Negative Positive
Title: See the Sci-fi Channel version instead.
Review: David Lynch's dune is a monumental mess. The novel's fabulous story is now incomprehensible, and the film's poor editing and unwise choice of scenes to adapt makes the film feel choppy and unfocused. The special effects are terrible, the idea of a weirding module is hilariously bad, and the battle scenes are so poorly filmed, you'd think you were watching an Italian spaghetti western (actually, it's arguable action scenes in those were better). So see the 2000 sci-fi channel rendition instead, which unfolds in a captivating, enthralling manner.
