“Dune” (The Movie), Annotated

I'm not young :)

I just couldn't get past the horribly stilted dialogue, the clowny costumes, and the completely terrible "inner monologue."

Oh, and the last scene where the emperor himself jumps on the merry-go-round and is shooting things. wtf.

The movie was so completely bad in every dimension.

The only positive is that after watching it, I got a better idea of what was happening in the 2021 version.

Well, I can agree with parts of that, and still, the new movie is worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Totally agree. I think it was badly done. Big waste of lots of millions of dollars; and it blocked the stream for a new version, for two decades.

Not criticising Lynch for having a go; props. I just don't think it worked out. That's how the cookie crumbles for most movies. Nice try.

The merry-go-round thing was pretty cool tho, for a society without computers. I've yet to read an essay that examines it and tries to figure out its principle of operation.
