A film that is both throughout provoking and madding at the same time.I never read the book its based on,but as a movie,its the first time I ever heard about folding space over itself to transverse vast difference.Today's that a big time theory with worm holes and such.
Many new ideas were brought forth to me,but,in a incoherent way.Maybe it was me,or just maybe the film maker,David Lynch,oh wait,thats his stick.That is my biggest complaint plus the films length.Thus 1 and 1/2 stars off.
Released in 1984 it runs 134 minutes.The cast is really good and a mix of actors you don't see in many places.I have to single out a crazy,in a good way, Sting as Feyd Rautha,a bad guy killed in a "knife"fight,yes,they still do those barbaric things when the can fold space and time,by Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides a man out for revenge and becomes,well,GOD !!! Add spice and you have your drugs and sex and violence and a too little role for Jürgen Prochnow as Duke Leto Atreides,killed off, and the cause of Pauls revenge.Alicia Witt as Alia is creepy,in a good way,and the rest of the cast is ok if not memorable,sorry that includes Patrick Steward. Trailer URL follow the pix and a IMDB summary below
In the distant future, a man appears who may be the prophet that a long-suffering galaxy has been waiting for.
n the far future, a duke and his family are sent by the Emperor to a sand world from which comes a spice that is essential for interstellar travel. The move is designed to destroy the duke and his family, but his son escapes and seeks revenge as he uses the world's ecology as one of his weapons. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
