Dune Trailer (1984)




There's something about Dune that appeals to me, but a lot of people do not go for it.

I think I appreciate various conceptual aspects (the Houses, the fact that intelligent computers are banned, some of the weapon and ship designs) and the 'epic' look to certain scenes (the lighting, the worn look, the vast-scale cinematography), such that I overlook the often talked about flaws of the film (being relatively disjointed and too short to convey the story effectively). I like its difference to other sci-fi films of the 80s.
"The Sleeper has awakened!" Epic - but not for everyone.
