Watch: Dune 1984 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the distant year of 10191, all the planets of the known Universe are under the control of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the most important commodity in the Universe is a substance called the spice “MELANGE” which is said to have the power of extending life, expanding the consciousness and even to “fold space” ; being able to travel to any distance without physically moving. This spice “MELANGE” is said to only be produced in the desert planet of Arrakis, where the FREMEN people have the prophecy of a man who will lead them to true freedom. This “desert planet”of Arrakis is also known as DUNE. A secret report of the space “GUILD” talks about some circumstances and plans that could jeopardize the production of “SPICE” with four planets involved: ARRAKIS, CALADAN, GIEDI PRIME and KAITAIN, a world at least visually very alike to Earth and house of the Emperor of the known Universe. The “GUILD” sends a third stage navigator to KAITAIN to ask details from the Emperor and to demand him the killing of young Paul Atreides, son of the Duke Leto Atreides of CALADAN..
Plot: In the year 10,191, the world is at war for control of the desert planet Arrakis—the only place where the space-travel substance Melange ‘Spice’ can be found. But when one leader gives up control, it’s only so he can stage a coup with some unsavory characters.

Reviews:

I read Frank Herbert’s book, _Dune_, when I was in high school and really don’t remember it much except that it was great and a little scary. At that age, I probably didn’t get the subtext message.

I never saw any movies of it so I decided to watch both the 1984 Dune by David Lynch and the 2021 Denis Villeneuve version sequentially. I review Lynch’s version here and both versions in my 2021 Dune review.

This may not be a popular opinion: Lynch’s version (this one) is **brilliant** and the Villeneuve Dune is absolute **shit**. Here’s why:

Are the character’s in David Lynch’s version kitschy and over the top? Yes! That’s one reason it’s so much better! It’s Sci Fi, duh! You watch Marvel movies and suspend disbelief for super powers? All of Lynch’s characters are downright gritty and believable within this particular surreal fantasy.

By the end of the Lynch Dune, I had sympathy for nearly every character in the film. Even the villains caught my emotions. Paul Atreides character development was realistic and attractive.

But here’s the clincher: the screenplay. David Lynch gave us a complete story. Sadly, he didn’t have the final cut and disowned his film when the critics panned it. Despite the fact that Lynch is a true artist and genius, the studio took 45 minutes out of the film. 45 minutes! I would LOVE to see the original cut!

Even ruined by the studio, even 40 years later, Lynch’s film has a clear vision and carries the timeless message that Frank Herbert intended. I can’t say that for the Villeneuve version. Do yourself a favor and see David Lynch’s version.

I know this one has a decent fanbase (both of the novel and movie) but as someone who never read the novel, this first viewing, I found it to be… okay. I can appreciate some of the effects both practical and visual (for its time) but the story and characters never really grabbed me. I was never bored however wasn’t engaged and thought, and perhaps this is how it was with the novel), the main character played by Kyle McLaghlan didn’t seem to face much conflict outside of a knife-to-knife fight at the end with Sting, which was anti-climactic and underwhelming considering he already got his revenge on his father’s murderer.

Not sure I have much interest in coming back to this but have some interest to see what Denis Villeneuve does with his adaptation. **3.0/5**

Too much too ambitious but what a lovely mess
It’s the year 10,191. The universe is ruled by Padishah Emperor Shaddam the Fourth. The most precious substance is the spice, melange which is used to extend life and fold space. It only exists on Arrakis also known as Dune where the local Fremen long for a prophesized messiah. The emperor plans to dethrone Duke Leto Atreides (Jürgen Prochnow) fearing his new weapon, the weirding module. First he allows the House Atreides to run the spice production. Then he supports the jealous House Harkonnen to invade and kill all the Atreides. There is something about Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan) that concerns everybody. He and his mother Lady Jessica manage to escape the massacre. They find shelter with the Fremen as he falls in love with Chani (Sean Young).

There is a dense introduction and lots of expositions. It is way too complicated for novices on the first try. I’m sure many people glazed over. The style is impressive. It has a great unique look. The production value is all there on the screen. The cast is also impressive with some strange outsider casting like Sting, a whole lot of experience, and some newcomers who would become big stars. They all work in their own way. David Lynch is definitely going all in with this movie. It has its Lynch weirdness but he holds it back enough to allow the story to make some sense. The weirdness sometimes works but sometimes pumps up the cheese factor. It just won’t make sense to most people who haven’t read the books. It’s probably a movie that is too ambitious to work completely. It’s also way too melodramatic at times. It works better after a couple of viewings to understand what’s going on.
