Dune [HD DVD]

A guilty pleasure for sure, but the more I see this movie, the more I like it. Some of the effects weren't the best but it went further and developed a more surreal universe as a setting than most sci-fi (loved the fact that mathmeticians were the ones with the power, loved the utterly diabolical Harkonnen way of life, loved when they used voice alone as a weapon). A couple of the worm scenes on...

Not a good movie. The acting is mediocre at best. The story and script had obvious potential but the onscreen version not only falls flat but is riddled with long boring stretches. It can also be quite confusing at times and requires patience and good attention. Not quite so bad as many crap films on this list though so I won't rate it a 1.

A textbook example of how to make a bad movie out of a good book.
