Villeneuve’s goal to only adapt the first half of Duneand save the second half for a sequel is one of the main reasons why his version is superior to Lynch’s. Not only was Lynch required to cram Frank Herbert’s entire magnum opus into a single movie; he had to keep the runtime around the tight two-hour mark. Herbert’s dense source novel left Lynch ...
When it hit theaters amidst a sea of Marvel projects and generic wannabe blockbusters, Dune was criticized for its lack of action. There may not be a big battle sequence every couple of minutes, but there’s still plenty of action in Dune. Not only does Villeneuve bring a visceral intensity to sequences like House Harkonnen’s attack on Arrakeen and ...
The acting in the original Dunemovie is fine, but the hammy, eccentric performances are too far removed from relatable human behavior for the cast to convince the audience that they’re playing real people. The actors in the 2021 version, on the other hand, play their roles as realistically as possible, grounding the trippy, futuristic storytelling ...
This is a very minor gripe, but in the Lynch movie, the Holtzman shields (the force-field suits worn by Paul and Gurney during combat training) are hideous. It’s hard to tell what’s going on, because the shields are created by plastering digital clipart-style cubes around the fighters’ limbs and torsos. It’s worse CGI than Tron, which hit theaters ...
There’s no doubt that Lynch’s Dunelooks great, with visuals that complement the words of Herbert’s source material nicely, but the cinematography of Villeneuve’s version truly transports the audience to Arrakis. Director of photography Greig Fraser won a much-deserved Oscar for his work on Dune. Fraser recently brought a similarly immersive, atmosp...
Like Fraser, Hans Zimmer won an Academy Award for his work on Dune, marking the legendary composer’s second Oscar win for Best Original Score. The 1984 original featured Toto’s first and only film score. Suffice to say, Zimmer’s Dunemusic is more striking. As usual, he uses atmospheric noises and a wall of sound to engage the audience with the visu...
The opening title calls it “Dune Part 1” and while this two-and-a-half hour movie provides a bonafide epic experience, it’s not coy about connoting that there’s more to the story. Herbert’s own vision corresponds to Villeneuve’s own storytelling affinities to the extent that he apparently did not feel compelled to graft his own ...

John Hurt gives the beaten-down Winston a somber, even witless, face while still conveying his deep, suppressed longing for freedom and connection. Burton, using his smarmiest vocal intonations, makes even O'Brien's friendly gestures seem ominous and worrisome. In that way the movie faithfully embodies the book's tone, one of warning and dread.
