of legend, a person who will come into great power. Quite honestly, the setting, costuming, characterizations and palace intrigue is all quite reminiscent of ‘Star Wars’, even if the original novel was written over a decade before George Lucas arrived on the scene. Even the hostile environment of Arrakis has the feel of Tatooine, with the appearance of the Shai-Hulud recalling the Sarlacc, one of Jabba the Hutt’s favorite pets.
What surprised me with this first installment of the Dune saga was how well director Denis Villeneuve managed to condense the epic scope of a massive novel onto film, even if half of the story is yet to be told. The movie incorporates the most critical elements of the novel into a narrative that works really well. Even though I actually did enjoy the 1984 version directed by David Lynch, this one proves to be more inclusive of events in the novel, and I look forward to a successful conclusion to the saga in due time.
Dune- as Endless as a Desert.
There is probably no point in warning about spoilers for this film. You’ve probably read the book or seen either the 1984 Dino DeLaurentis version or the 2000 Sci-Fi mini-series…. If you’ve seen either one of those, you’ve seen this movie. This movie only covers half the story, the sequel we’ll probably never get to see will cover the other half.
So how does it stack up? Not well, in my opinion. It’s a loud, dull action movie, with an ear-splitting soundtrack. It has all the scenes you might have seen if you watched either of those two versions, but didn’t do them nearly as well.
At two and a half hours, it drags on. The Lynch version of the film was 137 minutes, and got the whole story in. This film leaves key aspects out, and only tells half the story, and it just goes on and on and on.
To start, let’s talk about characters. DeLaurentis got a cast of largely unknowns back then, many of whom went on to distinguish themselves. Kyle MacLachlin, Patrick Stewart, Dean Stockwell, Sean Young. Heck, even the little girl actress, Alicia Witt, went on to have a career as an adult. This movie uses a cast of people you’ve heard of, and their screen time is often based on “I know who that is.” Other characters, more critical ones, were kind of shuffled to the side.
I’ll give two examples. A key point in the book is that the betrayal by Dr. Yeuh, (played here with no charisma by Cheng Chen) because as a Suk Physician, taking a human life is against his conditioning. No build up, no nothing, he just does it.
On the other hand, because Duncan Idaho is played by Jason Momoa, he gets a lot more screen time than his presence in the book. (Duncan’s clones become a much more important part of later books, but that’s neither here nor there.) His final fight scene goes on interminably here, while they were quickly brushed over in the previous versions.
Similarly, while Peter DeVries is a key player in the book, here they don’t even mention him by name, and he’s just “Henchman who gets poisoned”. Other characters are omitted altogether, including Emperor Shaddam, Princess Irulan and Feyd Ruatha. Concepts such as the Mentats, Guild, Bene Geserit, are kind of glossed over to get to those sweet, sweet action sequences.
The movie rises and falls on the actor who plays Paul Atreides… and again, he’s actually closer to the age that the character is supposed to be at the beginning of the book, but he comes off as a little Emo.
Again, trippy as it was, the 1984 version did this better. The Sci-Fi Channel did it better… Now, this film really LOOKS good. The visuals are immersive. But without strong characters and story to back them up, what’s the point? It’s almost like watching a Transformers movie. The thing is, they HAD strong characters and a story… they just didn’t use them.
My movie of 2021, so far.
It’s been amazing being back in cinemas after last year, I have seen some good films, and some shockers, this though, is the first great film of the year for me.
The story is somehow easier to follow than in the last adaptation, motives and actions are easier to see and follow. I felt as though the book had come to life here, even if there are a couple of changes.
The acting is impressive, as is the music, the visuals however are the most incredible thing about this film, it looks awe inspiring. The battles are epic, the staging is impressive, you almost feel close to the action, I cannot praise that element highly enough.
When I saw Part one, I was a little surprised, I was a little more surprised by the ending, I only hope the wait isn’t too long.
Pacing, considering where the film ends, it never felt slow or drawn out, I was captivated from start to finish.
Truly, I was blown away, 10/10.
