A guy with unrealistically great hair, stands atop a giant earthworm (who isn\'t even wearing a costume) and uses his Alexa-style hand laser to be less effective in combat than just going and buying a regular laser gun. It\'s Dune and arguably one of our most controversial choices to lampoon.

Dune is that unique mix of "well, that looked really good" and "this is a really accurate representation of the novels (sorta)" on one side while also being complete nonsensical crap and horribly cheesy effects and acting on the other side. Is it a stinker? Probably. Is it also passionately made art? Probably. Its not only a head-scratcher on how you want to label it, its a head-scratcher within its content.

What are the damn rules of the Dune universe? I mean seriously. It\'s nonsense. There\'s a space guild that is also a little guy with a vagina mouth that acts as a Mass Relay (see Mass Effect games). There\'s a telepathic witch guild that gets mad if you have a male child because it won\'t fulfill the prophecy even though the male child CLEARLY is the prophecy? Also they are bald, because..... There\'s a guy just puts corks into people\'s chests or is it ALL the people that live on his planet, like a social security card. The universe\'s most important commodity is literally just angel dust but if you do enough of it you can bend space and time to your will. I mean duh phuq? 

Aside from all that, it\'s a pretty basic plot though - these guys are bad and they killed the Duke, so the son is going to get some revengeance and end up as Neo. So try not to get too hung up in the details.

The film is a complete mess. It\'s disorganized, incoherent, sloppy and too long and rambling. But there is a sort of wonder in its problems. It\'s the weird kind of stinker that you enjoy, not because it\'s unintentionally funny, but because it\'s unintentionally so confusing. Whether you love it or hate it, it\'s a must watch and must riff movie.
