Critics Consensus: This truncated adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterwork is too dry to work as grand entertainment, but David Lynch's flair for the surreal gives it some spice.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

Ultimately, Dune is a most magnificent flying machine that can't quite get off the ground. But even if it can't fly, it's certainly impressive to look at on the runway.

It's a remarkable film by a remarkable talent.

Dune does a good job of introducing us to another solar system, but it is full of such soap-opera dialogue and pretentious seriousness that many won't find it worth the trip.

The screenplay loses itself in a confusion of supernatural imagery. Worse yet, Dune fails to develop the sense of allegiance that makes it fun for the moviegoers to pull for the forces of good over evil.

Dune's special effects are undeniably four-star material. But, irreverent as it may seem, with such a proliferation of exotic creatures milling about, it struck me that the film was like nothing so much as a sapped up episode of Doctor who.
