	Dune (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965.
		Dune spawned five sequels written by Herbert, and inspired a film adaptation by David Lynch, a mini-series made by the Sci Fi Channel (United States), computer games, and a series of prequels co-written by Brian Herbert, the author's son, and Kevin J. Anderson.
		Dune is the sole source of melange, also known as "the spice" that gives limited prescience and prolongs the user's lifespan; with it, the Guild Navigators see a path through foldspace (thus enabling faster-than-light travel), and the Bene Gesserit can enhance their mental abilities.

	Filmtracks: Dune (Toto)
		Dune: (Toto/Brian Eno) Many people hold the film and score for Dune close to their heart, yet it was perhaps one of the biggest sci-fi disasters in the history of Hollywood.
		And, in strangely a perfect ending, the mess of a movie and mess of a score went remarkably well together.
		All together, Dune is a great score that had been poorly presented on CD numerous times.

	Dune
		The story (if Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms.
		"DUNE" gets better with age (and maturity): I think one of the main reasons the film bombed in 1984 was that the mainstream audience was not yet familiar enough with the "weird" and original artistry of David Lynch, despite the fact that "Elephant Man" had been nominated for oscars only 4 years earlier.
		Movies often fail to meet up to the book they are based upon and this is no exception, in my opinion.

		When I told him I wanted to purchase the rights to Dune and that the film had to be international because it would be more than ten million dollars (a fabulous sum for that time: even Hollywood didn't believe in science-fiction films, 2001 would be unique and unsurpassable) he didn't move a muscle: "Alright.
		Dune wasn't at my service, I was like the samurai that I had found, at the service of the work.

		Dune (Arrakis) is a planet that is the center of the universe: it is only here that the spice Melange is available.
		They soon run into the inhabitants of Dune, the Freemen and Paul (or Muad'dib, as he is known to Fremen) trains them the "weirding way" which involves the use of sound in battle.

	Movie Review - Dune - eFilmCritic
		Symptoms of this include characters pretty indistinguishable from wooden boards, visuals that are so lavishly constructed that there is absolutely no connection to those actually populating the visuals, and a pace that would seem to suggest that what the main goal of the picture would be putting the audience to sleep.
		It lends the movie a majestic quality, yet just like the visuals, it seems to be a bit emotionless.
		The movie joins the rather large list of science fiction works that appear to have tried, and yet have failed miserably.

	Movie Review: 'Dune' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		I am reviewing another movie today which I probably would have never watched -- certainly not the entire six-plus hours of the trilogy's duration -- were it not for the recommendation of a VNN reader.
		"Dune" is the celluloid version of the best-selling 1960s Frank Herbert science fiction novels and was first released in 2000 as a miniseries on the SciFi Channel cable televitz network.
		"Dune" was never made for the big screen, so comparisons with the "Star Wars" movies, with their gargantuan budgets and the Lucas studio's unmatched production facilities, would be grossly unfair.

		Dune fans visiting the area should take the time to pay tribute to the place where it all started, or at least pick up a book or tourist guide from the area.
		This idea was advanced in a French edition of Dune, and is supported by the fact that Beverly died shortly before and Frank shortly after _Chapterhouse: Dune_ was published, and of course the touching dedication and afterword.
		However, it is apparently disproved by the fact that FH planned and had begun working on another Dune novel before he died, and that he did not know of his terminal disease when he wrote what was to be the last volume in the Chronicles.

		Dune was an undertaking that was years in the making.
		The movie is presented in widescreen (2.35.1) and with 5.1 surround sound, and this helps capture the power that is normally lost when this film is shown on television or video.
		Dune remains and epic and a cult classic but it also remains an example of an adaptation that really could have been much, much better.

		Dune is packed with a horde of characters and various subplots.
		When the movie has ground to its halt, the lasting effect is that of emotional uninvolvement with the story.
		When it rains at the end this leaves no impression on the viewer because the movie, unlike the novel, doesn't spend as much time on the scarcity of water and its necessity and why it is important that it should rain on the desert world.

		In addition to this, there was a movie press kit given to reviewers on the release of the film, and a special copy of the Terminology of Dune handed out to audiences in some theatres.
		Several versions of the movie were proposed before Lynch was hired as director, including an attempt by Ridley Scott (director of _Alien_ and later _Blade Runner_ and _Thelma and Louise_), whose concept was rejected because of its high budget.
		However, the Dune connection is often tenuous, limited to a few samples from the movie, for instance.

		The first movie didn't do them justice, and I found the mini-series to be far too artsy for my tastes.

		Beyond that I think the movie is ok. Were they to mix the two together, a great movie might have been made.

		The Lady Jessica was supposed to have a female child who would have in turn been wed to a Harkonnen son, which would have done two things: first, their union would have finally brought peace to the two houses; and second, their offspring would have produced the Kwisatz Haderach.
		Dune is definitely a movie not only worth seeing, but it's worth owning because the first time you see it, it's pretty confusing.
		If Dune would have had the special effects like we have today, and the rest of it stayed exactly the way it was, I would have given this movie a 10.

		New and old fans of the tale should view and enjoy the latest version for the visuals, then go back and review the movie for the Lynchian touch, which in some odd but affecting ways came closer to Herbert's underlying messages of mysticism, miracles and seizing one's destiny than the Harrison version.

		Unlike the original Dune movie, this made for TV version tries to stay closer to the plot of Frank Herbert's novel and that will certainly enhance its appeal to fans.
		Despite its lowly origins as a TV mini series, Dune has levels of production and effects that are on a par with most mainstream SF movies.
		In terms of running time, Dune is the equivalent of two and half normal movies and I am certain that the budget did not allow for two and a half times as much raw footage.
