David Lynch‘s DUNE Was Insane…

Today we're getting together as Dune fans to watch the 1984 David Lynch movie! This movie is one of the biggest sci-fi flops in history, but the recent adaptions have found huge success, why? Well today we're taking some Spice and catching a ride on a sandworm to find out why this acid trip of a movie got it's reputation.
CONTENT WARNING:
DUNE contains some blood and generally gross moments. There's a character with cyst-type bumps on his face.

DUNE - 1984
In the year 10191, a spice called melange is the most valuable substance known in the universe, and its only source is the desert planet Arrakis. A royal decree awards Arrakis to Duke Leto Atreides and ousts his bitter enemies, the Harkonnens. However, when the Harkonnens violently seize back their fiefdom, it is up to Paul (Kyle MacLachlan), Leto's son, to lead the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, in a battle for control of the planet and its spice. Based on Frank Herbert's epic novel.

I watched this movie a few months ago with my dad who is a dune fan (I'm not). I know very little about dune. I honestly thought it was fine. For the time I think it does the worms and the ships decently. The music was cool. Obviously it was kinda hard for me to follow because it crams so much into one movie and doesn't have time to explain it. It also doesn't help that it's David Lynch and he added a bunch of weird things that are not in the book(s) from what my dad told me. Like the cat milk antidote thing. But overall I thought it was fine, not great, not bad, just fine.
