Dune: movie review
Last night I watched the movie Dune
I
will admit I am not a David Lynch fan. I have watched Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and
Blue Velvet. All of them were strange and annoying. I usually like strange, but geez, these
were annoying.
Dune is a different movie, not quite a big Hollywood blockbuster, but
not the confusing, annoying Lynch movie. It was fairly interesting. The inner dialogue
being a voice over was over used. I understand using it for the main character, but
everyone? Oh well, I becan accustomed to it eventually. The links to the planet
Arakas being a desert planet which is the only source for the spice (necessary component of
space travel) was a little strange but interesting. (Iraq, desert, oil, etc.)
The
action scenes were a little sub par. The romance was not developed at all, and didn’t
seem necessary at all. Overall the movie was interesting, and hey Patrick Stewart
was in it.
Rating 2.5 out of 4 stars
