The costume and set design are spot on, while the special effects are stunning. While Max Von Sydow and Patrick Stewart are quite weird in their roles, they are weird in a good way as they are very enjoyable here. And Francesca Annis is gorgeous. However, everything else doesn't work.
First off, I didn't think David Lynch was the right director for this. But when I think of Lynch, I think of haunting and surrealistic, not taking a mammoth book and condensing it into a three hour movie. Granted, I do not go against directors who do something different once in a while, but this didn't feel like Lynch.
Speaking of the length, I think 3 hours is not enough to do justice to this wonderful book, it should have been at least a 5 or 6 hour mini-series, and the pacing is often stodgy. The script is awful mostly, often cheesy and dull and the story feels bloated and skimmed over, taking elements that were so good in the book and either poorly exploring them or leaving them out entirely.
At times it wasn't very easy to follow either. The music score is mostly mediocre, while I was both surprised and disappointed at how much overacting there was, Von Sydow and Stewart aside. Kyle McLachlan is a bland lead, while the rest of the cast try to make amends for the script and fail spectacularly. All in all, a big disappointment and a interesting failure. Dune can never and will never attain the popularity of Star Wars. It has however attained a certain cult status with some most esoteric science fiction fans.
