David Lynch's 'Dune' at 40: David Lynch's 1984 adaptation is a true spice oddity

Summary

58% Informative

David Lynch's 1984 , single-film adaptation of a crown jewel of genre literature was always as doomed as poor Leto Atreides .

Four decades later the director's version of " Dune " remains an intriguing, if seriously weird, misfire.

In a parallel universe, Lynch might have made "Return of the Jedi" instead.

In contrast, most of the liberties Villeneuve 's movies take with the original text.

Running at a mere 130 minutes , the 1984 movie is always in a rush, particularly in the final act where Paul 's rise to his prophesized destiny as Kwisatz Haderach proceeds at disconcertingly breakneck speed.

The VFX used to create gargantuan sandworms is also impressive for the era, and you can forgive the lack of ornithopters because, well, creating convincing dragonfly-style wings in the pre-CG era would have been borderline impossible.
