The Star Wars series has no reason to fear for this Sci-fi epic may be good, but it's not fantastic.
Paul Atriedes is moving to the planet Arrakis also known as Dune, for the Harkonnens have moved away from Arrakis and so the Atriedes now have control over the planet which is home to the most precious substance in the Universe, the spice melange. But before the departure to Arrakis, a Bene Gesserit Witch visits Paul and tests him with a "box".
The film has enjoyable, yet very serious parts for the first forty minutes. The film comes to an end and you may be wondering what just happened. Another problem is that the end has a very corny and pretty bad script.
The special effects aren't bad but confusing and the film needs to be watched at least three times so that it can be understood. But for those who are looking for a very long sci-fi drama movie that can be tiring as you may give up on the plot at some point, then look no further. But if you want a sci-fi movie that is enjoyable and epic, stick to Star Wars. ***
